Launched 55 years ago, in 1958, the ES-335 is undoubtedly a classic, not only of Gibson’s but of all electric guitar designs. What the Les Paul model is to solidbodies, the ES-335 is to semis – beautiful, versatile and coveted by players across all genres.
Some history on one of the great guitars.
I love the 335 to death, but I fear the closest I’ll ever get to one is the cheapish Magnum copy I bought when I was 17.
Guitar pr0n. Sheesh.
I’m so glad that guitar was the 5th instrument I learned so that I only have to have one of them and not some giant collection.
