Gibson es 335 vintage sunburst
Like the les paul, the es-335 stands as one of gibson’s all-time most iconic models. The es-335 is a semi-hollowbody guitar which means that it has a solid block of wood running through its center with hollow wings on either side. This construction style maintains the open tone of a hollowbody while helping to reduce feedback. The es-335 was introduced in 1958 and has remained in production in various forms ever since. Starting in 1981, the model was referred to as the es-335 dot in reference to its use of dot inlays like the original models from the late ’50s. In 1990, it was renamed the es-335 reissue.
