Epiphone’s Authentic Take on Gibson’s Legendary ES-335

The Epiphone ES-335 Figured is a tribute to Gibson’s storied semi-hollowbody electric guitar, and with it by your side, you’ll take absolute command of the stage. This warm, resonant semi features a layered maple top, back, and sides with stunning flame veneers, along with a solid maple center block, ensuring that every note you play is infused with amazing sustain and tone. You'll experience a wide range of vintage-inspired tones thanks to the ES-335 Figured’s Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers, while enjoying effortless playability courtesy of a laurel-capped, rounded “C”-shaped neck. The Epiphone ES-335 Figured’s exquisite flame-covered appearance is accented by eye-grabbing body and fingerboard binding, plus a head-turning Epiphone Crown headstock inlay and classic block fingerboard inlays. A high-quality Graph Tech NuBone nut and rock-solid Epiphone Deluxe tuners round out this classy ES-335.

Quality construction delivers top-notch playability

Epiphone's ES-335 Figured sports a full-sized layered maple body, modeled after Gibson's legendary semi-hollowbody electric guitar, with spotlight-stealing AAA flame veneers and a solid maple center block for maximum tone and sustain. Here, we know that when you have a hankering for that one-of-a-kind sound, nothing but a semi will do. This guitar’s mahogany neck features Epiphone's rounded “C” profile for easy, comfortable playability, and its Indian laurel fingerboard has a 12-inch radius, which is great for lead and rhythm playing alike.

Distinct semi-hollowbody tone

If you've ever listened to rock or blues from the '50s or '60s, you've heard "the tone" you'll find in Epiphone’s version of the ES-335 Figured. The phrase bell-like is most appropriate here, with notes that spring to life and then gently decay into a long sustain — perfect for lead lines and solos. While the tone can get bright and aggressive if you need it to, it's the warm and smooth overdriven tones that made Gibson’s historic design such a groundbreaking guitar for blues and jazz styles. You'll get the same magic with the Epiphone ES-335 Figured's Alnico Classic PRO pickups. Voiced to get the perfect vintage tone, these pickups deliver all the warmth, punch, and bite you want and need from a semi-hollowbody guitar.

Epiphone's years of semi-hollowbody experience

Epiphone was already experienced in making semi-hollowbody electric guitars by the time the ES-335 became a hit in 1958–1959. The Epiphone Riviera and Sheraton were two popular models at the time, and '50s originals still fetch a pretty penny. So, while the Epiphone ES-335 Figured is incredibly affordable, it's still built with Epiphone's 50-plus years of experience in creating semi-hollowbody guitars with incredible tone and amazing value.
