Epiphone EI-335WMRNH3 ES-335 Bigsby Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar - Watermelon Red

Joining Epiphone's 'Inspired by Gibson' collection is this ES-335 Semi-Hollow electric guitar in Watermelon Red with Bigsby. Known for its ability to transcend multiple genres, the ultra-versatile ES-335 is now available at a price-point that most players can afford. Maintaining the signature semi-hollow body construction and powerful dual-humbucker formula that almost all Gibson ES guitars are known for, the Epiphone ES-335 promises a spellbinding sound with superb playability to boot!

Classic Construction

The ES-335's body is crafted from strong layered Maple, which is used to form its top, back and sides. Giving the instrument plenty of vibrancy, definition and acoustic-like volume, this is coupled with a solid Maple tone block that creates the amazing sustain and resonance that players crave from a genuine ES-335.

To add some mid-range warmth, the Epiphone ES-335's body is paired with a Mahogany neck; topped with an Indian Laurel fingerboard for a silky touch under the fingers. The neck adheres to a rounded "C" profile, which offers excellent comfort for traditionalists and contemporary players alike, while 22 medium jumbo frets provide a controllable feel for vibrato and string bends.

Alnico Classic PRO Pickups

A double-dose of proprietary Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers give the Epiphone ES-335 a beautiful vintage voice. Thanks to their medium output, these pickups are highly-responsive to your picking dynamics and lend themselves particularly well to expressive playing styles. Although semi-hollow guitars are fairly synonymous with jazz, these humbuckers can sound raunchy and bold with overdrive - even distortion!
