Quality construction delivers top-notch playability

Epiphone's ES-335 sports a full-sized layered maple body, modeled after Gibson's legendary semi-hollowbody electric guitar, with a solid maple center block for maximum tone and sustain. 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.  Sadek Musical, we know the importance of having the right instrument to bring your music to life. The ES-335’s mahogany neck, paired with Epiphone's rounded “C” profile, ensures effortless playability for any guitarist. The Indian laurel fingerboard features a 12-inch radius, making it ideal for both lead and rhythm players, giving you the flexibility you need for any style.

Distinct semi-hollowbody tone

If you've ever listened to rock or blues from the '50s or '60s, you've already heard "the tone" that defines Epiphone's version of the ES-335. Known for its bell-like clarity, the tones you’ll achieve with this guitar come to life with a remarkable sustain that gently decays — perfect for lead lines and solos. The ES-335’s vintage-inspired sound can be both bright and aggressive, but it's the warm, smooth overdrive that truly captures the essence of Gibson's groundbreaking design, making it the go-to choice for blues and jazz. Sadek Musical, we understand how important that classic tone is for your music. That's why we offer the Epiphone ES-335 with its Alnico Classic PRO pickups, perfectly voiced to deliver all the warmth, punch, and bite you need from a semi-hollowbody guitar. Whether you’re playing smooth jazz or rocking out, these pickups offer the perfect vintage tone, ensuring your performance resonates with rich, timeless sound.

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 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.  Visit Sadek Musical to explore the full range of Epiphone guitars, including the ES-335. Our knowledgeable staff is here to help you find the perfect instrument to match your sound and style.
