The Timeless Tradition
The Gibson ES-335 DOT is the cornerstone of the Gibson ES line-up. From it's inaugural appearance in 1958, the Gibson ES-335 set an unmatched standard. The pearloid dot inlay rosewood fingerboard on a hand-rolled Rounded "C" mahogany neck remind players where it all started. MHS II humbucking pickups are paired with our hand-wired control assembly. The result, is that versatile Gibson ES tone that players have craved for over 60 years. Tuning stability and precise intonation are provided by the Grover "Milk Bottle" tuners, a light weight aluminum ABR-1 bridge, and steel tail piece studs.
