What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

When we say we get some great 335s in used, this would be a prime example of what we're referring to.  '59 spec from tuners to tail and barely a scratch on it, not to mention the voice on this thing--those Alnico IIIs will give you chills!  If you're looking to get your hands on a bonafide Gibson semi-hollow, you just won't do better than this.

About Manufacturer

Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics-the ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, SGs and Les Pauls-are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles. Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry. In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk model won an industry award for design, setting the stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality and innovation.
