Description
The 2018 Gibson ES-335 Traditional is not a revolution, it's an evolution.
Built on a pedigree of performance and quality, this guitar takes things a step further.
The ABR-1 bridge is enhanced with titanium saddles for increased clarity, definition, and sustain.
The MTC Plus control assembly is hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors and our MHS humbucking pickups, resulting in that distinctive Gibson tone that players crave.
New timeless finishes include Antique Faded Cherry and Antique Ebony.
The 2018 Gibson ES-355 Black Beauty is an elegant instrument that pays homage to the legendary Les Paul guitar that was first introduced in 1957.
A modified Memphis Premiere Tone Circuit paired with three MHS humbucking pickups provide the incredible versatility of all seven pickup configurations.
Additional tones can be shaped thanks to an out-of-phase middle position MHS humbucker, and a newly designed MHS bridge pickup with increased output.
Modern appointments include a weight-relieved maple centerblock, ABR-1 bridge with titanium saddles, Grover "Milk Bottle" Rotomatic tuners, dark rosewood fingerboard, and a bone nut.
Finished in ebony with a Gibson Custom peghead veneer, this guitar is a true beauty to behold.
