Get a true American original with the Gibson ES-335. Introduced in 1958 as Gibson’s first thinline archtop electric, the ES-335 has continued to win over legions of devoted players for 60 years. Featuring a beautifully resonant maple/poplar/maple body, quartersawn mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, and a pair of MHS II humbuckers, this vintage instrument puts out one-of-a-kind tone that is ideal for jazz and blues but can translate easily into rock as well. Many Sweetwater guitarists have fallen for the Gibson ES-335.
