Gibson ES-335 Watermelon
The Gibson ES-335 Watermelon offers a vibrant reimagining of one of the most iconic semi-hollowbody designs in music history. Introduced in 1958, the ES-335 has earned its reputation as a versatile and timeless instrument, beloved by players across genres. This refreshed model introduces a bold Watermelon finish, blending classic craftsmanship with an eye-catching contemporary aesthetic.
Built with a maple/poplar/maple laminated body and a solid maple center block, the ES-335 delivers excellent sustain, resonance, and reduced feedback, making it a stage and studio favorite. Its mahogany neck features a Rounded "C" profile for comfortable playability, while the rosewood fingerboard with acrylic dot inlays ensures smooth, precise performance. Outfitted with T-Type humbuckers and a handwired control assembly, this guitar provides a tonal palette ranging from warm cleans to dynamic overdrives. The lightweight aluminum ABR-1 bridge, Stop Bar tailpiece, and Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons enhance tuning stability and intonation, solidifying the ES-335 Watermelon as a masterful blend of heritage, innovation, and style.
