Like the Les Paul, the ES-335 stands as one of Gibson's all-time most iconic models. The ES-335 is a semi-hollow body guitar which means that it has a solid block of wood running through its centre with hollow wings on either side. This construction style maintains the open tone of a hollow body while helping to reduce feedback. The ES-335 was introduced in 1958 and has remained in production in various forms ever since. The official model designation of this ES-335 is ESDT-335, with the DT representing dot fret markers.
This Memphis made 2003 model looks fantastic with the gloss black finish. The guitar has clearly been well played with lots of small marks and swirls evident on the gloss finish (see last 5 pictures). Other than that the guitar is in great condition with frets and fretboard spot on. Setup with a new set of DR Blues 10s, the guitar comes complete with its Gibson tan hard case, which is missing its combination latch – think someone forgot their code??
