Built with a layered maple/poplar/maple body, the ES-335 produces the signature warmth, resonance, and sustain that players crave.

These pickups are wired with 500k potentiometers, Orange Drop® tone capacitors, and a three-way pickup selector, allowing players to shape their sound with precision. The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece enhance sustain and tuning stability, while Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons keep everything locked in place.

With its combination of classic craftsmanship, modern performance, and a stunning custom color, the Gibson ES-335 in Watermelon is a standout addition to any guitarist’s collection. Complete with a Gibson hardshell case, this iconic semi-hollow is ready to turn heads and inspire music wherever you take it.
