The Gibson ES-335 Dot is one of the most iconic electric guitars of all time, prized for its ability to seamlessly bridge the gap between the resonance of a hollow-body and the sustain of a solid-body. This Vintage Sunburst model delivers the unmistakable warmth, clarity, and harmonic complexity that has made the ES-335 a favorite for blues, jazz, and rock players since its introduction in 1958.

Acoustically, this ES-335 resonates with a broad, open tone, offering tight, growling bass and sweet top-end sparkle. Plugged in, the dual ‘57 Classic PAF humbuckers capture that vintage magic with articulate treble response, smooth low-end, and a midrange that cuts through the mix without harshness. Its versatility makes it equally suited to soulful clean tones and driven classic rock grit.

This model features a carved curly maple body with a maple centerblock, a slender ’60s-style C-shaped mahogany neck, and a rosewood fingerboard with simple dot inlays. The gloss nitrocellulose Vintage Sunburst finish highlights the striking flame figuring across the maple top and back, while nickel-plated hardware and traditional appointments complete its timeless look. For players seeking a guitar with rich history, versatility, and elegance, the ES-335 remains a gold standard — and it’s available right now at Haggerty’s Music.
