From its arrival in 1958 and throughout its glory years, few ES-335s were built with figured maple tops, and those that remain are highly prized. Our 2016 ES-335 Figured from Gibson Memphis capture this exotic-wood elegance in a great sounding and playing semi-acoustic. A tubeless Historic truss rod, PAF-style Burstbucker 1 & 2 pickups, a redesigned neck profile for increased strength and comfortable feel, and top-quality hardware including a new bridge with titanium saddles make this an outstanding semi by any standards.
