Gibson ES-335 Figured Custom Color, Honey Amber

The Gibson ES-335 Figured is the perfect blend of form and function and delivers classic ES-335 performance and versatility with the drop-dead gorgeous looks of highly figured AAA maple. The top and back of the body are bound, and the semi-hollow body is crafted with 3-ply AAA figured maple/poplar/maple, while the AAA figured maple outer layer makes these exceptionally beautiful guitars. A solid maple centerblock delivers exceptional feedback resistance and contributes increased sustain, a characteristic that the ES-335 is famous for. The body uses quarter-sawn Adirondack spruce bracing for tone and strength. Players will be impressed by the lightweight feel and expanded range of tonal capabilities that this guitar delivers. The mahogany neck has a comfortable Rounded C profile and is capped with a bound rosewood fretboard that is equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets and is adorned with acrylic small block inlays. The 12" fretboard radius makes it equally well suited for playing first-position "cowboy chords" and soaring lead lines with plenty of string bends further up the neck without fear of the strings fretting out. The ES-335 Figured is equipped with high-end appointments like our hand-wired control assembly with Orange Drop® tone capacitors. The pickups are a pair of Gibson's new Calibrated T-Type humbucking pickups. Smooth-turning Vintage Deluxe style tuners, a lightweight aluminum ABR-1 bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece anchored with steel thumbwheels and studs, and a Graph Tech® nut all contribute to the excellent tuning stability and impressive sustain. The AAA figured maple body is set off by beautiful Custom Color Series gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finishes, including Blood Moon Burst, Deep Ocean Burst, and Honey Amber. A Gibson hardshell case is also included to help keep the ES-335 Figured safe and secure when in storage and when you're transporting it to your next gig.
