DISC Gibson ES-335 Dot 2018, Wine Red

Full Description

Lightweight Hollow Body

The Gibson ES-335 Dot hollowbody guitar features a 3-ply maple/poplar/maple body, delivering a bright, and precise tone with a balanced response. In addition, a pair of traditional ''F'' sound holes are also included, and not only offer a classic appearance, but deliver resonance and acoustic projection.

Neck & Fingerboard

A C shaped neck profile is also included, which allows for fluid hand flexibility across the whole fingerboard. For added comfort the neck's binding is rounded off, offering a comfortable fit to the contours of the player's hand. Coupled with a rosewood fingerboard, players can achieve a warm tone with a natural feel.

Authentic Bone Nut

The Gibson ES-335 Dot electric guitar features an authentic bone nut, which offers an enhanced tone and sustain over traditional plastic and tusq nuts as it improves the vibration transfer between the string and tuning machines without dampening the tone.

Burstbucker Humbucking Pickups

A set of Burstbucker humbucking pickups designed to recreate the tone of the classic Gibson PAF pickups, gives the Gibson ES-335 Dot a rich vintage tone. Burstbucker 1 is located in the bridge position, and provides a medium output with a well-rounded and creamy tone due to the alnico magnets and under-wound construction. Burstbucker 2 is located in the neck position, and delivers a slightly hotter tone similar to '57 classic pickups.

Classic Styling

The ES-335 is decorated with a full host of classic appointments that make it instantly recognisable as a Gibson. These include black top hat control knobs, Grover 102 Rotomatics tuners, black pickguard and its elegant double cutaway design. Players will also love the vibrant Wine Red finish, that will stand out on any stage.
