The ES-335 split the difference between solid-body sustain and hollow-body warmth in 1958 and has anchored blues, jazz, and rock ever since. Our 335 wall leans heavily Custom Shop: '58, '59, and '61 reissues, Murphy Lab aging, and PSL limited runs, each inspected and set up before shipping.

About the Gibson ES-335

The first commercially successful semi-hollow electric, the ES-335 pairs a maple center block with hollow wings for a voice that's woody and warm yet feedback-resistant at volume: the sound of B.B. King, Larry Carlson, and Chuck Berry. Today Gibson's Custom Shop recreates the golden-era 335s in obsessive detail, from dot-neck '58s and '59s to block-inlay '61s, many finished with Murphy Lab aging in Ultra Light through Heavy. Our stock is dominated by these one-off Custom Shop pieces plus PSL (Premier Showroom Limited) runs built exclusively for dealers like Righteous Guitars, so the exact guitars on this page rotate week to week.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a 1958, 1959, and 1961 ES-335 reissue?

The '58 has an unbound dot neck and thinner top; the '59 adds binding and the bigger '59 neck carve most players associate with the golden era; the '61 moves to a slimmer neck. All three share the maple center block that defines the 335 sound.

What does PSL mean on a Gibson ES-335?

PSL runs are small-batch Gibson Custom Shop builds offered only through Gibson's top showroom dealers. Righteous Guitars receives PSL ES-335 runs in specs and finishes you won't find in the standard catalog.
