{"product_id":"es-335-satin-satin-cherry","title":"Gibson ES-335 Satin Cherry Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA Semi-Hollow Icon in a Beautiful Satin Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWalk into any blues club, jazz lounge, or rock venue, and you'll spot an ES-335 on stage. There's a reason this guitar has been a staple since 1958 — it sits right in that sweet spot between the warm, open resonance of a hollowbody and the tight, focused sustain of a solidbody. This ES-335 Satin takes that legendary design and wraps it in a gorgeous, understated satin nitrocellulose finish in Cherry that feels broken-in from day one. Whether you're comping jazz chords, digging into blues licks, or pushing into rock territory, this guitar adapts to your playing style without complaint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ES-335 Satin features a three-ply maple\/poplar\/maple semi-hollow body with a solid maple centerblock running down the middle. That centerblock is the secret — it anchors the pickups and bridge while giving you sustain and feedback resistance that a fully hollow guitar just can't match, but you still get that airy, resonant character that makes semi-hollows so expressive. The hand-rolled Rounded C mahogany neck feels instantly comfortable, and the rosewood fingerboard with acrylic dot inlays keeps things classic and clean. Gibson's Calibrated T-Type humbucking pickups deliver versatile ES tone that's been the foundation of countless records for over six decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one's for players who want a pro-level instrument that's ready to work — from weekend warriors and session players to anyone who appreciates a guitar that sounds as good as it looks. If you've been eyeing an ES-335 but want something that feels a little more lived-in and approachable, this satin model is calling your name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eClassic Semi-Hollow Construction with Modern Refinements\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ES-335's body construction is where the magic happens. The three-ply laminate of maple, poplar, and maple is pressed into shape to create that iconic archtop look, while the solid maple centerblock provides a stable foundation for the hardware and electronics. Spruce bracing inside the body adds structural integrity and contributes to the guitar's acoustic properties. This design gives you the best of both worlds: enough hollow space for warmth and resonance, with enough solid mass for sustain and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish isn't just about looks — though the subtle, gently-aged appearance is undeniably cool. Satin finishes feel great to the touch, especially on the neck where your hand glides effortlessly up and down the fretboard. The Cherry color has a timeless appeal that works equally well on vintage-inspired rigs or modern setups. And because it's real nitro, the finish will age and breathe with the guitar over time, adding character as you play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHand-Rolled Neck and Dialed-In Playability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGibson equipped this ES-335 Satin with a set mahogany neck featuring their Rounded C profile. It's substantial enough to give you a comfortable grip for chord work, but not so chunky that it slows you down when you're running scales or bending strings. The hand-rolled edges on the neck make it feel like it's already been played in, eliminating that stiff, fresh-off-the-rack feel. With a 24.75-inch scale length and 12-inch fingerboard radius, the playability is classic Gibson through and through — easy bends, smooth transitions, and excellent access to all 22 medium jumbo frets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rosewood fingerboard is topped with simple acrylic dot inlays, keeping the aesthetic clean and uncluttered. The Graph Tech nut (1.695 inches wide) provides excellent tuning stability and clear open-string tone. Whether you're a rhythm player camping out in the lower positions or a lead player exploring the upper frets, this neck delivers the comfort and response you need to stay focused on your playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCalibrated T-Type Pickups and Vintage-Inspired Hardware\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Calibrated T-Type humbucking pickups are Gibson's modern take on classic ES tone. The neck pickup (Calibrated T-Type Rhythm) delivers warm, full tones perfect for jazz chords and smooth lead lines, while the bridge pickup (Calibrated T-Type Lead) adds clarity and bite for cutting through a mix. The hand-wired control assembly — two volume knobs, two tone knobs, and a three-way toggle switch — gives you straightforward, responsive control over your sound. You'll find plenty of tonal range here, from thick, creamy neck humbucker tones to snappy, articulate bridge sounds, with useful blended tones in the middle position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hardware is classic Gibson: an ABR-1 Tune-o-Matic bridge with nickel finish provides rock-solid intonation and sustain, paired with an aluminum stopbar tailpiece for maximum vibrational transfer. Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons deliver reliable tuning stability and add a touch of vintage elegance to the headstock. Everything on this guitar is designed to get out of your way and let you play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: 3-ply maple\/poplar\/maple semi-hollow construction with solid maple centerblock and spruce bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Satin nitrocellulose lacquer in Cherry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Set mahogany neck with hand-rolled Rounded C profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood with 12-inch radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, and acrylic dot inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 24.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: Graph Tech, 1.695 inches wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: Gibson Calibrated T-Type humbuckers (Rhythm in neck, Lead in bridge)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: Hand-wired assembly with 2 volume, 2 tone, and 3-way toggle switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: ABR-1 Tune-o-Matic with nickel finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTailpiece: Aluminum stopbar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Vintage Deluxe with Keystone buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Finish: Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gibson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e ES-335 Satin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e ES35S00WCNH1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
