This 2005 Gibson ES-335 in Ebony carries one of Gibson’s most enduring semi-hollow designs, pairing a laminated maple body with a center block construction that has remained a fixture in the company’s catalog since 1958. Finished in black with cream binding and nickel hardware, it presents a more understated look than many of the model’s traditional sunburst finishes. The combination of semi-hollow construction and humbucker pickups offers a broad tonal range that has made the ES-335 a favorite across generations of musicians.
By 2005, Gibson’s Memphis-built instruments were beginning to earn increased recognition for their attention to detail and faithful approach to the company’s classic designs. This example captures that era well, blending familiar ES styling with the feel and features that have kept the model in regular production for decades. The Ebony finish gives the guitar a distinct character within the ES family while highlighting the elegant lines of the double-cutaway body.
Includes OHSC.
