Gibson Custom ES-335 Dot Plaintop Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • A semi-hollowbody that is true to the original
  • Legendary tone from '57 Classic humbuckers
  • Gibson Custom's commitment to quality

A semi-hollowbody that is true to the original
The first ES-335s that rolled off the Gibson production line have truly achieved legendary status. Maybe it's the semi-hollowbody design, the sound of its two humbucking pickups or just the simple elegance of the pearloid dot inlays. Whatever it is, it's made the original 1950s ES-335s among the most sought-after guitars among collectors who are often happy to pay astronomical prices for instruments in good condition. Odds of even finding a dot neck 335 from the 1950s today are almost zero. The next best thing is to get your hands on the this Gibson Custom ES-335 Dot Plaintop. It has the looks, the sound and the star power of the real thing.

Legendary tone from '57 Classic humbuckers
Tonal excellence is yours when you plug the Gibson Custom ES-335 Dot Plaintop into your favorite tube amplifier. Loaded with a pair of '57 Classic humbucking pickups, each with their own volume and tone controls, you'll be able to dial in chiming country tones as easily as savagely distorted rock tones. The neck pickup gives you classic hollowbody-style tones for everything from smooth jazz to dirty blues. Flip to the bridge position, and you'll command sounds covering everything from bright and clean to raw and mean.

Gibson Custom's commitment to quality
Gibson's Custom Shop took extra care with every detail of the ES-335 Dot Plaintop. Every Gibson Custom guitar receives an ultra-precise Plek Pro setup, which optimizes the fretboard and nut for incredibly accurate intonation and a "just right" feel. And little touches like the quartersawn mahogany neck and the 17-degree headstock angle not only add to the amazing tone and feel, they remain true to the ES Series as well as Gibson's history.

Gibson Custom ES-335 Dot Plaintop Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • Captures the legendary sound of Gibson's ES-335
  • Semi-hollowbody design for enhanced harmonic richness
  • Dual '57 Classic humbucking pickups sound amazing
  • Individual tone and volume controls allow you to dial in virtually any type of tone, from mellow to metal
  • Plek Pro fretboard optimization ensures perfect action and intonation
