Gibson ES-335 Satin - Satin Vintage Burst Reviews
The Gibson ES-335 Satin is the quintessential Gibson ES (Electric Spanish) guitar. The first “thinline” archtop of its kind, the historic ES-335 is considered the standard for semi-hollowbody guitars to this day. With impeccable sounds across its wide-ranging tonal palette, the ES-335 can be found in the hands of jazz, blues, and rock players all over the globe. For 2020, Gibson brings the ES-335 Satin to you with all the same exquisite craftsmanship and detailed appointments that made the original a smash hit when it was introduced in 1958. And as a central feature, it features a satisfyingly rounded C neck profile that harkens back to Gibson’s vaunted instruments of the late 1950s.

Awesome Guitar and Great Service by Mark Bruhn
The guitar arrived in great condition with no issues. Mark was very helpful as usual. I highly recommend Mark and Sweetwater. Thanks Mark.
Great 335 and Excellent Customer Service
Purchased this guitar a while ago as a Sweetwater Demo. This is everything you would want from a 335. Both the neck and bridge pickups are warm but clear, no mud at all. Excellent for Rock, Blues and Jazz. Fit and finish are first class. Guitar is light weight. This is a permanent guitar in my collection. Zac was my sales rep and I did have one issue with the guitar. The volume knob on the treble pickup would wobble some when turned. I did not put much thought into it for quite some time. After a while, the knob broke off and needed replacement. The other issue with the same volume pot was the taper was off. To roll back the volume you have to go back to 2 or 3 which is not like the neck pickup which is much more responsive. I called Zac recently and he immediately turned me over to customer support. The tech that helped me sent me a new factory Gibson volume pot and a complete set of knobs without any hassle. They even offered to pay for my Luthier to repair. And, I received the replacement parts over night shipping. Wow! Fantastic customer service. Love the guitar and service I received. Will be purchasing more gear from Sweetwater.
Awesome Guitar
I decided to replace my Les Paul with something lighter. After months of searching I decided to get an ES-335. I was leaning towards a 61 Custom, but saw a satin one with awesome wood grain. I couldn't be happier. I was worried I might not like the finish, but its super cool (and half the price of a custom). The neck and joints arent sanded super smooth and it gives the guitar a feel of being handmade by craftsmen instead of robots.
Damon and team from Sweetwater did a great job. The guitar is flawless and sounds great. Sorry Sweetwater, but I probably wont be buying another guitar anytime soon - this one is a keeper!
Gibson ES-335 Satin - Satin Vintage Burst
I ordered this guitar on Friday and received it on Saturday !! That's Sweetwater, their on their job. When I unboxed it Sunday it was tuned and ready to play. This is truly a nice guitar! Easy to play and sounds great. I also like the satin finish, no more sticky kneck. I need to thank Sweetwater for all their help. They have been so kind and helpful to me. It's really hard to find those qualities in business nowadays. Thank you Ed and all that work with you.
Get one of these!
This guitar is incredible. Purchased this a short while ago. It's not like I have a ton of money, so it meant a lot to me to finally be able to save up enough to grab this. Plays like a dream. Can get such a great range of sounds from an ES and this one has nothing to complain about. I love the satin finish, especially on the neck. Got lucky with a good neck carve. I never want to put it down when I'm playing it. There's something about the string tension and the warmth of the semi-hollow body that really puts me in a particular headspace when playing this thing. Big thanks for sales engineer Ed for making the purchase super easy and reliable.
A really nice playing 335!
The guitar sounds & plays great! I love the satin finish.
The action and intonation were spot on.
Thanks to Ben as always for everything! And Sweetwater!
