The Epiphone ES-335 Cherry at a glance
The Semi Hollow model, which has been appreciated by guitarists for over six decades, finds its way into the authentically designed line-up of the traditional manufacturer with the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson ES-335 Cherry. A selection of classic woods, official shaping and high-quality components come together in the series to meet the high standards of the original. Two Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers provide a wide tonal range with warm and resonant semi-hollow character, while the mahogany neck in the authentic Rounded C neck profile gives pure ES feeling. Also in terms of Hardware the Epiphone ES-335 Cherry has a lot to offer with the resonant combination of LockTone bridge and stopbar as well as a saddle from the manufacturer Graph Tech.
Semi-Hollow body with solid center block.
The special body design of the ES-335 is clearly its trademark, both visually and sonically. Accordingly, the Inspired by Gibson ES-335 Cherry is composed of a body made of maple laminate, whose solid center block inside provides creamy Sustain and a lower feedback susceptibility. This special construction makes the ES-335 electric guitar extremely versatile and a reliable companion for both articulate clean sounds of jazz and hot overdrive sounds of Blues rock and rock. The ES-335 Cherry body is finished with a traditional cream binding on the edge of the top and back.
Alnico Classic PRO Humbucker
TwoEpiphone Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers in neck and bridge position are responsible for the sound transformation of the ES-335 Cherry and skillfully cover an enormous variety of tonal possibilities. Clearly oriented to the legendary PAF-Humbucker of the coveted Gibson models, the dual pickups deliver a defined mid-range at a moderate Output and skillfully incorporate the warm character of the semi-hollow design into the sound. Both pickups have separate volume and tone controls from the US electronics expert CTS.

Epiphone Inspired by Gibson ES-335 Lefthand Cherry
Was pleasantly surprised to see a certificate of inspection from the Music Store HQ in Germany. The guitar plays well, sounds great and looks the absolute business (compared to the Dot series). No complaints thus far
