Epiphone Inspired by Gibson ES-335 Figured, Raspberry Tea Burst Overview
With Epiphone’s “Inspired by Gibson” ES-335 owning a stunning archtop with a sound that punches far above its weight is more attainable than ever. With rock-solid tuning and intonation provided by the Graph Tech NuBone nut and high-quality Wilkinson tuners, a warm, juicy tone from the Alnico Classic Pro humbucking pickups, Epiphone’s innovative LockTone bridge and an eminently playable rounded C-shape neck - the “Inspired by Gibson” ES-335 feels and - most importantly - sounds like a premium instrument.
Boasting a beautifully resonant layered maple top/back/sides construction with a feedback busting, sustain boosting solid maple centre block - you know this ES-335 has quality exactly where it counts. From Larry Carlton to Cream-era Clapton, this is a versatile guitar that can deliver a legendary tone at a price that won’t break the bank.
You can choose from two classic finishes, including the iconic Cherry and a striking Vintage Sunburst.
For those who are looking for an extra touch of luxury, you can upgrade to one of the Figured variants that boast block inlays and a flame veneer maple top and back - which come in either a bold Blueberry Burst or regal Raspberry Tea Burst.
In order to continually improve the design, quality and performance of our products and instruments and to make use of the best materials at all times, Epiphone reserves the right to change specifications without notice.
