Description

The Gibson Memphis ES-335 has been the heart of Gibson’s Electric-Spanish lineup since its introduction in 1958. It’s an undisputed classic, adored for its form, its function, and now its top. This 2019 model features a gorgeous 3-ply AAA figured maple/poplar/maple top and back under a range of gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finishes, hand-rolled solid rosewood fingerboard with pearloid small block inlay, quarter-sawn mahogany neck with rounded “C” profile, classic hardware set, and dual Memphis Historic Spec II humbucking pickups hand-wired with Memphis Tone Control Plus circuitry for historic tones with modern versatility. 


About Gibson Memphis:
Luthier Orville Gibson founded the Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Mfg. Co. Ltd. in Kalamazoo, MI in 1902. Its original aim was to make mandolins and mandolin-family instruments. Over the last 100-plus years, Gibson Brands, Inc., as it is now known, has since evolved into the world’s premier manufacturer of semi-hollow and hollow body electric guitars, as well as a celebrated portfolio of innovative solid-body and acoustic models.

If Beale Street could talk, it might tell you about Gibson Memphis. Producing all of Gibson’s semi-hollow and hollow body guitars, the Gibson Memphis facility is the heart of the blues.
