I have a 335 hollow body I bought about 1964.

btw, for the record, I have an ES-335, as well as a Les Paul (autographed by Les), a Strat, a Rickenbacker 620
The acoustics are Martin GPCPA1, Fender, Guild 12-string, Line6 Variax Acoustic-700, Takamine, and…um…something else. (not pictured is a Gibson Songwriter Acoustic)

I have just bought a 1981 gibson ES-335, it is without doubt a much, much better guitar than my 1969 fender stratocaster. The gibson honestly pisses in it’s face in all aspects.
You can play some beautiful jazz on the gibson, using that mellow, rich sounding bridge pick up. And you can wack some distortion on it, and it sounds so, so much thicker, better sounding guitar than the stratocaster.

A few years back I was given a 1968 ES-335 Gibson electric hollowbody. It was left to me after my grandfather passed away. My mother had told me that he never went cheap when it came to things like musical instruments. I’m just curious what this guitar would be worth. I was told by one guitar expert that it is in good condition, and that it is a rare find. If you could let me know that would be great. Thanks

I bought a satin finish es335 almost three years ago. It is probably my favorite guitar among my collection…which includes an all origianl 1964 gibson SG standard I bought for 125.00 in 1969. My ES produces bell-like tones and plays terrific. A very responsive and articulating instrument. I don’t mind if it won’t ever sound like anything other that what it is….a fine guitar… that’s exactly why I bought it.

Hey Cary,
My name’s Seth Lilley, I’m from Hawaii. I was just curious, I picked up a nice Gibson hollowbody, used, and there was some confusion at the store I bought it at as to whether the guitar was an ES-333 or an ES-335. Now, I’m not exactly a guitar expert, but I did some research and tried to figure it out on my own. What, exactly, is the difference between the ES-333 and the ES-335, and how do I figure it out?

The Es-335 is a cool guitar, however, I prefer the Les Paul for its versitaity the only downside being its weight, however if I could afford another guitar I would certainly consider it.

Now that’s a beautiful guitar! I want one!!

One of the best guitars I have every tried was a 345 (335 but stereo), and the thing played itself.

Best

Hi, great blog, and about a great guitar too. The 335 has got to be one of the coolest guitars ever built. I’ve got an ES335 page (over 4 pages) with some original catalog listings, prices etc – stop by and check it out

I have to say i’m mad about the late sixties and seventies walnut finished instruments – totally cool look
