ES-335 TRADITIONAL

Traditional Tone, Improved Performance

The 2018 Gibson ES-335 Traditional is not a revolution, it’s an evolution. Built on a

pedigree of performance and quality, this guitar takes things a step further. The ABR-1

bridge is enhanced with titanium saddles for increased clarity, denition, and sustain.

The control assembly is hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors and our MHS

humbucking pickups, resulting in that distinctive Gibson tone that players crave.

New timeless nishes include Antique Faded Cherry and Antique Ebony.
