The Gibson ES-335 Satin 2018 Walnut produced by the Gibson Memphis division offers a grandiose Look and pleasant feel with its silky matt finish. At the same time Gibson Burstbucker pickups in connection with the classical constructed Semi-Hollow body provide authentic blues, Rock - and fusion sounds. As Hardware on the ES-335 Satin with Grover mechanics and Gibson ABR -1 bridge classic parts of the original are used.
The Gibson ES-335 Satin 2018 Walnut is based on the classic Ted McCarty Semi-Hollow design and features a three-layer maple/poplar laminate body stabilized by a solid maple center block. In this way, the Gibson ES-335 Satin combines the warm, woody sound of a hollow body with the feedback insensitivity of an electric guitar. The neck with the classic " Rounded C" profile offers a full grip for gripping chords or fast licks without a mill.
The electric sound conversion of the Gibson ES-335 Satin 2018 Walnut is done by a Gibson Burstbucker 1 at the neck and a Gibson Burstbucker 2 at the bridge. The open Humbucker ones carry the genes of the legendary PAF Humbucker of the golden 1950s and, thanks to Alnico II magnets, deliver a warm Vintage sound that transports the sonorous resonance of the semi-acoustic electric guitar with natural dynamics to the amplifier. The proven circuit with individual volume and tone controls can be used to recall different sound nuances.
