Gibson ES-335 Custom Color Series - Watermelon

Step into the spotlight with the Gibson ES-335 Custom Color Series in a juicy Watermelon finish! This isn't just a guitar; it's a legend draped in a seriously cool, eye-catching color that's sure to turn heads. From its roots in '58, the ES-335 has been the semi-hollow to beat, delivering those warm, resonant tones players crave while keeping nasty feedback at bay thanks to that solid maple centerblock.

The comfy rounded "C" mahogany neck feels just right in your hand, topped with a smooth rosewood fretboard featuring classic dot inlays. Whether you're chording or bending, the 12" radius and medium jumbo frets make it effortless. And the sound? Oh man, the sound! Those Calibrated T-Type humbuckers are pure vintage goodness with a little extra kick, wired up old-school style with 500k pots and Orange Drop caps for maximum tonal mojo. Anchored by an ABR-1 bridge and aluminum stop bar, you get sustain for days and rock-solid tuning with those Vintage Deluxe tuners. If you're looking for that iconic ES-335 versatility with a fresh, vibrant look, this Watermelon wonder is ready to be your new main squeeze!
