This 2018 Gibson Memphis ES-335 Traditional in Antique Sunset Burst embodies the timeless design and sound of one of the most iconic guitars in history. Weighing in at 7 lbs. 15 oz., this semi-hollow body electric is a modern take on the classic 1958 model, offering the same beloved construction with some thoughtful updates for today’s players. Its 3-ply maple/poplar/maple body is paired with a maple center block and spruce bracing, delivering a blend of warmth, sustain, and resonance. The mahogany neck features a rosewood fretboard with ’60s-style small block inlays, low-profile frets, and rolled neck binding for added comfort and playability.
This ES-335 is equipped with premium hardware and electronics, including Grover Milk Bottle Rotomatic tuners with an 18:1 ratio for precise tuning, an ABR-1 bridge with titanium saddles for durability and sustain, and a locking stop bar tailpiece for enhanced resonance and easier string changes. The guitar is powered by a pair of Burstbucker humbuckers (1 in the neck and 2 in the bridge) that deliver vintage-inspired tones with exceptional clarity and dynamic range. Additional features include a Historic Truss Rod with Teflon coating for smooth adjustments and upgraded capacitors for reduced treble bleed when adjusting volume. This ES-335 is a perfect combination of classic aesthetics, modern enhancements, and tonal versatility.
