This is a 2023 Gibson ES-335 Dot in Sixties Cherry, offered for sale in mint condition. Part of a large private collection, the guitar has seen only a few hours of careful use and presents as close to new. It has received a full workshop inspection, benefits from an excellent professional setup and is an absolute pleasure to play.

The modern ES-335 remains one of Gibson's most versatile and enduring designs, featuring a three-ply maple/poplar/maple semi-hollow body with a solid maple centre block, a mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard. This 2023 model is fitted with a pair of Gibson Calibrated T-Type humbuckers, hand-wired controls and an ABR-1 bridge, faithfully capturing the character of the late-1950s and early-1960s originals.

Tonally, the ES-335 occupies a unique space between a solid body and a hollow body guitar. The T-Type pickups deliver warm, articulate cleans, rich harmonic detail and exceptional note separation, while the centre block provides impressive sustain and feedback resistance when pushed into overdrive. From jazz and blues to classic rock and contemporary styles, few guitars offer such a broad tonal palette.

Widely regarded as one of the finest all-round electric guitars ever produced, the ES-335 remains a first choice for discerning players seeking premium craftsmanship, timeless styling and exceptional musical versatility.

A superb, near-new example that is ready for its next custodian.
