This model captures the semi-hollow sound of the ES-335 in a compact, highly maneuverable design.

This model is produced at the Memphis factory, known for its semi-hollow-body guitar line. Its appeal lies in a design that faithfully inherits the rich resonance and airy quality of the ES-335, while enhancing playability and maneuverability with a slightly smaller body.

The construction combines a maple/poplar/maple laminated body with a center block, achieving both the fullness characteristic of hollow-body guitars and the stability of a solid-body instrument. It delivers a lustrous, three-dimensional tone when played clean, and a pleasantly sticky sound that retains its definition when driven.

The neck features an easy-to-play round profile, and the fingerboard is made of rosewood. Equipped with f57 Classic-style pickups, this classic configuration offers a versatile balance suitable for any genre. Traditional hardware that contributes to the tone, such as the ABR-1 bridge and aluminum tailpiece, is also a key feature.

Built in 2017, this instrument hails from the later period of the Memphis factory, a time known for consistent quality. Given its manufacturing background?which differs from current models?this is a must-see specimen for anyone considering an ES-series guitar.
