Here for sale we have an Epiphone Inspired by Gibson 1962 Reissue ES-335 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar in Vintage Burst finish. Made in China in 2026, this guitar consists of a 5-ply Layered Maple/Poplar body, a 1-piece Mahogany neck, and a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, a Gibson historic reissue aluminium Stop Bar, Epiphone Deluxe tuners, and a set of Gibson Custombucker Humbucking pickups. These pickups are wired to traditional 335 wiring. 

The Mahogany neck plays well, with the 1960s SlimTaper ‘C’ profile feeling substantial yet comfortable in the hand and offering easy fretting in any register. The Gloss finish to the rear feels pleasant to the touch and aids easy transitions up and down the neck, whilst the 12” Rosewood fingerboard and Medium Jumbo frets provide a robust playing experience that feels rock solid under the fingers, enhancing string bending and vibrato techniques. The semi-hollow construction makes this guitar easy on the shoulders on long gigs, and the smooth lines of the body ensure that this is a comfortable guitar to play in either standing or seated positions. 

Amplified, the pair of Gibson Custombucker humbuckers work in conjunction with the semi-hollow construction to deliver the full and thick sounds that we all expect from such pickups. The guitar resonates beautifully, filling out the sound with a deep and rich character. The neck pickup is warm and round, and can handle plenty of gain meaning you can achieve anything from jazzy lines through to soaring rock and blues solo tones. The bridge pickup is hotter, driving the front end of an amp with ease and producing the bright, biting tones that cut right through the mix to put your playing front and centre. The traditional dual humbucker control layout feels very responsive, allowing you to explore a wide tonal palette right on the instrument.
