Like the Les Paul, the ES-335 stands as one of Gibson's all-time most iconic models. The ES-335 is a semi-hollowbody guitar which means that it has a solid block of wood running through its center with hollow wings on either side. This construction style maintains the open tone of a hollowbody while helping to reduce feedback. The ES-335-12 was launched in 1965 as a 12-string version of the ES-335. The original run only lasted till 1971, but the ES-335-12 has been reissued since.
