A beautifully flamed version of the legendary ES-335, updated with a rosewood fretboard:
The Epiphone ES-335 Figured honors the legendary ES-335, the thin, semi-hollow archtop design that brought archtop class to the rock era. Part of the Inspired by Gibson Collection, the Epiphone ES-335 Figured takes everything you love about the ES-335 and elevates it to a new level of beauty and elegance.

First introduced in 1958, the ES-335 is considered by many players to be one of the most versatile guitar designs ever created. With its thinline, semi-hollow body and f-holes, it looks similar to traditional hollowbody archtop guitars. However, a solid maple centerblock within gives it the feedback resistance and sustain of a solidbody while retaining some of a hollowbody’s resonance, making it a “best of both worlds” design and highly flexible tonally.

The ES-335 Figured is crafted with a five-ply maple body with AAA maple veneer on top, sides, and back for exceptional beauty. As with a regular ES-335, the solid maple centerblock adds sustain while reducing feedback. Single-ply binding frames both the top and back.

The glued-in mahogany neck features a comfortable Rounded C profile that sits somewhere between a beefier 50s-style neck and a SlimTaper profile, making it just right for many players. It is topped with a rosewood fretboard featuring 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid small-block inlays.

The Kalamazoo-style headstock displays the Epiphone logo and Gibson crown, both inlaid in mother of pearl. The headstock is equipped with Vintage Deluxe tuners and a GraphTech nut, which work in tandem to ensure easy tune-ups and rock-solid stability once it’s there. A nickel-plated LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece deliver full action height and individual string intonation adjustability and contribute to the model’s excellent sustain.

A pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic PRO humbucker pickups gives the ES-335 Figured its highly versatile, rich, and powerful voice. Each is wired to individual volume and tone controls, with high-quality CTS potentiometers for reliable, consistent performance. A three-way pickup selector switch lets you use either pickup individually or run them together. You can get a wide range of tones out of this guitar with just a twist of a knob or flick of a switch. From blues to hard rock, jazz to country, there’s nothing you can’t do with an ES-335 Figured.

The ES-335 Figured is perfect for every player and every stage. It comes packaged in a premium gig bag for protection on the road or at home, and is ready to take your music—and your look—to the next level. Order today, and see why the ES-335 has been the choice of musical legends across genres and generations for over 60 years.
