Gibson ES-335 Semi-Hollow Body Electric Guitar
In 1958, Gibson created a guitar that combined solid body performance with hollow body tradition to bridge the gap between the two. That guitar was the Gibson ES-335 and is recognized today as one of the favorite hollow body guitar designs of all time. The ES-335 handles rock well, but where the Gibson Classic ES-335 Semi-Hollow Body Electric Guitar excels at is the awesome fat, authentic, true blues and R&B tones it is able to generate.

It lacks the versatility of a Strat, but if warm overtones and enchanting harmonics are what you're looking for, then this is a perfect choice for you. Comfortable and lightweight design make it easy for long gigs. Price makes it more suitable for intermediate to advanced players. You do not want to drop this much cash on a short-lived hobby. Features include curly maple/poplar/curly maple laminated maple body, maple center block with spruce contour blocks, 1960's style slim tapered one-piece mahogany neck, bound rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets and pearloid dot inlays, creme binding on top, back and fingerboard, two '57 Classic humbucker pickups, 3-way toggle, independent volume and tone knobs, and sealed Grover tuners.
