Gibson ES-335 Semi-Hollow Body Electric Guitar

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.
