I’m interested in this Gibson electric guitar. But variations of this guitar have been around since 1958 and there are so many models out there: the ES-335 Pro, ES-335TD CRS and CRR models, the Trini Lopez model, the Dot Reissue model, the various “Memphis” models, etc. Anybody have any personal experience they’d like to share? I am an intermediate-to-advanced player who loves the blues. I have been playing a 1980’s vintage Strat for over 25 years. Thanks.

Hi charleydelta,
Love 335’s and semihollow’s in general….but they are very expensive, at least for me. So when Gibson came out with the ES-335 Studio, went to my favorite local guitar store with a good friend guitarrist and pulled 335’s from $2500-$4000, and the studio last, on fender blues amps of various types, and I have to say we found no substantial difference in tone and playability to account for the difference between about $1400 and $2500+. The Studio has no binding and other fanciness, but beautiful guitar….. I personally will sacrifice fanciness for tone, at a very reasonable price.
Did the research afterwards and havent seen a bad or questionable review, ordered a new one and had to wait 5 months, they are backordered due to demand by people like me that won’t spend 2500+ and always wanted a Gibson 335.
Have had it for a month now…..simply awesome….give it try…..
goodluck!

Check out Eastman guitars; their thin lines. I have one, and [em]almost [/em]love it. Almost, because the neck is too thin in profile for my taste. Other than that, a great guitar. There are plenty of demos on YouTube. The T386 is a good guitar at a good price.
Also check out Peerless guitars. They have some with chunkier necks, but a tad smaller scale.

I have a custom shop gibson cherry ES335 and its such a versatile player. There’s a range of tones to suit just all the types of music that I play blues, classic rock, funk, jazz. I have other gibsons such as a les paul and sg but the 335 is so playable. Like all gibsons they are pricey but you pay for quality with these iconic guitars.
If you can afford one then I would recommend it over anything else and probably like me you will never want to put it down. I just love it.
