Semihollow body with F-holes and centre block
To add its warm and full resonance to the sound of the ES-335 played at the amplifier, the model relies on a traditional semi-hollow body, which is composed of three-ply maple and poplar wood for ideal vibration characteristics.

Gibson Calibrated T-Type Humbucker
Two Gibson Calibrated T-Type humbuckers are responsible for the sound transformation of the ES-335 Dot.
