Typical semi-acoustic construction
The Gibson ES-335 Satin Sunset Burst is based on Ted McCarty's classic semi-hollow construction and features a three-layer maple/poplar laminate body stabilized by a solid maplecenter block. In this way, the Gibson ES-335 Satin Sunset Burst combines the warm, woody sound of a hollow body with the feedback insensitivity of the electric guitar. The neck with the classic "Rounded C" profile offers a rich grip for grasping chords or fast licks without a mill.
Two Gibson Burstbucker pickups provide authentic vintage sounds.
Gibson Burstbucker for classic humbucker sounds
The electric tone conversion of the Gibson ES-335 Satin Sunset Burst is done by a Gibson Burstbucker 1 on the neck and a Gibson Burstbucker 2 on the bridge. The humbuckers carry the genes of the legendary PAF humbuckers of the golden 1950s and, thanks to Alnico II magnets, deliver a warm vintage sound that transports the sonorous resonance of the semi-acoustic electric guitar to the amplifier with natural dynamics. The proven circuitry with individual volume and tone controls allows different sound nuances to be called up.
