Finding a guitar that matches your creative drive means choosing an instrument that responds with clarity, control and character. Available as a Guitar Center Exclusive in a striking cherry finish, the Epiphone ES-335 Block semi-hollowbody electric guitar brings that balance into focus, pairing a laminated maple body and solid maple center block with Alnico Classic PRO pickups for articulate tone and focused sustain. Its slim taper C mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard with pearloid block inlays offer a fast, confident feel, while Grover Rotomatic tuners and LockTone hardware reinforce tuning stability. Built for players who want expressive dynamics without sacrificing precision, this model channels the classic ES-335 voice into a stage-ready, modern platform.
Semi-Hollow Construction With Center Block Stability
The ES-335's 5-ply laminated maple top, back and sides work in tandem with a solid maple center block to deliver warmth, sustain and controlled feedback resistance. Spruce contour bracing adds structural focus, tightening the low end while preserving high-frequency clarity. This semi-hollowbody design provides the resonance and airiness players expect from an ES-335, with the added stability needed for higher stage volumes and driven tones.
Alnico Classic PRO Pickups and CTS Electronics
Dual Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers deliver a balanced output with articulate mids and defined highs. Paired with CTS potentiometers, 2 Volume and 2 Tone controls and a 3-way toggle switch, the electronics offer direct access to tonal variation without overcomplication. Whether shifting between clean passages and overdriven leads or blending pickups for layered rhythm textures, the ES-335 Block responds consistently and predictably.
Slim Taper C Neck With Rosewood Fingerboard
The set mahogany neck features Epiphone’s slim taper C profile, offering a comfortable grip for both rhythm work and lead phrasing. A 12" radius rosewood fingerboard supports clean barre chords and smooth bends, while pearloid small block inlays provide clear visual reference across 22 frets. With a 24.75" scale length and Graph Tech nut, the setup balances string tension and articulation for a familiar, responsive feel.
LockTone Hardware and Premium Appointments
A LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece provide solid string coupling and reliable intonation. Nickel-plated hardware and Grover 18:1 Rotomatic tuners maintain tuning stability under frequent use. Cream single-ply binding frames the body and fingerboard, while the Gibson-style pickguard and black insert knobs reinforce the instrument’s classic visual identity.
Classic Feel With Modern Reliability
