Classic ES-335 character takes on a more striking visual dimension in the Epiphone ES-335 Figured, wrapping the legendary semi-hollow design in richly figured AAA maple veneer while preserving the warmth, resonance and versatility at the heart of the original. Part of the Inspired by Gibson Collection, it features a 5-ply maple body with a solid maple center block for focused sustain and improved feedback resistance. A set mahogany neck combines a comfortable Rounded C profile with a bound rosewood fingerboard and pearloid small-block inlays, while dual Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers and premium CTS potentiometers provide a broad range of expressive tones. Epiphone Deluxe tuners and LockTone hardware add dependable performance, while vibrant Blueberry Burst and Raspberry Tea Burst finishes showcase the depth and figuring of the maple veneer. Complete with an included premium gig bag, the ES-335 Figured gives the enduring semi-hollow formula an elevated visual presence.
Resonant Semi-Hollow Construction With Striking AAA Figured Maple Veneer
The ES-335 Figured builds on the model's defining semi-hollow architecture with a 5-ply maple body dressed in AAA figured maple veneer across the top, back and sides. Beneath the richly figured exterior, a solid maple center block runs through the body, adding sustain and helping control unwanted feedback while preserving the warmth and resonance associated with semi-hollow construction. Single-ply binding outlines the top and back for a clean, refined presentation, while the gloss finish highlights the natural depth and movement of the figured grain. Offered in Blueberry Burst and Raspberry Tea Burst, the ES-335 Figured gives the familiar double-cut silhouette a distinctive new visual character.
Rounded C Mahogany Neck Offers Comfortable, Familiar Playability
A glued-in mahogany neck carved to a Rounded C profile gives the ES-335 Figured a balanced feel that sits comfortably between fuller ’50s-style shapes and slimmer modern profiles. Its 24.75" scale provides a slightly relaxed string response, while the bound rosewood fingerboard combines a 12" radius with 22 medium-jumbo frets for smooth chord work and expressive bends. Pearloid small-block inlays add a refined visual touch across the fingerboard, complementing the figured body without overwhelming its classic aesthetic. A Graph Tech nut provides a consistent contact point for the strings and works with the tuning hardware to support dependable performance.
Alnico Classic PRO Humbuckers Deliver Warm, Versatile Tone
Dual Epiphone Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers give the ES-335 Figured a broad tonal palette that complements its resonant semi-hollow construction. The neck pickup offers warm, full-bodied sounds with plenty of detail, while the bridge pickup brings greater bite and definition for articulate rhythm work and expressive leads. A three-way toggle provides immediate access to either pickup or both together, with dedicated volume and tone controls for each pickup allowing precise adjustment and flexible blending in the middle position. Premium CTS potentiometers provide smooth, responsive control, giving players plenty of room to shape the guitar's voice directly from the instrument.
Vintage-Inspired Hardware Complements the Figured Presentation
Epiphone Vintage Deluxe tuning machines provide smooth adjustment at the Kalamazoo-style headstock, joined by a Graph Tech nut for dependable tuning performance. A nickel-plated LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge provides precise action and intonation adjustment, paired with a LockTone stopbar tailpiece for a secure string anchor and strong sustain. Mother-of-pearl Epiphone branding and a Gibson crown inlay add classic detail at the headstock, while nickel pickup covers and hardware complement the guitar's richly figured gloss finish. An included premium gig bag provides convenient protection for storage and transport.
A Timeless Semi-Hollow With Striking Visual Character
Introduced in 1958, the ES-335 provided the blueprint for the modern semi-hollow electric, using a solid center block to balance acoustic resonance with the sustain and control demanded by amplified playing. That remarkably versatile formula remains at the heart of the ES-335 Figured, presented here with AAA figured maple veneer and distinctive burst finishes that bring new visual depth to the familiar double-cut design. As part of the Inspired by Gibson Collection, it stays true to the classic construction and familiar feel of the original while adding Alnico Classic PRO pickups, CTS electronics and dependable modern hardware. The result is a faithful interpretation of an enduring classic that balances timeless semi-hollow tone with striking visual presence.
