Gibson 335-S
The Gibson 335-S was a solid-body version of their very popular Electric Spanish guitar, the ES-335. Although a very similar shape, and with identical controls, being a solid-body rather than semi-acoustic guitar gave this model a rather different sound.
The 335-S came in three varieties:
- 335-S Deluxe: Mahogany body and neck, bound ebony fingerboard, pearl inlaid headstock
- 335-S Custom: Mahogany body and neck, unbound rosewood fingerboard
- 335-S Standard: Maple body and neck, unbound rosewood fingerboard
All three versions were introduced in mid-1980; Custom and Standard ended production in 1981; the Deluxe in 1983.
In 2011 Gibson reissued the 335-S with specifications similar to the 335-S Standard, but with one tone control and Gibson Burstbucker pickups.
