The Gibson ES-335 Dot 2018 Blues Burst is a 6-string electric guitar featuring a maple/poplar/maple body and maple neck, a rosewood fingerboard and a blue burst finish. This new ES-335 Dot for 2018 has been carefully crafted with a set of classic F holes, to provide a bright, precise tone with plenty of acoustic resonance. Built with a lightweight three-ply figured maple/poplar/maple hollow body, this ES-335 Dot features a rounded-"C" maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard for fluid hand flexibility, a comfortable fit and a warm tone with a natural feel.
Burstbucker pickups offer a high output for producing an incredible power and sonic punch for rock'n'roll classic tones. The medium output of the neck Burstbucker 2 pickup combines well with the high output of the bridge’s Burstbucker 3 pickup. Equipped with asymmetrical coils that are designed to be true to the original PAFs, these pickups supply a more open response than standard humbuckers for a truly vintage sound.
An ABR-1 bridge offers incredible string stability and a truly comfortable performance, holding onto the string tension whilst maximising the transfer of vibrations for an enhanced sustain and vintage tone. An authentic bone nut provides an enhanced tone and sustain, improving the vibration transfer between the string and tuning machines without dampening the tone.
