The ES-335 is like the Fender Tele, you could get away with it being your only guitar for all time, able to play any genre and then some! These newer models come with updated T-Type humbuckers, more open than the '57 Classic's of the past. Easy to play, the ES-335 is a one stop shop for all of your sonic needs.
From Gibson Guitar’s Website: "The Gibson ES-335 DOT is the cornerstone of the Gibson ES line-up. From its inaugural appearance in 1958, the Gibson ES-335 set an unmatched standard. The pearloid dot inlay rosewood fingerboard on a hand-rolled Rounded "C" mahogany neck remind players where it all started. Gibson's Calibrated T-Type humbucking pickups are paired with our hand-wired control assembly. The result is that versatile Gibson ES tone that players have craved for over 60 years. Tuning stability and precise intonation are provided by the Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons, paired with light weight Aluminum ABR-1 bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece, anchored by steel thumb-wheels and tailpiece studs."
