Gibson ES-335TDC - USA 2008
Pickup currently unavailable
Here is a 2008 Gibson ES-335TDC, a superb Memphis Custom Shop example of one of Gibson’s most iconic and versatile semi-hollow designs. Since its introduction in 1958, the ES-335 has been a benchmark for players seeking the perfect balance of resonance, sustain, and feedback control, and this example continues that legacy with classic build quality and tone.
This example features a laminated maple semi-hollow body with a solid maple centre block, delivering the signature ES-335 combination of airy resonance and focused sustain. Weighing just 3.86kg (8.5lb), it is lightweight and comfortable, making it an excellent choice for long studio sessions or live performance. The classic cherry finish and subtly aged binding give it a warm, vintage-inspired appearance.
The mahogany neck has a comfortable medium-C profile with a 42.47mm nut width, offering a familiar and stable feel that works well for both rhythm and lead playing. The fingerboard widens smoothly up the neck, providing plenty of room for expressive bends and clean chord voicings. It is set up with low, responsive action, making it smooth and effortless to play across the entire range.
Electronics are fully original, featuring a pair of Gibson ’57 Classic humbuckers paired with Grover Rotomatic tuners and nickel hardware. The pickups deliver a wide tonal palette, from warm, woody cleans through to articulate, punchy overdrive, making it suitable for jazz, blues, rock, and beyond.
Condition is very good overall, showing honest player wear including light surface marks, pickguard swirling, and a small abrasion on the back of the neck near the 4th fret that does not affect playability. It comes complete with its original Gibson Custom hard case and Certificate of Authenticity. A resonant, highly playable ES-335 with classic Memphis-era character.
