Comments:

 

The original Gibson ES-335, introduced in 1958, was the world's first thinline semi-hollow body electric guitar with a solid maple center block, a design intended to reduce feedback while retaining a warm, hollow-body tone and impressive sustain. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Gibson produced various iterations of the ES-335. The "ES-335 Dot” was reintroduced in the late 1980s and was a conscious return to the coveted, minimalist aesthetics of the late-1950s "dot neck" models. This guitar was made in 1995 at Gibson’s Nashville factory, during a period when Gibson USA instruments were highly regarded for their quality and consistency. These 1990s reissues featured a mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard, with many models from this era, especially those intended for the discerning Japanese market via distributor Yamano Gakki, featuring highly figured maple tops.
