Gibson Memphis ES-335 Dot Reissue Custom Shop guitar with a Vintage Sunburst finish. It is a semi-hollow body electric guitar featuring a mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard, two '57 Classic humbucking pickups, and classic hardware. The "Dot" in the name refers to the pearloid dot inlays on the fretboard.

The 2008 Gibson ES-335 is a part of Gibson's iconic semi-hollow body electric guitar series. The ES-335 was first introduced in 1958, and by 2008, it had evolved into a modern classic, retaining the vintage appeal while incorporating some updates in terms of materials and construction methods. Here’s a breakdown of what you get with the 2008 model:

Key Features of the 2008 Gibson ES-335:

  • Body: Semi-hollow with a maple laminate top, back, and sides, with a center block for increased sustain and reduced feedback. This design allows for a warm, resonant tone that is a balance between the sustain of a solid body and the airy qualities of a hollow body.

  • Neck: Mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard. The 2008 model features a typical 22 frets, with trapezoid inlays.

  • Pickups: Typically equipped with Gibson’s Burstbucker pickups (often Burstbucker 1 & 2), which are known for their vintage-style PAF (Patent Applied For) tone. These pickups are a favorite for producing a balanced, classic tone that can go from creamy jazz to biting blues and rock tones.

  • Scale Length: 24.75 inches, which is typical for Gibson guitars and gives it a slightly warmer tone compared to Fender's longer scale length.

  • Bridge & Tailpiece: Tun-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece, standard for most Gibson models, providing great sustain and tuning stability.

  • Finish Options: The 2008 ES-335 was available in various finishes, including the classic Cherry Red and Sunburst options, with some limited-edition variations as well.

  • Neck Profile: The neck is usually a rounded '50s-style C-shape, which is quite comfortable for players who enjoy a fuller neck, but it’s not as chunky as some older ‘50s models.
