The Gibson ES series is arguably the best known semi-hollow range of guitars on earth. With a big, bold body-shape, f-holes in the top and a pair of meaty humbuckers or P90s on hand to provide a striking tone and great sustain, this guitar has been appropriated by rock, indie, blues, country, funk and alt-rock aficionados the world over.
Players as diverse as BB King, Eric Johnson, Dave Grohl and Billy Corgan have wielded these guitars on stages across the world, and the chambered instruments have lent their massive, rich sound to many an iconic album.
The range encompasses the likes of the 135, 333 and 335, each subtly different in body design and pick-up choices, but a general attention to fine detail and build quality tie them together professionally – with necks and fingerboard that feel grounded and anchored and bodies that are large to hold but nonetheless comfortable to play, there's little to fault on the Gibson ES series – the only question is which one from our large range you'll be adding to your guitar collection.
