Introduced in 1949 and still made today, Gibson’s ES-175 boasts the longest continuous production run in electric guitar history. Take the ES-175’s iconic body shape with its f-holes and Florentine cutaway, shrink it down, turn it into a thinline semi-hollowbody with a center block, and you have the Gibson Memphis ES-235, an instrument that can do it all. Perfect for jazz, blues, rock, and any type of fusion you can come up with; the ES-235 can sound warm and mellow during the verse and viciously shred the solo. Combining the best of solidbody and hollowbody designs, Gibson further enhanced this instrument’s masterful tonal dexterity by specifying a pair of their superb BurstBucker Pro humbucking pickups.

Comfort and playability were two of Gibson’s primary concerns when they were designing the 2019 ES-235. You’ll be delighted at how this guitar’s rounded-C neck profile comfortably fills your hand in just the right way. For your playing pleasure, the dark rosewood fingerboard is buffed to silky smoothness and the frets are dressed to perfection using a Plek Pro machine for optimized playability.
