Gibson ES-235 Gloss - Vintage Sunburst
Combining the look of a classic Gibson jazz box with some rock-and-roll attitude, the ES-235 semi-hollowbody is ready for the spotlight. With a Les Paul style neck on a smaller, thinline, maple-poplar-maple body with a maple center block that enhances sustain while resisting feedback, it's a great choice for a wide range of genres. The BurstBucker Pro pickups go from PAF warmth to a more modern attack, while the simple lines and unadorned looks keep the focus on your playing.
