Epiphone ES-335 Left Handed Cherry w/bag

The Epiphone ES-335 Left Handed in Cherry brings one of the most influential electric guitar designs to left-handed players, combining classic semi-hollowbody construction with modern reliability and versatile electronics. Part of Epiphone's Inspired by Gibson Collection, this model features a five-ply maple/poplar body, solid maple center block, set mahogany neck, and a pair of Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers. Its traditional double-cutaway design, gloss Cherry finish, and nickel hardware capture the familiar appearance of the ES-335, while updated components make it a practical choice for everything from jazz and blues to country and rock.

The semi-hollowbody design, first introduced in 1958, combines the resonance of a hollowbody guitar with the sustain and feedback resistance of a solidbody instrument. The five-ply layered maple/poplar body features traditional f-holes and a solid maple center block that helps control unwanted feedback at higher volumes. This construction provides a warm, open response with clear note definition, making the ES-335 equally comfortable with clean chord work, expressive blues leads, and overdriven rock tones. Single-ply binding outlines the top and back, while the gloss Cherry finish highlights the guitar's classic proportions.

The glued-in mahogany neck features a comfortable Rounded C profile that provides a balanced feel without being excessively slim or substantial. Its bound rosewood fingerboard has a 12" radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, and pearloid small block inlays, combining traditional ES styling with comfortable modern playability. The 24.75" scale length provides familiar Gibson-style string tension, making bends, vibrato, and chord work feel natural. A Graph Tech nut works alongside Grover Rotomatic tuning machines with keystone buttons to support dependable tuning performance. The Kalamazoo-style headstock features mother-of-pearl Epiphone branding and a Gibson crown inlay.

A pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers delivers the broad tonal range associated with traditional ES-style guitars. The neck pickup provides a warm, rounded response suited to jazz chords, blues phrasing, and smooth lead playing, while the bridge pickup offers additional attack and definition for country, rock, and more aggressive styles. Each pickup has its own volume and tone controls, allowing precise adjustments to individual pickup levels and tonal balance. CTS potentiometers provide smooth, consistent control response, while the three-way toggle switch offers neck, bridge, and combined pickup selections.

The ES-335 Left Handed Cherry features a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece, providing adjustable intonation and a stable string anchor. Nickel pickup covers, black top hat knobs with silver inserts, and black plastic appointments complete its traditional appearance. With its resonant semi-hollow construction, comfortable Rounded C neck, and versatile humbucker electronics, this left-handed ES-335 offers the familiar sound and feel of a classic electric guitar design. A premium gig bag is included for convenient protection and transportation.
