A seriously impressive take on one of the most iconic semi-hollow designs ever made, this Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1962 ES-335 Reissue delivers vintage-correct looks, premium spec, and tone well beyond what most expect from the Epiphone name. 

Finished in classic Sixties Cherry, this example is essentially brand new, having seen less than six hours of careful home use. It presents in superb condition throughout, with no meaningful signs of wear.

Tone & Playability 

This is where these models have really earned their reputation. The combination of the lightweight laminated body, one-piece neck, and USA Custombuckers gives you that open, airy ES-335 voice — warm, articulate, and incredibly dynamic. 

Clean tones are rich and woody, with excellent note separation, while pushed sounds deliver that classic semi-hollow bite without losing clarity. The upgraded Faber hardware adds a touch more sustain and snap, making an already lively guitar feel even more responsive. 

 

Summary 

A high-spec, vintage-inspired ES-335 that comfortably punches above its weight. With premium electronics, excellent construction, and tasteful upgrades already in place, this is a fantastic opportunity to pick up a near-new example without the wait or the full retail price.
