What more can you say? The Gibson Memphis ES-335 Dot has been the heart of Gibson’s Electric-Spanish lineup since its introduction in 1958. It’s an undisputed classic, and it’s better than ever. The 2019 Satin model features three different gorgeous satin nitrocellulose lacquer finishes, a hand-rolled solid rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot inlay, quarter-sawn mahogany neck with rounded “C” profile, classic hardware set, and dual Memphis Historic Spec II humbucking pickups with Memphis Tone Control Plus wiring for historic tones with modern versatility.
About Gibson Memphis:
Luthier Orville Gibson founded the Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Mfg. Co. Ltd. in Kalamazoo, MI in 1902. Its original aim was to make mandolins and mandolin-family instruments. Over the last 100-plus years, Gibson Brands, Inc., as it is now known, has since evolved into the world’s premier manufacturer of semi-hollow and hollow body electric guitars, as well as a celebrated portfolio of innovative solid-body and acoustic models.
If Beale Street could talk, it might tell you about Gibson Memphis. Producing all of Gibson’s semi-hollow and hollow body guitars, the Gibson Memphis facility is the heart of the blues.
