HomeTracks Guitar's month-long look at the 1962 ES-335 Reissue covers how the guitar holds up in use, and Dearly Guitarded's short compares three Epiphone ES-335 models.
Why it matters
This is Epiphone's recreation of the 1962 ES-335, using Gibson Custombucker humbuckers and a SlimTaper mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard, finished in '60s Cherry. It costs roughly a third of a USA Gibson ES-335, and is widely described as the value pick among semi-hollows. It is listed at $1,149 as of September 2026.
