Why it matters
Announced in May 2026, the ES-335 50s moves the model into Gibson's core line with era-specific pickups, neck shapes and plastics. The body is three-ply maple/poplar/maple with a solid maple centreblock, the neck is a Rounded C profile, and the pickups are Custombuckers with Alnico 3 magnets. It is listed at $3,499 as of September 2026, and a matching '60s version with a SlimTaper neck and T-Type humbuckers is offered at the same price.
