Gibson ES-335 Custom Color Spearmint 8.0 #222350097

The Gibson ES-335 Custom Color – Spearmint is a striking and versatile semi-hollowbody guitar that combines classic ES-335 design with a bold, modern aesthetic. Its Spearmint gloss nitrocellulose finish immediately sets it apart visually, while its traditional construction ensures the iconic warm, resonant tone Gibson’s ES-335 series is known for. This guitar is ideal for players seeking the expressive, nuanced voice of a semi-hollowbody paired with contemporary flair.

The body follows the classic ES-335 shape, crafted from 3-ply maple/poplar/maple for the top, back, and sides, delivering a perfect blend of sustain, clarity, and dynamic response. A solid maple centerblock reduces feedback and enhances focus, while spruce bracing ensures even resonance and tonal balance. Single-ply cream binding on the top, back, and fretboard adds a touch of elegance, complementing the vivid Spearmint finish and giving the guitar a polished, vintage-inspired look.

The neck, made of mahogany and set with a glued-in joint, features a rounded “C” profile that balances comfort and playability for a wide range of techniques. With a 24.75" scale length, 22 medium-jumbo frets, and a Graph Tech nut measuring 1.695", the ES-335 Custom Color offers smooth action and precise intonation. The rosewood fingerboard, with a 12" radius and acrylic dot inlays, provides a familiar, comfortable feel while enhancing visual appeal.

Tonally, this ES-335 features a pair of Calibrated T-Type pickups—a rhythm pickup in the neck and a lead pickup in the bridge—designed to capture the semi-hollowbody’s rich, open midrange, clear highs, and dynamic warmth. The electronics are wired with hand-wired 500K potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors, and controlled via two volume and two tone knobs, providing smooth, responsive tonal shaping. A 3-way toggle switch allows for intuitive pickup selection, while a standard 1/4" output jack ensures reliable connectivity.

Hardware is both functional and period-correct, including a nickel ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, aluminum stop bar tailpiece, and Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons, providing stability, sustain, and classic Gibson aesthetics. Additional details like black top hat knobs with silver reflectors, a cream switch tip, and a 5-ply black pickguard round out the guitar’s vintage-modern style.

Strung with .010–.046 gauge strings and housed in a hardshell case, the Gibson ES-335 Custom Color – Spearmint also includes a Gibson accessory kit, making it performance-ready right out of the box. With its blend of classic semi-hollow tone, comfortable playability, and striking custom color, this ES-335 is equally at home on stage, in the studio, or as a standout piece in any collection.
