In an [article from Vintage Guitar](http://www.vintageguitar.com/3743/john-frusciante/), John Frusciante talks about this same guitar. He says, "...I’m not sure what years the ES-175 and 335 are from. I don’t play those much; I bought them because [Steve Howe](https://equipboard.com/pros/steve-howe) played them, but they don’t really go with my style that well. I feel like Strats are an extension of me, and a Jaguar feels like the next closest thing to being an extension of me. Les Pauls and SGs seem like a further stretch. With a 175 or 335, I feel like a totally different person. I barely see a relationship to the way I play and the way those guitars are set up. You grow up developing a style on a Strat, and that’s what you play all the time." Later in the same interview he says, "Sometimes I go through a phase where I learn a lot of jazz, where my 175 or 335 will come in handy." Frusciante's ES-335 has a Bigsby vibrato.

Segall wrote and recorded much of Manipulator using a 1977 Gibson ES-335, a guitar he bought specifically for the project. "I'm kind of superstitious," he says, "In that I like to get a new guitar to write a new record. If there is a specific sound to it that you're not used to, it definitely affects your brain and your creativity, and makes you have a more open mind when writing new songs. This guitar has a coil-tap switch on it, which means you can switch the humbuckers to single coils, so there's like four different sounds you can get out of it."

The ES-335 Guitar was used in "Te Para Tres" Song By Soda Stereo

Miles used an ES 335 with Bigsby (might be someone elses). At some point his Walnut ES-335TDW had technical issues so maybe this was just a (rented in?) back up. There is also a photo from a GQ photoshoot of him with a red ES 335, however this had no dot inlays and no Bigsby.

There’s this [PRS McCarty](https://equipboard.com/items/prs-mccarty-electric-guitar) they sent me about seven years ago, and there’s something about that guitar that I always tend to go to when I’m at home. It just feels good in my hands. It’s just very comfortable. It sounds good." - [Myles Kennedy](http://guitarinternational.com/2011/01/27/myles-kennedy-talks-prs-guitars-alter-bridge-and-slash/).

I've got a really nice 335, and then I've got the Tom Petty Rickenbacker 12-string, which I always use. My favorite guitar is a '58 Strat – and the Tele, which is really an Esquire converted to a Tele. This Epiphone I've had for about three years is just fantastic. It's an old Epiphone – I don't even know what the number is. It's an archtop with one cutaway. Ahh – you can't beat it!"

Used on *The Fall*, as stated by Jones in this February 1, 2010 *Electronic Musician* interview. > This time I thought more about what I wanted sonically. On my other records, I would just go to the studio and play, mostly on acoustic instruments with an occasional electric guitar or Wurlitzer. But this time I wanted the sonic landscape to be a specific thing. I wanted heavier drum grooves, and to experiment with keyboards and have weirder sounds weaving through the background.

The reason why I started playing them in the first place was [Alex [Kapranos]](https://equipboard.com/pros/alex-kapranos) from Franz Ferdinand had one and I used it in the studio and just loved the sound of it. I know it may look a bit weird in our band because it’s not the kind of guitar you’d expect us to play, but the thing that I really like about the semi-acoustic is that, since I like to have a lot of gain on my amp, the guitar is always on the verge of feeding back. I think it adds a lot of tension to the sound, which is something that I love."

It’s a Fulton Webb 30 Watt, which has a ’60s Marshall channel and a tweed Deluxe channel. I flipped the half-power switch, turned it up loud, and that’s the sound it made."

"Gibson was kind enough to provide guitars, though sadly I have to give them back. I started playing these because Les Pauls, even if I don’t play much during a set, tend to mess with my neck. After a while, I feel like I’m getting corkscrewed! The 335s don’t make a huge difference, but I like how the fretboards fly like an SG."

It was great for [‘If You Go’](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmj8dTTSkoY), the real Britpoppy one, with the rockier chorus.” Pedal-wise, he keeps it reasonably simple. “I try not to use too much but when I joined Sticky Fingers I realised there was a lot of room for some really cool sounds. I’d be lost without my wah and delay. Other then that I try not to go overboard with pedals.”

I also have a 330 with a Maestro Vibrola on it, and an old 50s SG with that vibrato system, too – I just love the Maestro for recording, that really quick vibrato that you can do with it. There’s nothing else like it.” https://guitar.com/features/interviews/white-denim-james-petralli-side-effects/

"Sergio Vallin from the Latin band, Mana, is one of the most interesting guitar players we have had at our store. Check out Sergio's right hand work. You never know who might come in our store and this was a pleasant surprise." - From video description.

"Gibson came to rehearsal back in 1985 and presented me with that guitar before we left for the Parade tour. It’s been my jewel. I have a few other 335s from 1967 that are absolutely phenomenal, too, but the white one was made for me and I now play it consistently. I only play it with flatwounds and it’s just been a dream guitar. That guitar was used for the entire Parade tour and our last tour as a band. Actually, Prince called me about 6 months before he passed and goes, “God! Do you still have that white 335?” And indeed I do." However, the year of the rehearsal is unknown- in aforementioned interview, he mentions the year as 1985, but in the [Vintage Guitar interview](https://www.vintageguitar.com/34099/wendy-melvoin/), he mentions the year as 1982. However, in this interview it is further confirmed that he uses flatwound strings.

> Personally I reckon it's better to get the sound from the guitar directly rather than to try to create a guitar sound by some software and stuff like that.Obviously there are some effects a guitar cannot give you but for istance in a funky groove like Notorious the best sound is obtained by a 335

"It’s no coincidence that, on all the Flash albums, Banks exclusively played a Gibson ES-335. From his home in London, he spoke with us about Flash’s legacy, current goings-on and why he holds such affection for the Gibson hollow-body."

"I spent an entire year developing them. The benchmark was my ’59 ES-335, which has incredible PAFs. An almost magical upper harmonic blooms out of the note. We built a test guitar where we could change pickups in seconds, so you could really do an objective comparison. Then we took the necks of my two favorite PRS guitars—both of which were atypical due to the way the sander had finished them—and interpolated them for the neck shape. I think it’s the most vintage-inspired guitar that Paul makes."

"This is probably my favorite guitar," says Jason Wade, about his '66 sparkling burgundy ES-335, at 0:30 in this video.

This is part oif an interview by Tom Guerra to Matt: ... TG: Amps and guitars at this time? MGM: By that time, it was mostly Gibsons, a hollowbody 335 and 345. I played through a Fender Twin Reverb, and sometimes a Quad Reverb…that’s the one with 4 speakers in it. http://www.tomguerra.com/mattmurphy.htm

Fred Frith was using this guitar at the Stone in NYC playing with the Fred Frith Trio, Ikue Mori special guest.

According to [this interview (transcribed from the February 2000 issue of *Guitar Player* magazine)](http://www.geocities.ws/sg3ebfreak/guitar.html), Kevin utilized an ES-335 during the recording of Third Eye Blind's second album, *Blue*.

"But mostly I played Frank’s ’60s Gibson ES-335 through a Laboga Alligator 30—a Polish class A 30-watt 2x12 combo. I love it. It sounds a little like a Vox AC30, but way creamier."

His guitar tech says its Billys second main guitar and that they use the magnetic pickups with an acoustic pickup in the body of the guitar and they run both signals together in a stereo cable. They seperate them in the board where electric signal goes through some stompboxes and the acoustic goes to a DI.

"You know it. The Beatles were a big inspiration to us. Jojo wrote that with Matthew Gerrard out in Los Angeles. When we were trying to get it together, it was like, “Wow, it sounds like the Beatles and Queen had a baby.” There’s a bunch of guitars all over that song, man—little fills and stuff. I played a Gibson ES-335."

As can be seen in the source photograph Tim Smith is using the Gibson ES-335 Cherry Red Dot Inlay Electric Guitar on stage.

When I first joined Shinedown, I had a definitive vision of what I wanted to have on-stage and what I wanted to present. That vision was to have all Gibsons, all in black. I have an ES-335, Les Paul Custom, a ’57 reissue, a ’67 reissue Flying V, an Elvis Presley Signature Dove, the black SG GT, an Explorer and a black Firebird. When you see all those guitars together in a rack, it just has such a presence. - Nick Perri

"My workhorse guitar. It’s the first guitar I always plug in when I’m looking for a sound. I’ve played it for so many years that I know what I can get out of it most of the time. I’ve had this one for about eight years. The first Elbow album it’s on is *Leaders Of The Free World*, and it’s been on every subsequent album."

His 2000's black Gibson ES-335 is his primary guitar. In [Premier Guitar interview](http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/23057-kristofer-steen-reunited-relevantrefused?page=2), he discusses this guitar. On question why did Steen switch to ES-335, he answered. "I really enjoyed its sound—especially live. I recorded mainly with the Customs and other solidbody guitars, but when I feel like fighting, I’ll bust out the 335 onstage because that’s where it comes alive. It howls, screeches, barks, and gives me everything the Les Paul can and more sometimes. It has a full, thick, rich tone that is just a different flavor than the Customs. A lot of our music has really fast, dynamic tempo shifts and tight breaks, so the Les Paul is great for recording because you can get really quiet, really fast, whereas tracking with a 335 in our style of music causes things to sound sloppy or me to miss my cues because of its feedback. But when I play the 335 live, I really feel the extra noise and howling adds to the chaotic frenzy we produce onstage during a performance."

Doves sound is bases in 335 guitars

Hayward owned a cherry red 1963 model. “The first time I played that 335, I knew it was for me. I had one before I joined the Moodies, but had to sell it because I was broke. [The red 335] came from the factory exactly like that. When I first came to the U.S., I met the guys who made it in Kalamazoo.”

This item can be seen throughout the entire video.

In this 1963 appearance in Swedish TV (*Drop In*), Gerry Marsden plays a sunburst Gibson ES-335 with a Bigsby bridge. It is clearly seen from 0:30.

Posted by Scheuchzer on his Instagram photo, the 1971 Gibson ES-335 was mentioned as having, "new life" brought into it by the pickups being swapped out with PorterTron (Filter Sized) Humbuckers. Notably, this guitar also has a kill-switch installed on the bottom fin.

At exactly 0:58 he pulls out a 1980 ES-335. It has a broken varitone, which has been bypassed.

"I also have a Stratocaster with Lace Sensor pickups and a Blackmore mod that I use a lot, a Gibson ES-335, and a Santa Cruz acoustic that’s my main acoustic at home."

He has more ES-335 guitars. Here is explanation of some of them. 1. At 5:13, he shows his Gibson ES-335, sunburst. He mentions that this was reissue of ES-335 and that it was used on a new record. ("It's all over it.") This guitar is tuned to Open D (DADF#AD).

Gavurin is stated to have a 60's tobacco-sunburst Gibson ES-335 in an interview with Guitar Player Magazine (01-98). Used live on various occasions.

Referenced around 2:40.

"Oh, hell no. No way. That 335 belongs to my boss at Killer Vintage, Dave Hinson. He just loaned us that because we wanted something with a Bigsby on it. That's the first guitar you hear on the album: that's “Monday (Everytime I Turn Around),” I was nervous having it. I don't want to drop it. I don't want to get it stolen. It was freaking me out because that's an expensive guitar. Dave's really cool like that, but still I don't want to be the one responsible for breaking the 1960 ES-335 when I trip over the cable in the studio and friggin' knock it off of the stand. We used it quick: got in, got out."

This has been Nathan's main guitar since the band first started out.

http://www.gibson.com/News-Lifestyle/Features/en-us/legendary-guitars-clarence-708.aspx From a Gibson article: "Gatemouth Brown’s guitar choice similarly rejected the bounds of strict categorization. The jazz elements in his playing might have led him toward an ES-175, the electric blues an ES-335 or a Fender Stratocaster, the country a Gretsch or a Telecaster. Instead, Brown embraced one of the most radical and atypical guitar designs of all time: the Gibson Firebird. Wielding alternately with his fiddle, he bent the Firebird to boppin’ rhythm chops and lithe, wiry solos that ran the gamut from roadhouse blues jumps to fleet-fingered swing excursions, and – despite the fact that this was a guitar that always seemed most at home toward the gnarlier edges of alternative rock – made that odd, offset bird seem right at home with all of it."

http://www.icollector.com/Blue-s-Legend-Lowell-Fulson-s-1965-Gibson-ES-335_i5175166 <B>Blue's Legend Lowell Fulson's 1965 Gibson ES-335 Guitar</B></I> (1921-1999). Very few people can lay claim to a career spanning six full decades and including every type of blues imaginable. Very few guitar models have been around for 47 years and can still excite both new players and legendary veterans. Put the two together and you have an important, historical offering. Up for bids is the Gibson Cherry Red ES-335 (Serial #8656890) instrument that Lowell Fulson purchased new in 1965 and played until 1997. Can you imagine the blues licks played on this instrument? <BR><BR>Lowell Fulson was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma growing up on local area blues and Bob Wills' Western swing. He toured with Texas Alexander in the early 1940s, then served a stint in the Navy. After that, Fulson moved to Oakland, California, hooked up with Bob Geddins and the 78 RPMs started rolling out including the big hit "Three O'Clock Blues", later covered by B.B. King. In 1948, he switched over to Swing Time Records and the hits really began to flow - such as the immortal "Every Day I Have the Blues", "Blue Shadows", "Lonesome Christmas", and an instrumental, "Low Society Blues", played on by pianist Lloyd Glenn and alto saxist Earl Brown. From about 1950 on, Fulson toured extensively with band members inlcuding Ray Charles and Stanley Turrentine. He signed with Chess in 1954 and recorded the classic "Reconsider Baby", cut in Dallas under Stan Lewis's supervision with a sax section that included David "Fathead" Newman on tenor and Leroy Cooper on baritone. It became a massive hit and Elvis Presley covered it in 1960. Another label change (to Kent) brought him his biggest hit, "Tramp", which was written and recorded using this very guitar. Fulson continued to perform and record using this Gibson as his main guitar until poor health forced his retirement in 1997, the year he sold this guitar to the present owner. Included with this lot are photos of Lowell playing and signing this awesome instrument as well as his signed affidavit dated August 1997 certifying authenticity. Few players and few guitars can stay contemporary with style changes over such an extended period of time - here's an amazing combination that did just that.

"This ’69 335 was added to Geissman’s collection because he liked its unusual finish."

Videos and pictures show this as his primary guitar.

in this post dan shows off his guitar collection. in his collection is a gibson es 335

Played during later career

> I also have an early ‘80s 335. This was my first foray into the world that is Gibson and it’s been a steady friend for many a year. I love the slightly wider neck that allows me to reach stuff that my genetically fat fingers say otherwise. Our tech Robbie has done some very minor enhancements to it so that it feels super comfortable and solid as a rock. I don’t think the neck has moved for ten years.

Adam's vintage sunburst Gibson ES335 has been his main Bluetones guitar for the last 20 years.

From [2009 Guitarsite interview](http://www.guitarsite.com/news/features/interview_with_colin_macdonald_and_john-angus_macdonald_from_the_trews/): "I also have a cherry red ES-335 that I love"

This is the guitar Joel uses. I believe his is vintage although i am unaware of the year.

According to Immergluck's official website, he uses the 1990 Gibson ES-335.

¨We made our second album with Gil Norton - he suggested I could use a bit more girth in my tone, instead of always sticking to Strats. He asked if I´d ever tried a 335, and I had, but I´d never really thought about them. He said he had this mate who could lend us one and I used it throughout the sessions. Halfway through, he said we could use it for a video shoot, but to be careful as it belonged to his mate Joey. And we asked, ´Who´s Joey?´ It turns out it was Joey Santiago from The Pixies! That guitar inspired me to switch and this was the second 335 I bought. (Total Guitar, January 2017)¨

From the article of: http://www.vintagevinylnews.com/2015/04/statue-of-little-milton-installed-at.html "Statue depicts Milton embracing his Gibson ES-335 guitar while seated on a “gar bench”m so-called because of the legs in the shape of gar fish found in the Mississippi River, found in Memphis area parks and created by the Memphis-based National Metal Museum. Funding was provided by Milton’s friends and admirers at the North Atlantic Blues Festival, held annually in Rockland, Maine. The festival is headed by Paul Benjamin who was in attendance. Both he and Mrs. Pat Campbell, Milton’s widow, addressed the crowd, as did Blues Foundation President & CEO Jay Sieleman."

> Running into her board when we saw Wolfe play was a Gibson Memphis ES-335 – she’s recently been quite attached to her Epiphone Sheraton (one of our top picks for electric guitars under $1000), so we were wondering why the change. “I was afraid to bring mine because I’ve seen so many horror stories,” she says with a nervous laugh. Wolfe had flown over to Europe from the US. “Since it was just two shows – not worth the risk. But they let me borrow a Sheraton in Amsterdam and borrow a Memphis 335 here.”

What equipment are you using? Same white Stratocaster as always. A Tele. Just got a 1956 Les Paul TV Jnr from Stevie Klasson in Sweden. Love the sound of the P90 pickup. I've also got a reverse Firebird and a 335 which I play open tuned. Marshall amps then I switched to Fenders. A pair of Fender Vibro Kings sound good. Ten inch speakers. Not twelves. Find a good Fender amp that matches the guitar and off you go. I've got a Martin M38 acoustic I've played for 20 years which is a sweetheart; and a 12 string Guild acoustic which records like a dream.

Tony Peluso was the lead guitarist for the Carpenters, and while his fingers did the shrieking on this Richard and Karen Carpenter smash hit, it was actually the so-not-cool Richard who kicked up the noise, shouting at an initially timid Peluso to "GO! Just BURN!" The contrast between Peluso's angry roar — which starts at 1:22 in the song — and the syrupy strings and layered vocals is pure genius. Peluso plugged his Gibson ES-335 into an Electro-Harmonix Big Muff, and then right into the mixing console (no amp) to arguably help birth the dreaded power ballad.

Ross Millard didn't use only Fender Telecaster Custom for his days with Futureheads. Apparently, this Gibson ES-335 Dot appears also with Telecaster Custom. This guitar has removed pickguard and was used during Millard's days with Futureheads.

"Guitar/vocalist Joe King plays a Gibson Les Paul Gold Top, a Gibson ES-335, J45, L4A and a Fender Stratocaster. According to guitar tech Jonathan 'JP' Parker, his amp is a Divided By 13 FTR 37 and Fender Twin Reverb. He sings through a Shure Beta 58."

My favorite guitars during Last Light were my Gibson ES-335 and my Epiphone Casino,” Pond says. “Hollow bodies feel like an extension of acoustic guitars— like I’m evolving into loudness. Those particular guitars felt right for most of the songs. From the sound down to the way they played—it’s an incredible feeling for my hands to be that comfortable in the studio.”

Mentioned in [this page from Tofani's official website](http://www.paolotofani.com/trikanta/paolo_tofani_trikanta.html) > Nonostante il mio lavoro con "I Califfi", durante la settimana andavo a Roma, era molto bello suonare insieme a loro. Mi accorsi che il suono era cambiato, era diventato potente e distorto, la Gibson era adesso lo strumento giusto. Cambiai la mia Gretsch con una rossa Gibson 335. Anche questa chitarra era fantastica, il manico liscio e Humbucking pick-ups. Ho avuto diverse incarnazioni di questo modello, fino ad arrivare al model-lo Gibson che ho tenuto più a lungo, una bellissima Les Paul.
