Peter Frampton plays a Gibson ES-335 guitar. "This just happens to be one of those, you know, you can have three of the same [guitar] lined up, same year, same month, whatever, there will just be one that's streaks above the others," he said at (4:56).

It could be a 1964 Gibson ES-335, according to Guitar World.

But on numbers I’ve done since, I have the ’64 ES-335 Gibson, the Freddie King year, which is an incredible guitar. “If I could only have one guitar other than the Custom, that would be it. A 335 just about covers every aspect of what a guitarist does. It’s not a Fender, but I don’t use Fenders that much – I’m a humbucker guy.”
