I want to enjoy the unique body resonance of a semi-hollow body. But I want to avoid the howling feedback of a full-hollow body, and I also want a sound with a solid core that doesn't get buried. Furthermore, considering the individual variations in 70s Gibsons, many people probably want to choose a reliable 335.
I completely understand that dilemma. Semi-hollows vary greatly in sound character due to construction, wood, and age, making it surprisingly difficult to find your "ideal one." Especially with 70s ES-335s, preferences diverge significantly based on how you evaluate the tightness and projection characteristic of maple necks.
This 1979 Gibson ES-335TD.It masterfully blends the clear attack and unburied high end produced by its strong maple neck with a sustain that leans more towards a solid-body guitar, despite being a semi-hollow. Actual playing reviews confirm its exceptional individual tone: "It stretches out pleasantly with just a light touch of distortion," "The maple neck has a texture that's not too stiff, but appropriately supple."
Furthermore, this instrument boasts highly appealing specifications that blend practicality with vintage character: an easy-to-handle stop tailpiece, simple operation with one toggle switch and two knobs, and the distinctive presence of a large 70s-style headstock. It delivers a well-balanced sound that will satisfy even those who previously avoided "maple-neck 335s."
We especially recommend this to players seeking a 335 that doesn't get buried in the mix when overdriven, those looking for a guitar versatile enough for blues and rock as well as jazz, fans of the commanding presence of 70s Gibson aesthetics, and musicians desiring a semi-hollow body with a strong core and tenacious sustain.
We encourage you to pick one up and experience firsthand the unparalleled projection and clarity produced by this semi-hollow body with its maple neck—the " ." It's a valuable vintage piece that will make you rediscover the charm of the 70s ES-335.
