Semi-Hollow Construction
The 5-ply maple body has a solid maple tone block running through the center, keeping feedback at bay. Semi-hollow construction makes it easy to sling this guitar on the shouldersit’s lightweight and exceedingly comfortable
Mahogany Neck
The mahogany neck has a rounded C shape, a thinner profile than the first ES-335 models from the 50s. It’s a faster feel, too. Epiphone uses Indian laurel for the fretboard, retaining the density and durability of rosewood. The “open book” headstock design looks more Gibson than ever before, but still gives this Epiphone its own identity.
High-Output Humbuckers
The Trad Pro is loaded with a pair of Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers. Alnico V magnets provide more output, making this ES-335 fit into more modern contexts. Each coil of the pickup has a matched number of windings, producing a more focused sound with clear highs, tight lows and plenty of bite. Push/pull knobs split the humbuckers for single-coil sounds.
Fail-Safe Hardware
The Epiphone ES-335 Traditional Pro updates the traditional Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece with its LockTone system. This prevents both from falling off during string changes, while still maintaining a period-correct look. Deluxe tuners keep up the vintage vibe.
Other specs include single-ply body and fretboard binding, Graph Tech nut and top hat knobs. A hardshell case or EpiLite gig bag is available separately.
