Detail 01
Maple centerblock with spruce bracing
Forms part of the semi-hollow body construction alongside the three-ply maple/poplar/maple top, back, and sides.

Independent shopping perspective
Built around the ES-335 semi-hollow layout, this Satin Cherry model combines a maple/poplar laminate body, maple centerblock, and spruce bracing with Calibrated T-Type humbuckers. The Rounded C mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, hand-rolled edges, and 22 medium-jumbo frets give the playing surface a deliberately familiar, broken-in character. Independent volume and tone controls, plus the three-way toggle, provide hands-on sound shaping from the guitar. A satin nitro finish and nickel hardware keep the appearance understated and classic.
