Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Finished in Vintage Ebony, this ES-335 combines a semi-hollow three-piece maple/poplar/maple body with f-holes and a solid center block. Its set mahogany neck has a Rounded C profile, paired with a rosewood fingerboard, 22 medium-jumbo frets and a 24.75-inch scale. Calibrated T-Top humbuckers feed a three-way selector, with separate volume and tone controls for each pickup. The fixed ABR-1 Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece round out a right-handed six-string designed for blues, rock and jazz playing.
