What? Epiphone Inspired By Gibson ES-335 Where seen? PMTonline.co.uk Price? £488

If my ES-335 story has you hankering after something of a semi-solid nature, look no further than this lovely ES-335 from Epiphone. We’ve been bowled over by the build and tone of Epi instruments recently, and this Cherry Red beauty, with the much prettier ’60s Kalamazoo-style Epiphone headstock, is a very classy addition to the line. With a matched pair of Alnico Classic Pro humbuckers, rounded ‘C’ profile neck and laminated maple body with solid centre block, it’s a real steal for under £500. No matter what style you play, an ES-335 will seldom disappoint, so what are you waiting for? And Cherry Red surely is the colour!
