Semi-hollow (50% solid-50% hollow) [[electric guitar]], built and manufactured by American [[instrument]] maker [[gibson_brands_inc|Gibson]] since 1958 as part of its ES ([i]Electric Spanish[/i]) series. Largely credited to be the world's first commercialized semi-hollow electric guitar, the ES-335 consists of a solid wood block running through the center of the [[guitar]], with the sides being hollow. It went on to become one of the most popular guitars for genres such as Alternative Rock, Jazz, Blues and R&B among similar others with some of its most famous players being the late B.B. King and [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]]/Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl.

Visual traits mainly include a round circular double-cutaway body, F-holes, stopbar bridge, four control knobs and the input jack being placed on top of the body.
