Excerpt: The Gibson 335-S was a solidbody version of their very popular Electric Spanish guitar, the ES-335 . Although a very similar shape (though a little smaller), and with identical controls, being a solidbody rather than semi-acoustic guitar gave this model a rather different sound.The 335-S came in three varieties:335-S Deluxe : Mahogany body and neck, bound ebony fingerboard , pearl inlaid headstock335-S Custom : Mahogany body and neck, unbound rosewood fingerboard335-S Standard : Maple body and neck, unbound rosewood fingerboardAll models were fitted with two humbucking pickups, and two volume and two tone controls.

Gibson SG Classic Electric Guitar with P-90 Pickups, Heritage Cherry

• The neck has gone from wide and thin, to thick and chunky, to the more tapered shape demanded by todays modern players
• There has been a gradual change in pickup design, and subsequently sound as well.

Inspired by the 1960s SG Special, the Gibson SG Classic Electric Guitar with P-90 Pickups re-creates the look and sound of the most influential guitar in both Britain and the U.S. during the psychedelic era. It has the original all-mahogany body, dual P-90 pickups, and a bound rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays.A Little SG History In 1961, the Les Paul was redesigned with a thinner body and 2 sharp cutaway horns that making the upper frets more accessible while lowering production costs. The new guitar was popular, but Les Paul the guitarist did not like it and asked to have his name removed. Gibson renamed the model the “SG” which was short for “solid guitar”. Though Les Paul’s name was officially removed from the model in 1961, the plastic Les Paul nameplates (positioned between the rhythm pickup and fingerboard) were in abundance in the Gibson factory and SG models having these nameplates were built and sold by Gibson up to end of 1963. SGs have been the choice of world-class artists such as Pete Townsend, Eric Clapton, Tony Iommi, and Angus Young.
