Epiphone ES-335 Cherry w/Case: Technical Review
The Epiphone ES-335 Cherry w/Case is a semi-hollow electric guitar with a maple body and top, a mahogany neck, and an Indian laurel fingerboard. Its listed design is described as semi-hollow and "Inspired by Gibson." The guitar is finished in red, identified more specifically as Cherry in the detailed specifications, and includes a fitted case. The listed price is $555. The product has been available since February 2022, and its item number is 538652.
No customer reviews are available for this product, so there is no user feedback to report on comfort, sound, setup, or long-term reliability. The assessment here is limited to the supplied specifications. Those details outline the guitar's construction and hardware, but they do not establish how a particular instrument will sound or feel in practice.
Body, neck, and playing dimensions
The guitar is identified as semi-hollow, not fully hollow. Its top, back, and sides are maple, while the neck is mahogany. The fingerboard is Indian laurel, and cream-colored binding is listed. Together, these specifications describe the principal materials and visual trim without indicating the guitar's exact internal construction or weight. No guitar weight is provided.
The neck has a rounded C profile, a 43 mm nut width, and 22 frets. Its 628 mm scale is equivalent to approximately 24.724 inches. The scale and nut width provide useful points of comparison for players checking a guitar against familiar measurements. The specification sheet does not state fret size, fingerboard radius, neck finish, or setup measurements, so those details cannot be evaluated here.
A Graph Tech NuBone nut is specified. The listed materials and neck shape give a practical overview, but they do not reveal individual differences between instruments. Players who need exact measurements or a particular setup should confirm those details with the seller before purchase.
Pickups, controls, and hardware
The ES-335 has two Alnico Classic Pro humbucking pickups. Its control layout consists of two volume knobs and two tone knobs. This provides separate volume and tone controls for the two pickups, although the supplied information does not specify the switching arrangement, potentiometer values, or wiring details. No tonal claims can be verified from the listed parts alone.
The bridge is an Epiphone LockTone Tune-O-Matic, paired with a LockTone stopbar tailpiece. The guitar has no tremolo. That fixed bridge-and-tailpiece arrangement is the relevant hardware configuration for players who specifically want a guitar without a tremolo system. Epiphone Deluxe tuning machines are also listed. The specifications do not include hardware finishes or adjustment instructions.
Included case and compatibility
A case is included, while a separate gig bag is not. The case is described as suitable for semi-hollow guitars and also for D'Angelico Premier DC models. Its interior is lined with black plush and has an additional fold-out compartment in the neck area. The listed internal dimensions are 110 x 44 x 10 cm, and the case weighs approximately 4.5 kg.
Those dimensions and compatibility notes are useful when checking storage and transport needs, but they do not guarantee a fit for every guitar with a semi-hollow body. Buyers should verify fit with the seller if the case will be used for another instrument. The stated case weight is also worth considering separately from the guitar, whose weight is not provided.
What the specifications establish
The supplied details establish a clear configuration: a Cherry-finished, maple-bodied semi-hollow guitar with a mahogany neck, Indian laurel fingerboard, two humbuckers, four individual volume and tone controls, and fixed bridge hardware. The 628 mm scale, 43 mm nut width, rounded C neck profile, and 22 frets offer concrete dimensions for comparison. The included case adds a defined storage option, with its own interior measurements and stated compatible models.
Important purchase details remain unspecified, including the guitar's weight, pickup switching layout, fingerboard radius, factory setup, and case exterior dimensions. Since there are no customer reviews to consult, this review cannot make claims about real-world playability, sound, build consistency, or durability. The Epiphone ES-335 Cherry w/Case can be assessed here as a semi-hollow guitar with a detailed listed hardware package and included case, with any remaining fit or setup questions best confirmed before ordering.
