Gibson 1995 ES-335 Dot Reissue Vintage Sunburst — £2,598.60

A 1995 ES-335 reissue offering the classic semi-hollow 335 character at an asking price below our historical like‑for‑like benchmark. Interesting if you want that ES-335 voice without paying full benchmark levels.

Why we selected it today

The ES-335 platform is widely sought for its mix of acoustic resonance and resistance to feedback. This listing is notable because the asking price of £2,598.60 sits below our historical like‑for‑like asking‑price benchmark, making it a Great Price on that basis. The pricing evidence helped too: AG currently rates the asking price as Great Price against its like-for-like comparison set.

The model’s pedigree

The ES-335 is a semi‑hollow electric with a central solid block that gives more sustain and less feedback than a fully hollow instrument. Era, finish, neck profile and factory specification strongly affect value for this family.

How the asking price compares

At £2,598.60, this sits against a current median asking price of £0 across 2 other closely matched listings. For now, the current market median remains the main AG benchmark at £2,975.19. The featured guitar is about 12.7% below that level. That earns AG’s Great Price rating: on the evidence available, it is notably keener than the centre of the current asking-price market. These are observed eBay asking prices, not confirmed sold prices.

What a buyer should check

Check binding, neck angle, centre‑block integrity and signs of headstock repair. Confirm that the label, serial number and hardware are consistent with the claimed year.
