Never off the Gibson production line, the extraordinary ES-335 family has withstood the test of time for nearly 50 years. The instrument that started as an eye-popping anomaly of Gibson innovation has gone on to set a standard for form, function, and style. From gritty blues, to swinging jazz, to roaring rock 'n' roll and punk, the ES-335 can do it all.

The Gibson Les Paul Deluxe was originally released in 1969. It was basically a Standard Goldtop that was fitted with mini-humbuckers. The new pickups produced a nice, tight crunch that pleased many players of the period. The Who's Pete Townshend made use of them in several concerts and recordings. The guitar first appeared on the gibson price list in 1969 for $425 and proved to be a successful alternative to the full-sized humbucker equipped Les Pauls. |

The Epiphone Company was founded in 1873 by Anastasios Stathopoulos. It was purchased in 1957 by the Chicago Music Company, owners of the Gibson Guitar Corporation. Epiphone was Gibson's main rival in the archtop market and their quality archtops-the Emperor, Deluxe, Broadway and Triumph-rivaled (and some contend surpassed) those of Gibson. They also produced professional quality acoustics, basses and banjos. |

The Gibson ES-225 guitars were built in 1955, very similar to the 1960's ES-125TC and the ES-125TDC. The ES-225T had a different tailpiece (the strings looped over the bridge). It was a thinline archtop guitar with a single pointed cutaway, fully hollow bound body and neck, and came with 1 P-90 pickup placed half way between the neck and bridge. |

Travis Bean is an American luthier and machinist from California. In 1974, he partnered with Marc McElwee and Gary Kramer to start Travis Bean Guitars, which made high-end electric guitars and basses featuring machined aluminum necks, an unusual design that provided incredible clarity and sustain. The aluminum center section ran through the instrument body, with the pickups directly mounted to the aluminum. The majority of these instruments featured solid koa wood bodies and humbucker pickups. Models included the Artist, Standard, Wedge (rare), and TB500 (rare) with single coil pickups. |

In 1959, Fender introduced the Telecaster Custom and Esquire Custom, fancy versions of the originals with white binding that helped protect the edges from wear. These guitars had Jazzmaster-like rosewood fingerboards, which looked more traditional and wore better thanone-piece maple necks. Some early-'60s, pre-CBS Custom Telecasters had necks capped with maple fingerboards made in the same manner as the necks capped with rosewood. |
