This thing is incredible. You can get some incredible versatile tones out of this thing. The guitar is a bit heavy but I prefer the weight. It's evenly balanced which is nice. The olive darb finish is terrific! I remember Gibson making a Memphis ES similar to this for 7 times the cost. This thing definitely gives any Gibson USA guitar a run for its money. I guess the only criticism is the case. I wish it was the tanish brown hardshell epiphone case. Two of my favorite bands I try to emulate are Thrice and Soundgarden and this instrument knocks it out of the park when matching their sound.Give zZounds your money now!

Love this guitar. It is stunning how good it looks, feels and plays. The fit and finish is perfect. Tone machine…these 57 Classics just sound amazing clean and dirty. It was setup really well out of the box so not too much to do except tune it and play. The neck has a great feel. It is as deep as my Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Standard but feels less chunky. The controls are silky smooth and roll off volume and tone with precision. Tuners are smooth and precise as well. Sounds amazing and has depth, clarity and sustain you wish for your guitar. This plays, feels and sounds like a much more expensive guitar. Love it.

Was thinking on a semi hollow wasn’t sure about the 335 dot it just wasn’t visually appealing to me then I saw the 355 and said yep I’ll try this one it’s like a 335 on steroids the pickups are an excellent choice for this guitar crystal clear and with the varitone the options are endless well constructed and fit and finish rival and maybe surpass the Gibsons … if you choose one you will Not be disappointed

Epiphone got this one right on. This es-355 came set up pretty good, action was right on, fretboard was nicely done. No buzzing anywhere. Only a minor tweaking on intonation. The Gibson pickups sound fantastic. She’s just under 10 lbs. and I’ve played a few es-335’s and I like this one the best. The Bigsby works very well once you learn to use it.Great value for the money !!

I once owned up to at least 80 guitars in my career. All had a unique sound and a purpose to be used I told myself. But now years past my vanity of pride in guitars, I own only 4. This ES-355 is one of them for very good reasons. So let me tell you....this guitar will be a future "good luck finding one!" guitar!. The mad range of the wide spectrum of sound from the settings on the guitar and the clarity from the pups make you want to play more and more.
