The Gibson ES-335 is the world's first commercial semi-hollowbody , sometimes known as . Released by the  as part of its  series , it is neither fully hollow nor fully solid; instead, a solid maple wood block runs through the center of its body. The side "wings" formed by the two "cutaways" into its upper bouts are hollow, and the top has two -style  over the hollow chambers.

This ES-335 was manufactured at the Kalamazoo, MI - USA Gibson facility.
Before 1952, Gibson produced only hollow-body guitars, which are prone to feedback when amplified loudly. That year saw the introduction of their first solid-body, the , a significantly different instrument from 's early electric guitar experiment, "The Log", which consisted of a center block with detachable chambers on both sides, a neck, hardware, and a pickup attached. By 1958 Gibson was making a few solid-body models which had much lower feedback and better sustain but lacked the darker, warmer tone and unamplified volume of hollow bodies.
The ES-335 was an attempt to find a middle ground: a warmer tone than a solid body produced with almost as little feedback. Though semi-hollow-bodies like the ES-335 are essentially a compromise of earlier designs, they are for this reason extremely flexible, as evidenced by the ES-335's popularity in a wide range of music and it quickly became a best-seller, and has been in continuous production since 1958.
The first major update came in mid 1962, with the most visible change being the : early models had dots (hence "dot neck"), later models had blocks.

MONO M8

Classic Dual Semi-Hollow/Electric Guitar Case, Black

Now it is finally possible to carry one semi-hollow and one solid body electric guitar at the same time, both fully protected with MONO’s patented Headlock® neck suspension system. A first of its kind. Go play.

360° PROTECTION

DROP-PROOF

The patented Headlock® design provides a level of protection worthy of the finest instruments. Your guitars quickly strap in and remain stabilized during transport. The headstocks of both guitars are suspended inside the case, saving them from both side and rear impacts.

STRAP PIN PROTECTION

Hi-density foam bumpers divert vertical impacts out and around the case, away from the strap pin.

Integral panels deliver hardcase protection at a fraction of the weight. The reinforced outer shell of the M80 hybrid case absorbs and deflects hard impact away from the vulnerable areas of the guitar.

SMART STORAGE

ONE OR TWO GUITARS

The patented “zig zag” design of the Classic Dual Semi-Hollow/Electric Guitar Case creates a completely separate case for each guitar. Load your archtop or semi-hollow guitar in first. The electric guitar slides into its own slim, Sleeve-like compartment. Both are protected with our Headlock® suspension system and strap pin bumpers. Both are always easily accessible and the case can be used with one or two guitars.

TICK-READY

Most MONO cases come equipped with the triple D-ring attachments required for the optional Classic Tick Accessory Case, the modular tool case designed to extend the storage capacity of your guitar case. The Classic Tick Accessory Case seamlessly and securely attaches to the case as shown. Some older cases may not be Tick-ready - please contact support if you have questions about the Tick-compatibility of your MONO case.

PLUG AND PLAY

Everything in its place. Specialized storage compartments put your gear right where you need it.

The hidden upper pocket keeps your wallet, keys, and cell concealed. Pen slots double as tool storage. Business card storage and a durable key clip are also included.
