Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

This is a blonde-finished reissue of the Gibson ES-335, the semi-hollow guitar Gibson introduced in 1958 that combined the sustain and feedback resistance of a solid body with the airier tone of a hollow archtop. Blonde, a natural or lightly tinted finish that shows the wood grain, was one of the rarer original ES-335 finishes compared with the more common sunburst. Warren Haynes, who has used ES-335-style semi-hollow guitars for their versatility across blues, rock and jam contexts, is associated with this example.

The Washburn E300 is a custom shop electric guitar featuring an offset double cutaway bound mahogany body with carved AAA flame maple top, set mahogany neck, 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with solar inlays, and 3-per-side Grover 18:1 tuners. The guitar includes two covered Seymour Duncan humbucker pickups, tune-o-matic bridge, stop tailpiece, and chrome hardware. The E300 delivers rich, full-bodied sound with expertly designed pickups and robust construction. Available in Amber, Blueburst, or Caramel Burst finishes, the E300 is handmade in small batches near Chicago with build quality comparable to PRS.
