docr Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Could not find any information how the new ES335 modell is wired up, Gibson´s description just says "hand-wired with 500K potentiometers and orange drop capacitors". Is it "modern", "50s" or "60s" type wiring? My new ES335 shows a quite strong interaction between tone and volume control - it´s getting quieter when tone control is rolled of (and of course the tone is getting more mellow) which could be an indicator for 50s wiring? No idea, maybe there is an expert in the forum who can give me more information. It´s just for curiosity, it works fine for me and sounds good as it is.

timsouthcott Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Did you end up finding an answer to this one? I've noticed the same with my 2021 ES-335 and have been curious since the first day I played it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docr Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 No, did not get any reply or information. I did not ask Gibson directly up to now. Anyhow - my new ES335 is a very good guitar and I like it. I´m just curious how things work. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Not sure about 2021, but for about ten years, 335's have been mostly wired with what they called the Memphis Tone circuit, which is like sixties wiring, but with the capacitor between the wiper of the tone control to ground - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
