This Epiphone Shinichi Ubukata ES-355 Olive is a seriously well-equipped semi-hollow. It’s got that classic ES-335 vibe, but with a few premium touches – the ebony board is a huge win.

Frequently Asked Questions

Maple bodies are more prone to feedback; careful amp placement and potentially some strategic EQ adjustments are needed at higher volumes.
