Robbie Butkowski on a Gibson
Robbie Butkowski on a Gibson ES-335 Figured in Antique Natural, through a Keeley Hydra for the drip, into a Fender Tone Master Princeton Reverb, covered in a pile of honest microphones, for your tone-consuming pleasure. Take a deep dive below into a little known story about the guitar biz. Keep it serious folks.
The electric guitar revolution of the 1950s altered the music landscape indelibly. Or, conversely, the music of the 1950s reshaped electric guitar design for eternity. It's a chicken and egg situation; An ouroboros - the snake eating its own tail. Nevertheless, early electric guitars were evolutionary cousins of their acoustic counterparts, with designs reminiscent of flattops and archtops. However, the vast echoing chambers of these hollow-body guitars were prime real estate for feedback, particularly as amplifiers grew more potent.
The solid body guitar emerged as one antidote, but it wasn’t the only game in town. Gibson introduced the semi-hollow design with the ES-335 (ES stands for Electric Spanish), marrying airy chambers with solid blocks and bracing. This elegant creature has been a stalwart of the Gibson family since 1958 and represents a far more sophisticated alternative to an earlier, and somewhat less successful, approach to quelling feedback which called for filling archtop guitars with mayonnaise.
While this unorthodox method did have a tranquilizing effect on feedback, it turns out that mayonnaise in bulk is heavier than engineers imagined. At roughly .52 ounces per cubic inch, a 17” archtop could take on 35 pounds or more of that salty, velvety, egg-and-oil emulsion. 35 pounds of mayo being equally unkind to the back and the nose, and there you have it - the Gibson ES-335 for the win.
