The marketing expert Epi Stathopoulo gave each instrument a proper name such as “Broadway” instead of a straightforward model number in order to ensure that these high-quality instruments get the image they deserve right from the beginning. Epi invented the name “Masterbilt Series” for this group of guitars in order to attract attention and to set himself apart from his competitors, who were more focussed on tradition. Thinline Epiphone perfectly accentuate their strengths with the Thinline Series, which includes a wide range of models with different features in all price ranges. The models “John Lennon Casino” and John Lee Hooker” are the most popular Thinline Series Models. When Gibson launched the ES-335 in 1958, it was huge success. It´s a blend of a hollowbody and a solidbody guitar and that´s its hallmark. The body of the ES-335 has a solid centre sustain block, while the resonance body is limited to two hollow side wings. The advantage of this design should be obvious: The risk of feedback in connection with high volumes is reduced significantly. The ES-335 has a double cutaway design, which was also known as “Mickey Mouse Ears”, to improve playability. Today the ES-335 has established as a true classic and Epiphone have a range of interesting models to offer.
