Wiring Diagram Gibson Es 335

The Gibson ES-335 Guitar is one of the most iconic instruments in the history of rock music. The design, sound, and playability make it an essential part of any guitarist’s arsenal. But, before you can start playing, you need to know how to wire it up!

Understanding the wiring diagram for a Gibson ES-335 can seem intimidating at first, but it's really not as complex as it may appear. This diagram is broken down into sections, which make it easier to visualize and comprehend. At the top of the diagram are the two main wiring components: the pickups and the jack.

Each of the pickups is wired separately, meaning they have a unique set of connections. From the pickups, you'll find two color-coded wires that lead to a central 3-way switch. That switch controls which pickup will sound when you pick a note or strum a chord. From the 3-way switch, you'll see a lead to the tone control knob and another to the volume control knob. Finally, there's the output jack.

To understand the order of events when you plug in your guitar and turn on the power, it's useful to look at what happens from the pickups to the output jack. When you strum or pick a string, the signals from the pickups travel to the 3-way switch where the signals are routed to either the neck pickup, the bridge pickup, or both. From there, the signals then travel to the tone and volume control knobs where you can control the output level. Finally, the signals travel to the output jack where it is transferred to an amplifier or recording device.

With a little bit of off-hands study and practice, you'll have your ES-335 wired up and ready to rock in no time.
