An upscale, and broadly celebrated iteration of the classic 335 platform, the ES-166 features a nitro lacquer finish, maple body with maple center block, and a mahogany neck. Replicating the introductory specs of the 335, the guitar features a long guard design (with the pickguard extending past the ABR-1 bridge) and the distinctive rounded "Mickey Mouse Ear" shaped double cutaways on the figured maple body. Made in Japan and rarely seen outside its country of origin, this ES-166 has a balanced, rich acoustic voice that translates well through the PAF-style stock humbuckers. The snappy articulation of the maple body and the airy qualities of the semi-hollowbody construction make the 166 a very versatile instrument, with a bit of growl and great cut in the bridge position, while the neck pickup has a smoothness and heft while still retaining an articulation ideal for complex chord voicings.
