Gibson 335-S Deluxe. The Gibson 335-S was a solid-body version of their very popular Electric Spanish guitar, the ES-335. Although a very similar shape (though a little smaller), and with identical controls, being a solid-body rather than semi-acoustic guitar gave this model a rather different sound. The 335-S came in three varieties:
Axcelerator Series Axcelerator (made in USA 1994–1998) Axcelerator AX (made in USA 1995–1998) Axcelerator F (made in USA 1994) Cropper Classic (made in USA)

The letters ES stand for Electric Spanish, to distinguish them from Hawaiian-style lap steel guitars which are played flat on the lap.
