1958 Gibson ES-335

Andy Summers owns a 1958 Gibson ES-335 semi-hollow electric guitar. This is a left-handed guitar converted to right-handed, with dot inlays.

Andy acquired the Gibson ES-335 along with a custom-made electric 12-string at The Guitarman shop in New York around April 1981. This was one of the guitars he played in the studio on Ghost In The Machine and Synchronicity albums with The Police, and on I Advance Masked with Robert Fripp. The ES-335 was played on "I Burn For You", for example, matched with a Roland Bolt amp.

Andy still has the guitar in his collection as of 2018, but he feels the 335 is too large of a guitar, so prefers the smaller-bodied ES-336 model
