Telenic Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I'm trying to find out if a 535 is the same size as a Gibson 335 or an Epiphone Casino. And, if anyone knows, what is the width of the lower bout on a 535? I'm asking because I'm trying to trade a Gibson Les Paul for a semi hollow guitar and I have a potential opportunity to trade for a Heritage 535.

Heritage lists dimensions for 535/555 at 17 7/8" long, 16" wide, and 1 1/2 rim thickness. Gibson specs 335 historic at 19" long, 16" wide, and 1 3/4 thick. The 330, and I'm 99% certain the Casino, had the same body dimensions, though the neck joined the body at the 16th fret, to make a secure joint in the absence of a center block, unlike the 335, which joined at the 19th fret. I've checked my 535 against my '70 355, and the differences seem to conform pretty well to this comparison --Gibson and Heritage are about the same at the bottom bout, but the Heritage thinner by a 1/4 inch, and has a shorter body.
