Gibson ES-335
Semi-acoustic guitar model
Electric guitar · United States
Introduced in 1958, the ES-335 was the first commercially successful semi-hollow electric, pairing hollow wings with a solid maple center block. That design blends the warmth and resonance of a hollow body with the sustain and feedback resistance of a solid, making it one of the most versatile electrics ever built.

Fender Precision Bass
Bass guitar
Electric bass
Introduced in 1951, the Precision Bass was the first mass-produced electric bass guitar and effectively defined the instrument. Its fretted neck let players fret notes precisely, and the split single-coil pickup adopted in 1957 gives the deep, punchy tone that anchors recordings across nearly every popular genre.
