Show your ES 335 style guitars!

[Katastrophe]

Beautiful guitars Steve, Spuds, Tio! I knew the Hagstrom contingent would come along, and I'm surprised that we have as many Heritage owners here as well... Robert, didn't you have a Hag at one time?

[MAXIFUNK]

DVM-Wired Jimmy Page style, with 4 push-pull pots: what exactly does that mean?

[MAXIFUNK]

i have only one 335-style guitar and that is my heritage h535.

that is killer

[MAXIFUNK]

EVERYONE great guitars all.

[Dragon Rider]

it's not a double cut away, but it is a hollow-body, and its 45 yrs young

[sunvalleylaw]

That is a really cool guitar too. I would love to play one. I like that trapeze style bridge too.

[otaypanky***]

I used to also have an Epiphone version of that goldtop too. The Epi was a wonderful guitar, just flawless. There are lots of great looking guitars in this thread, I'd like to try every one of them. I never even held a Heritage. The pickguards on those are cool

[Brian Krashpad]

That is a really cool guitar too. I would love to play one. I like that trapeze style bridge too.

That particular sub-type of trapeze tailpiece is called a "harp." Used on some Guilds and some of the DeArmond line that emulated Guilds. I had one on a DeArmond M-75 but preferred the stoptail on my M-72, though the harp is cooler looking.

Somewhat oddly, I've never had a 335-style guitar. As small as I am, they make me look even more vertically-challenged. If I were to get one it'd be a scaled-down version like a CS-336 (not that I'll ever be able to afford one of those). The only non-thinline (Dano-type construction with stanadard Fender-size body) semi I have is my WildKat, which is also a smaller body than most standard-sized semi's. It's just right for li'l ol' me.

Cool pics you boys!

No Gretschs? I was GASing for one of those, but no moolah. I'd have to sell a couple somethings to afford one, even the cheap ones which go for $500 or so used. I really, really want a hollow/semi-hollow someday.

some how I forgot about this girl. 1972 Framus

I hear ya, RH... I've had permaGAS for a Gretsch for a long time! You may also want to look into the Ibanez Artcore line. Used they are cheaper than the Gretsch and with a pup swap for some GFS Retrotrons they can be just as twangy.

another GREAT value in a 335 style is a Japanese built Washburn HB35. I had one for years, and let it go when I landed the Heritage. It stacks up VERY well against the real deal.

And my Viking. Brian, you are plenty large enough to handle a 335 size in my mind!

Here is a You-tube video of me playing my Gibson ES-345. My only Gibson and it is a GREAT guitar I will never part with.

If I could justify a 2nd hollowbody, and if I wasn't saving all the pennies for a Hell Guitar or two, I'd be all over the HB-32

A B-stock is a guitar that has minor cosmetic issues or blemishes from mis-handling at the factory. It is new in every other regard. Don't let the word B-stock scare you because this great guitar has a Full Lifetime Warranty! Washburn rates their B-stock as B1, B2, and B3 with B1 having the most minor cosmetic flaw to B3 have the more serious flaws. All of our Washburn B-stock guitars are B1. We do not sell B2, or B3 stock.

This one brings back memories. Back in the 60's I played a Guild Starfire III.

[Dragon Rider]

I'd love to find a well preserved starfire, but the word seems to be out and they fetch a pretty penny nowadays.

is the washburn HB-32 close?

Yes, darn close. The HB-32DM is the same as the HB-30 except for the relic-ing. The HB-35 might be a step up but I have the HB-32DM and like it a lot. Good bluesy guitar.
