    Default I bought a Gibson ES335!

    Yes, one my dreams will come true!!!

    I will soon be a proud owner of a Gibson ES335 !!!!

    I say "will be", because I bought the guitar through ebay (it's a used one - 2002 model) and the seller just shipped it to me.

    I feel VERY ANXIOUS to get this beauty on my hands :






    I hope someday I will be able to get 1% of Larry Carlton's sound and feeling:

    Oh, you lucky dog! It's a beauty. I'm lacking in the ES-335 area too...

    I'm so jealous! I love 335's. When you get it send us some pictures and some recordings of it. Congratulations on the new axe! It looks like you're getting a really good one.

    Elavd, Conngrats!

    It’s a real beauty. And the maple flame…just the way I like it. Not too much not too little.

    Elavd, I'll second what Adrian30 said--that is one gorgeous axe!! I played an ES335 for a few months back in 1978, lived with a blues player who had one, and they are to die for!! The action on his was smooth and low, and yet he constantly complained about it needing a good setup. I can't imagine it could have improved the playability or sound, though--it was as close to electric guitar perfection as I've ever had in my hands.

    Looking forward to hearing more about it (and from you on it!).

    She's a honey to be sure! Nice Larry Carlton clip too ude:



    Can't wait to hear it.

    Trev

    P.S. Hey Robert, it'd be about time you got some "class" and picked up a nice 335-ish git. I'd like to hear what you can do with a set of 13's and a wound G-string I'm guessin' it would be very soulful and jazzy.

    Me, I just crank 'er and let 'er rip and try to hang on at the edge of feedback control

    Here's me with my Cherry Red HB-30...

    Not to hijack Elavd's thread, cause that is one beautiful guitar, but I love that shot of you Trev. Knowing that you like a little Rockabilly (ala the Kingbees), I can just imagine you hanging on that edge, and maybe crossing over once or twice just because.

    Elavd, can't wait to hear how yours sounds. :

    Congrats Elavd! -02 model means that you´ll get the classic ´57 pickups, they sound awesome!
    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009
