I recently purchased a copy of Joe Bonamassa's new DVD. The tone he gets from his rigs reminded me of the similar tone I get from my 1990 ES335 and my Marshall. So I dug her out. I haven't played it in 6 months or so and it only need one string tuned. I started playing along with "Further on up the Road" , The sweet tone and the playability of this guitar is quite amazing.
I always forget about the accessability of the higher frets on the 335.
I have several LPs with various pickups but none have the beautiful sweet tone of the 335. I will keep her out for a while now.
I purchased it several years ago from a friend who owned it since new and I had it "on loan" for several years and always thought it was a beast and sounded awful. Since I purchased it I had a complete pro set up and it is a totally different guitar. Apparently it was never set up from the factory.
Now I am very glad I bought it.
