    ES-335 Figured or ES-335 PRO limited edition

    I’ll admit to being partial to iced tea burst flame tops. Fender “Plus Top” Strat, MiM, 2013. Super guit. Plays so sweet. Neck modern C but almost a little more carved (think ‘60 Les Paul).

    This one sure is pretty. Iced tea-ish burst: https://www.epiphone.com/Guitar/EPIXTP963/ES-335-Figured/Raspberry-Tea-Burst

    ES-335 Figured or ES-335 PRO limited edition

    That’s a shame about yours. The 335 Pros available are probably simply the last in stock and will sell through and be done with. Are they offering the flame top as a replacement or did you get a refund? Personally, I prefer the new, less-gigantic headstock on the new ones.

    ES-335 Figured or ES-335 PRO limited edition

    From all I can tell, there’s no difference between the two other than the flame veneer. If it floats your boat, by all means, go. I love my plain top 2019 335 Pro in heritage cherry. Other than the new headstock shape, it appears all electronics and pickups are the same. And, interestingly...

    Just picked up this Bad Boy Today!

    So nice. Congrats. I’ve been mighty tempted by that specific guitar, but never jumped. Please update us with a review soon. Looking forward to it.

    Did 60s/70s Guitarists Upgrade Their Guitars?

    Thanks CC! Cool seeing all the stats and glad it got into the right hands and had the proper finishing touches by Mr. Turner. How awesome is it that the original pickups were somehow found?!? When it was at Gruhn Guitars, I almost asked to play it but because a) it was inside the acrylic...

    Did 60s/70s Guitarists Upgrade Their Guitars?

    CC: I stand corrected. Phil’s “Mission Control” solid body pictured above was at Gruhn’s Guitars here in Nashville last time I checked. Pretty amazing to see that thing in person. There’s a Dead cover band called the Stolen Faces whose bassist on occasion has gotten to play Mission Control...

    Congrats E56. Nice guitar and thanks for the clarification. I actually called Gibson since I originally asked the Q and was told the same. Still absolutely loving mine. If you’re reading this and ever have tuning, fretting or intonation issues, do yourself a favor and have it professionally...

    Did 60s/70s Guitarists Upgrade Their Guitars?

    Great photos. Phil’s bass was loosely templated on a Starfire but was actually an Alembic, I believe amongst the very first Alembic basses. Cipollina’s SG = a work of art.

    Did 60s/70s Guitarists Upgrade Their Guitars?

    Thanks for the rec, Norton. I may have to hit Lowes today and get some.

    Did 60s/70s Guitarists Upgrade Their Guitars?

    Dunlop 65 lemon oil. The 335 Pro I just got needs the same treatment but the NYXL 10-46 set are practically new and too good to yank off just yet. When they’re finally toast, my pão ferro board will look like rosewood. Or ebony. ;)

    Can we Stop with the Black Guitars Please

    I recently watched the YT video documenting the process of building of a 335 at the Gibson factory and the guy hosting the tour (who had previously held multiple jobs on the Gibson factory floor) said that guitars with poor looking wood (unfortunate knots, weird grain) were the guitars that got...

    Thanks Raiyn. The copper tape idea is one I’ve read about for a while and have now seen multiple YT vids on it. I’m considering doing that now that I’ve found a reliable, reasonably priced tech here. This is the unit I’m referencing...

    Lastly, the ‘95 Martin 000-1. Got it in ‘96 for $500. Still stoked on that deal. That’s my quiver minus the ‘39 O’ahu lap steel.

    While I regularly check out things on YT, I didn’t know there was a 60 Cycle Hum channel. I only used the handle because I get said hum on my amps. Wondering if that’s only a not-well-grounded electrical circuit in our home or if it’s the amps. Which leads me to another Q: anyone tried the...

    Sorry about that Raiyn. I’m a nice guy though and hope to bring some Epi stoke around here.

    This is why it’s a Plus Top: flamed maple. Not sure if it’s a cap or a veneer but it’s purty.

    Some of the others. L>R Gibson LP Studio “worn brown”, a 2005 with a 490/498 set and Klusons. Taylor GS-Mini rosewood 2018 and a Fender Plus-Top Strat (Baja) from 2013. Not pictured: Martin 000-1 1995, an Epi LP Special II (Korea, 1997) and a Indio/MP Tele copy.
