Voodoo Monkey Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 That is gorgeous!!! That is a really nice guitar, bet it sounds amazing. Have you ever seen the show, "Live From Darrell's House with Darrell Hall? Every so often he plays a beautiful Gibson hollowbody. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasdw Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Can't decide. I go back and forth: ...OR: Both very fine instruments. Similar...but very different personalities. In the end, the 335 is the more versatile. Still though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L5Larry Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 With a name L5Larry hard to imagine you having anything other than an L-5 as your fave. Well, it's actually a hard decision. My "acoustic" archtop is a 1947 L-7 (with a pickguard mounted Benedetto S-6 pickup), and it does sometimes become a hard choice on which one to grab. Now if someone would just give a 1948 L-5P, I'd never be able to choose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasdw Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 These are both very beautiful. Love the gold hardware on your 335. Can't recall seeing that as an option before. Yeah, this 335 seems to be a limited edition. When I found it I actually found 2 in town, at 2 different shops. The top is much more heavily flamed than the typical 335. To me it does have a different sound than other 335s I've played. But of course, that's so subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampash Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 My 2011 ES-335 Dot reissue: Or my 2011 Rickenbacker 360. Can I call this an archtop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimR56 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Tough to pick a favorite... I might have to go with the L5CT, which I've had the longest (almost 25 years). '63 L5CT(ES) --- '66 L5CN(CC) custom --- '62 Sheraton --- '60 Country Gentleman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L5Larry Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Beautiful guitar, but it's not an archtop! Thinline semi-hollow bodies are just that, "thinlines". An archtop is something completely different. If a 335 is an ARCHTOP, then so is a Les Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
