guitarfish Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I never thought I'd own a 335, but one day the proverbial ship came in. 2009 in Light Burst. Lovely guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayyj Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I'm not normally a fan of too much flame on a 335, but that light burst is gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IngloriousFenrir Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Here is my 2012 Memphis 335 in Vintage Sunburst! Nice Flames, everybody! However, I'm a plain-top kind of guy. I added the Bigsby immediately after I got her and slapped that Custom Made plaque on as a homage to the 335s back in the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dylanita Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 This is my "new" Gibson ES335 from 1978. I bought It two weeks ago.. It has a coil split switch factory installed. The colour is walnut (a very dark walnut, almost transparent black) A real beauty and a GREAT sounding guitar. I hope you like.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 That 78 is a beauty and it looks to be in perfect condition. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayyj Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 There are many appalling looking walnut finish guitars from early to mid 70s, but they really improved it by '78-'79, from dung brown to dark chocolate. The finish on my 355 (the one earlier in the thread) is a dead ringer for Dylanita's when seen in decent light, and is one of my favourite Gibson finishes.

SteveFord Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I think I recall seeing the "Dung Brown" listed in one of the Norlin sales brochures. It appeared to be relatively short lived... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeson355 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I am the proud owner of a 2014 plain top dot neck Memphis ES-335. I've had the new baby for a couple of days, and have only a few hours playing around with it, but I have to say it's a fantastic guitar. I have 10's on it right now as I do a lot of very wide bends (3 and 4 semi tones), and I wanted to see how it felt before considering a move to 11's. I've got a replacement harness from Martin Six Strings with the 500K pots and bumble bee caps that I intend to swap out down the road, but I'm going to give the stock electronics a roll for a while before deciding to change anything. I will likely make a few recordings with the stock electronics and then swap and do the same recordings again to see if there is really a difference coming through on disc, but my first impression of the tones and various tapers on volume and tone are pretty positive. Judging by the chatter on the internet, I was expecting a muffled, tone depleted guitar that could never please me with the stock electronics, but in the short time I've had with this guitar, I was able to dial in a wide variety of very nice usable tones with no effort. I'm sure the honeymoon just needs to come and go before I get the itch to mod anything. I plan to stick with the Classic '57's for quite some time, I like what I'm hearing… today. At any rate, I know what you all really care about… guitar porn. So here it is (granted, it's just a brand new Memphis plain top, so it's not going to blow you away): More pics if you want: http://s968.photobucket.com/user/lifeson355/library/ES335 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
