Crowey Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Gidday all, I was wondering if anybody here has had a noodle on the new Rich Robinson 335? I've got first dibs on one coming into my local shop, but I was just curious as I figure it might already be out there in the US. Whilst I appreciate that at the end of the day its how if feels in my own hands, and how I like the sound, but other's opinions can be useful/helpful. It looks like a really versatile guitar, easily capable of playing the type of music I really love - Hooker, Gov't Mule, Alvin Lee, Cream-era Clapton, (obviously) Black Crowes, etc. And I use a Mesa Boogie Lonestar Special, which I think would be a pretty good amp for such a guitar - again some feedback on that would be cool. Thanks for your time, and I look forward to any feedback you all might throw my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylumph Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I don't know if you've got yours yet but I got one a week ago and I've come to the conclusion that Gibson Really got this one right! Mine was hanging in a local Sam Ash and when I saw it, I freaked! It had every thing I wanted in a 335. When I played it, it was even better. The wider nut makes a huge difference! The burstbuckers IMO are a better fit than the 57 classics that usally come in 335s. I don't normally like VOS and fake aging but I'm a fan of the way they did this one! The color is EXACTLY like the ones I remember in the 60s. I traded my 12 year old regular 335 w Grovers on it and no regrets at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsongs Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Congrat'ts to you both those are awesome Guitars. Wished they offered a Bigsby option on more ES models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the feedback mate - I put mine on layby not long after posting this; and I make the last payment next week and will pick it up next Friday. Can't wait, its #181, and I feel blessed to have been able to get my hands on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
