  1. Bought the Guitar New at ZZounds for $1400 when they were unloading them lol. Think one of these days I should take it out of its case and play it..............JT
  2. I bought my 2013 Government Gray Explorer New in 2013 for $800 Try and find a New Explorer for under $1000?Myself I used the guitar in 2013 for less then 15 mins and its been in the case for almost 10 years only getting dust on the case lol.Myself I bought it because I had money to waste and it looked interesting being in Gray and Black Tuners and Green case.What little I have seen of these they are going from $2000-$3000 USED unless you buy a Series 2.if I wanna sell it the money would only go into the bank sitting lol......JT
  3. When these were NEW I was on a Guitar spending spree since most New guitars were being blowout. These were going for $1000 new and got 20% off at MF for $800. These came with the DirtyFingers,Rosewood,Nice guitar tuners and its lovely Green guitar case. They only made 100 and you cannot find these on Ebay(maybe once or twice a year}Yep some say you might be overpaying if you spend $2000 and others are NUTSSSS thinking they can buy one for under $1000.Mine was played for less then 15 mins and has been in its case since 2013(Have many other guitars to play if I want too.The 15 mins I played it for sounded greattttt if my memory is ok.Many people complain about these guitars and put them down for no reason cause many missed the bandwagon and was not able to buy one......These were sold out with in 1 week being released....>JT
  4. $1800 for theses were a real deal,Think these would be a lot more today......JT http://legacy.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/2017/Memphis/ES-335-1970s-Walnut.aspx
  5. I have a ES330 in Natural with Bigsby that I got for $1800 NEW from the CME Blowout in 2017. The Serial Number is NOT on a decal buttttt if you look its in the lower F Hole,Great guitarssss...JT
  6. Just saw a case that I did not have to open to know what it was.It is a Green case so it makes it a Series 1 Government Explorer. I never played the guitar(Well maybe less then 15 mins}but it was a very limited guitar(100 made} and cost me $799 NEW after the 20% MF gave me at checkout time.Too me these are $2000 if they were being made today? Anyone bought one of theses?I thought it was a NO Brainer at the time when they were first released...>>JT
  7. Just looking at some of my guitars,I really have NO clue whats in these cases since I have around 50 Gibsons and fenders that i have been buying since 2012(NOT counting my Vintage stuff that's in storage} Anyways seen a 2014 Billie Joe Armstong ES137 with 3 Autograghs on the COA and Pickguard and somewhere else. But looks like a really Kool guitar and If I remember it sounded good too since I only used it less the 15 mins and back in the case lol.....Anyone else bought one and at $1400 I feel it was wellllll worth it from Zzounds...JT
  8. I have a Gov Explorer in Gray color with Green case(those are the 1st that came out} They only made100 in Explorers and 100 in Vs Yep the Neck and Bridge pickups are Dirty Finger Plus pickups. Used the guitar less then 10 mins when I bought it when they first came out. Its still in the case as new but have many other guitars that I use...…….JT
  9. Cost NEW was $1799 at Zzounds.($1999 minus 10% over the phone}Nice guitar and sounds greattttt Still have mine in the case and strummed it for less then 15 mins.Have many other guitars that I can pick from when I want too....JT
  10. What Color is the guitar you are looking at? I bought a 2017 ES335 70s in Walnut Stain at Zzounds...………...JT
  11. Funny you should ask. I also have a New 2017 ES335 in Natural figured ,2017 ES137 Billie Joe Armstrong and a 2017 ES330 in natural with bigsby(all not played at all} besides the ES335 in Stain Walnut. Think the reason that I don't play them is that I have no time or maybe kinda lazy lately or maybe I just have to many New guitars I bought and put them in my closet lol. I think the real reason is I just don't get around playing them...….JT
  12. Did anyone get the 2017 Gibson Es335 70s Stain Walnut from Zzounds for $1999 back in 2018?(10% discount comes out to be $1799} Wondering how you like the guitar. Mine is still in the case and hope to get it out and use it one of these days.
