badbluesplayer Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I had to get rid of my '07 ES-339 and nearly new How'd this get in there? '13 SG to get it. It was made in late '11 and it's been mellowing out in the case at a store in Asheville NC for a year or so. Music City was super nice to deal with. The guitar is great and it was only hanging on the wall for a few weeks. Super playable and really nice sounding. I great guitar in all regards. Impeccable workmanship. Perfect neck - just how I like it. It has that badaxx low end snarl. It breaks up at the slightest provocation. I practically have to mop up the slobber that's all over the place from this thing.

Spoonful Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Oh Yeah! Iconic too. When you get a good one, they are just amazing! I'm not sure anything else can really replace a 335. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JO'C Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Congrats on your beautiful new axe. there's nothing like a nice 335. I have a 2008 Larry Carlton and love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capmaster Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Here's a quick video of the new 335 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsMr1_bFlyY Wow, seems to match your sound and style perfectly - congrats, great buy and nice play! Does the title of the composition go around particular sulphur springs? It makes me remember a vacation in Canada twenty years ago. I have seen and smelled some sulphur springs that time in Alberta and British Columbia. My spouse and me were young in love then, and since three months we are divorced.

badbluesplayer Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 I had to replace that pesky beveled pickup ring on the neck pickup. I made a nice flat one - Much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundjunkie Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 What are you referring to? Your 335 is contoured isnt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 What are you referring to? Your 335 is contoured isnt it? Think it's the same problem as with my Alex Lifeson Axcess Les Paul. It is in need of an unbeveled (but not a flat) neck pickup ring, too, since the top surface is fairly aligned with the strings around the neck pickup position.

Zack M Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Your new guitar looks and sounds gorgeous! BTW, what's the name of the store in Asheville? I'm a couple of hours away and may need to see what else is aging in a case there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badbluesplayer Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 What are you referring to? Your 335 is contoured isnt it? Yeah - the top of the guitar is pretty flat right near the neck. I just took a standard bridge pickup ring (which is thicker than the neck ring) and sanded it down until it was flat. I had done that before on the ES-339 that I had. You can sand it to whatever thickness and amount of bevel you need. I always wondered why Gibson didn't have some flat rings around so when they make a $3,000.00 guitar they can put an appropriate pickup ring on there.

badbluesplayer Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 This 335 has the "Memphis Tone Circuit" wiring. I replaced the cheesy ceramic caps with some NOS Sprague Vitamin Q's. I had to do some vacuuming while I was in there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobouz Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Beautiful & Congrats! I also have a late 2011 335 in the same color, but from there it differs a lot: P90s, ebony fretboard, gloss top w/satin back & sides, chrome tulip buttons, '60s neck profile. It was a GC special run. The one thing that appears to be identical from that period is the workmanship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
