  1. thanks all! Good points about the return policies and online retailers. I am looking mostly around on reverb and there are a couple nice 335s and some black 355s on there now that do look nice, especially those 335s. And covering the shipping back would be worth it as opposed to getting stuck with a bad guitar. Probably going to keep shopping for awhile while and hopefully find a few more to try around town. i've bought guitars online before and it was great, probably just more nervous due to $$$ haha. thanks!
  2. You’re right of course! Patience is key for this one I think! I found a great tobacco burst 335 with a bigsby at a local shop that I played yesterday that may be swaying my opinions on this and it also made me come to my senses about the importance of playing before buying 🙂 ... but it sure is easy to get caught up looking at pics of beautiful guitars online lol
  3. Hi all, what is the general view on the 2018 run of limited es-355 and es-335s out of Memphis? (Specifically the sixties cherry versions with bigsbys , links below). They both have rosewood boards unlike the previous 355 reissues that were using rich lite. Same pickups, both appear to use hide glue. Also guessing these were standard production line run and not custom shop since they came out of Memphis... These come up from time to time on reverb and are usually around 4K+ i’m really interested but it’s hard to buy something like that without playing since it’d be the most I’ve ever spent on a guitar and I’d plan to keep for a long time. Lots of good YouTube reviews for all the reissues in general but you know how that goes. Has anyone on here played/ owned these models? Do you think they’re worth the $$$? And does anyone know of future releases that might have an ebony board and bigsy like the classic 355s by chance? Thanks all!
