  1. Hello All- Today the 2014 ES-335 Satin that i ordered from Chicago Music Exchange arrived. It is everything i hoped it would be and more. Setup was dead on right out of the case. Neck is SO comfortable, and i was surprised to find how forgiving of a player it is. During my lunch break i plugged it into my Marshall Class 5 and it sounded so smooth and creamy. Later this evening i brought the 335, a little pignose amp and a few fingers of bourbon out onto the deck and sat down to really get to know the guitar. It is safe to say i am quite smitten. I chose a satin finish because i have three other gloss finished Gibsons, and always felt like the gloss was too thick and seemed almost "plastic-y". I also prefer plain tops, and it seems like the plainest tops are satin-finishes. That being said, i feel like it is a bit too satin-y. I'm planning on giving it the Virtuoso polish treatment with it's first string change... my ultimate goal is for it to look more like a 50 year old closet queen... a bit of shine but nothing crazy. I know many of you folks have already done this with your satin 335's. The main question i have is... can Virtuoso be used on the headstock veneer? Thanks!
