  1. I got the Opportunity to play loud through my amp yesterday. I have a Jazz Chorus and it wasn't difficult to dial in everything from smooth mellow to crystal cleans with whatever amount of dirt thrown into the mix when I fancied it. I'll be keeping these pups. They sounded really good.
  2. Well I happened to get a 2021 Figured yesterday and oh my it is an exceptional guitar. It has the T-Types and in 335 terms I'd say they are bright. I like them so far, they suit my style, but they are not the same as in my previous 2000 335 which was pretty good at the mellow, warm, woody vibe.
  3. I had lusted after one of these for a long time and a couple of weeks ago I found one. I ordered it but on arrival the frets were a mess. Lots of frets were lifting right off the fingerboard. I returned it to the store and their luthier looked at it, he called me and said it was so bad they needed to return it, as in his opinion it required a complete re-fret. I'm still interested in another, they look great, but if you can check the actual one out first it may be less risk than an online purchase.
  4. Of course. For a whole 14.... minutes 🤣
  5. Thank you all for your congratulations. Day 4 of ownership today and it's also my 335s 18th birthday. I'm still in awe. What an incredible guitar!
  6. Thank you all. You are right as well Larry, I'm asking mysell just how I didn't realise what a difference their was. I feel like a better guitarist already... although I'm sure I don't sound it !
  7. Mine arrived late last night. A 2002 335 Dot. I love it. It is more than I hoped for. I have a Proline Gretsch and a Duesenberg which are both fantastic, but initial impressions are that this just has something extra. A feel and vibe the others just don't. It plays fantastic. Good luck with your delivery!
  8. Hi all, After 35 years of lusting (and playing various other guitars) and a 6 week long search taking me all around the south of the UK (observing all social distancing rules), finally today has seen those longed for words, "Out for delivery" appear on an incoming Gibson shipment. I'm sat by the window eagerly awaiting an incoming ES-335, and hoping it arrives safely. Have a great day everyone.
