I had a black one some years back. I cannot recall exactly what I paid for it at the time (too many guitars) but I ended up selling it to buy something else I didn't need at the time.. lol. I recall that it was a good solid guitar and I don't remember having any complaints or issues with it - just wanted something else back then. I know I didn't pay a lot for it which is why I initially grabbed it up - you know anything with Gibson on it for not much money was a good acquisition! :)

What is that laying on the pavement in front of your SUV? Is that a rabbit? It looks like a rabbit

Just got this in the mail - going to go listen to it right now! His latest release. Hopefully not his last.

It's much more than "a cool little wannabe Jeep", it's a piece of your Dad's history and that my friend, as you already know - makes it priceless. If you would PM me your paypal address, I would be happy to contribute $100 to the cause. I'm sorry you had to deal with this and I hope the girl gets the full weight of the justice system. She's lucky she didn't kill someone.

Wow. Where did you buy it from?

You guys ROCK!!!!!

No....must not look...must keep wallet in pocket... aw poop.. too late. I looked

Okay I played her all evening long and I will never sell this guitar. Never. It's still one of my all time favorites to play. I think Gibson got it perfect on this one. Clean or dirty the tone and playability is well worth the cost of admission.

After playing my Midtown Kalamazoo that I couldn't put down ever since I got it right before Christmas - I whipped out my CS336 tonight with a vintage Marshall JTM 30 to re-visit some other nirvana tone. See you guys later

Just saw this one on ebay today. (Not my auction) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Gibson-Goldtone-Amplifier-Footswitch-NR-/161196923432

That is just gorgeous as hell.

I have read that other HRF owners "hated" the individual finger-type tailpiece and they actually replaced it with a stop tail (gasp!) I don't understand that at all and I think it's one of the coolest designs ever made. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I think Gibson must not have been selling many of these as it was more associated with a jazz type guitar than a multi-genre type of guitar which, every owner of these fine guitars know, is BS. Mine will rock out with the best of my other Gibson guitars, plays superb blues as well. Really one of the best under-the-radar semi-hollow bodies Gibson ever produced. I'm thrilled I stumbled across mine when I did and it is, and will remain, one of my all time favorites. It just feels "perfect" to play. B)

I am the proud owner of a CS336 and if you click on the link below it will take you directly to the page showing mine. Mine is a 2005 model that I bought new. http://www.rivercityrockets.com/GibsonCS336.html To be honest at the time I walked into the Gibson dealer here I had not heard of the CS336 in advance. I just saw this stunning guitar hanging there, took it off the wall, played it for about an hour, then bought it and brought her home. These are fabulous guitars and I'm so glad I saw it, played it and grabbed it.

That's beautiful! Thanks for posting that & congratulations!!!

Sam Ash has one on Ebay for $2099.00. If anybody lives near the store they would probably give someone a better deal figuring they wouldn't have to pay Ebay fees. I dunno.. Here's the link for anyone who is interested. I have nothing to do with that store or their gear for sale in case anyone was wondering. :) *** Removed the link - auction ended awhile back. Looks like it didn't sell.

There's just so many juicy elements to these models, the feel, the tone to die for, and that tailpiece just gives me goosebumps. I will never sell mine so if it comes up for sale in Iowa - you'll know I passed away. Gee I hope you don't see that for quite awhile yet Thanks for posting that picture!

You're welcome Sir - just hope the guy will do him a solid and come up with one for him

Oh man I own that amp and have the footswitch and not sure if anything else would work for that amp or not. This one place used to make a replacement switch but I see that he's stating they are not available any more. Don't know if contacting him would do any good or not at this point but I guess it wouldn't cost him anything to email the guy just in case he has an extra one laying around. Here's the sight address: http://ronsound.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=29_112&products_id=790 Good luck to your friend. Killer amp

Those are absolutely stunning!!! Beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing those drop dead gorgeous pics!!!

Wow nobody else owns one of these? :mellow:

All the metal bits are gold. Everything on the guitar is original as I knew the previous owner. He and his wife used to visit the local Gibson dealer every Saturday as I did, back in the day to see what new Gibsons had come in. We had a very friendly competition to see who could get there first and buy whatever new and exciting model came in. We both amassed quite a collection and just as importantly we all had a ball. Unfortunately Gary's wife died a few years later from cancer and he lost all interest in his music. I was at a different music store one day when he brought in several of his collection to sell on consignment. I bought the Howard Roberts from him right on the spot. Even more unfortunately Gary died a year after his wife did, also of cancer. This guitar has more mojo than you could have known. I can tell you that we were/are both purists and we did not make any modifications to our Gibsons. Gary was a hell of a guitarist and I'd like to think he lives on every time I take her out to play. And hell yeah on the Jack Daniels brother

When I punch in my serial number I get the following info: Your guitar was made at the Nashville Plant, TN, USA October 14th, 1992 Production Number: 135 However they also note that most hollow bodies and semi-hollow bodies were made at the Memphis plant. Either way she was born in Tennessee and my grandfather "Emerald" was born in Fall Branch Tennessee back in the 1800's so it's got all the mojo I could ever hope for. Daddy like
