I see... its not the "traditional 335 model" (for lack of a better term).... Thanks for pointing that out... funny how companies today want to make so many different models... The ES335 as it is/was will never go out of style...
-
Stock pickups in a 335 after about 1992 have always been 57 classics... you sure you didn't replace 57 classics... because burstbuckers have the same "Patent Applied For" sticker on the back...

Can't say it any better than that... Only thing that is going to improve your tone on a stock Gibson ES-175 is your fingers...

If you are simply just looking for a nut and you live in the USA, -- Ace Hardware... you cant beat their selection...

About 8 1/4 lbs...

No, Both the dot and the Alder Les Paul were made in the Korean Unsung Factory... -

If I wanted a thinner sound, I would have bought and Alder-Strat... There is a good reason why the les paul has always been made of mahogany... More sustain and warmer tones... -

If in fact that Dot I owned had an indonesian mahogany center block, I really can't complain since I felt that wood had a lot to do with the great tone and sustain of that guitar.... I also own a Gibson Les Paul Classic Antique Zebrawood that has not only great sustain and tone but a beatiful natural wood finish... -

Rotcanx... Great responses .... Thanks... One question... I own an Gibson ES-137 with a mahogany center block.. Would you happen to know if that one uses African or Indonesian ?? I think the Indonesian mahogany will do just fine... I just don't want an alder Les Paul... -

What is mdf ? Wow... faking an epiphone would be like making fake 1 dollar bills wouldn't it ?? -
I once bought a 2000 (MIK) epiphone les paul custom off ebay that weighed 6.5 pounds.... I opened up the back control cavity panel and looked inside... I even sanded down a small section to get the true wood color.... The wood was a blonde/pale yellow color... I also saw the same color in the wire tunnel that goes between the pots and pickups... I could only guess that we had a solid alder les paul... Boy, was I pissed off... Anyway, I flipped that guitar and now I am planning on buying a 2007 Epi les paul custom .... I have heard from guitar shops and Gibson themselves that all 2007 Epi les paul customs have a mahogany body... NO ALDER... But I have read from time to time that epiphone does what they damn well please concerning the les paul woods.... and that your les paul will be like a box of chocolates... What do you all think ? Can I trust Gibson that the les paul will be nice and heavy and have a mahogany body ?? Another thing of interest... I once owned a 1999 Epi dot that had outstanding tone... When I changed out the pickups I noticed the center block was made of a splintery reddish brown wood that looked to me like mahogany... According to Gibson, they always used maple for the center blocks... But with what I saw and the fact that dot was pretty darn heavy, I concluded that they had used mahogany for the center block... Go figure...
