NGD - Custom ES - 335


Levism

Recommended Posts

I mentioned in another post that I had been on the hunt for a silverburst ES or LP. I just so happened that last Thursday my brother was in Ontario and came across a mint one in the long and mcquade. He sent some photos and played it giving me enough details ( we have similar styles) that I pulled the trigger and had it sent here. And today it came.

Nice one - you'll need to update your signature. [thumbup]

 

your bro has the Chris Cornell signature model by the looks.

 

Aye, he lucked out last year while randomly going into the guitar store and it came home with him. #74/250. It really is a beauty.

Last time I tried a 335 was literally a decade ago. Theys just too big on me, looks like I'm playing a trash can lid. But MAN I would take that Silverburst home that is causing some serious snugness across the front of my SansaBelts.

Wow, is that sarcasm or serious?

 

It is serious FZ - I really do think that colour scheme awful but that's me - I know others (as clearly stated) love it. If all guitars looked the same the world would be a much poorer place - but as Searcy might say - give me a "tasteful (sun)burst" any day!

 

But just to make it clear - nothing wrong with 335's!

Regarding wood finishes in general... :blink:

 

I belong to the 'traditional' school where 'wood as wood' is the watchword...

 

Preferring visible woodgrain, whether natural or tinted... [thumbup]

 

Exceptions in my modest collection...

 

Arctic White Strat

 

Candy Apple Red Jazzmaster

 

Gibson L6-S Silverburst

Thanks for all the love everyone. I'd played 335's before but this ones at the top of my list. Such a dream to play.

I own a silverburst 335 think they only made about 25 of them, I only bought it because it has no pick guard ,hate pick guards on a 335 and didn't want screw holes showing,there's even a rarer block inlay version
