That is a beauty. I still need a Gibson semi in my collection. The closest thing I have to one is an Epiphone P93 Riviera which is pretty cool, but my ultimate semi would be an ES-345 Stereo in trans brown and in second place (but only just) an ES-355 in Walnut from the 70's just like the one BB King used to play before he got his signature model Lucille.

That finish does look rather special.... [thumbup]

 

Funny how $'s become £'s when pricing Gibsons in the UK.... [unsure]

 

My personal journey has moved away from the 335 'family' for one reason or other

 

Having enjoyed a 335 for 20yrs or so

 

I now prefer the more 'acoustic' sounds of the hollow ES330 and ES225 which benefit from a touch more brightness via P90's

 

Sometimes a simpler, more direct tonal pallet can be appropriate
