RobFalcon Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Someone has offered me a trade for my 2012 Gibson Custom ES-335 Dot reissue with long neck tenon and PAF 1 & 2 in excellent condition, for their 2014 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop Traditional Pro G.C. Limited Edition...does this mean Guitar Center limited edition? I don't know. Here are pictures of the guitars. If you click on the pictures you can see the full size images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobFalcon Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Correction: the LP is a traditional pro II, not just a traditional pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Don't understand the question. How much are they worth? which is "better"? What is it you are asking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I guess if you each prefer the other's guitar and it would make you both happy, then it would be a good trade for both of you. If one guitar is faulty or has some concealed issues then it might cause friction later, so good to be 100% honest with each other upfront obviously. Enjoy whichever you take home!

Mike_L Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Only you can decide whether this is a good trade or not. But since you asked.... ditto what Pippy said. NO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHenry Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I'd keep the 335. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Hello! That would be a bad move, of course. Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I would keep the ES335 personally. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADKNOCKER Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I'd keep the ES335 Too!! You can always score a Les Paul Gold Top anywhere.. Just my opinion.. I'd also say that the ES is worth more money in a side by side comparison.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 The 335 appears to be a Satan finish, which is a couple hundred more? I would keep the 335 also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 ...The 335 appears to be a Satan finish... Devilishly Handsome, those Satan-finish guitars... Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 ...with superhot Burstbucker pickups. "satan finish". LOL!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Not to be contrary, but how can WE know, what's a good preference, or "trade," for YOU! The Les Paul is a great guitar, but so is a 335! Play them both, within the context of the music you do, most often, and see which one does it best, I guess? If "I" had to have only 1 Gibson, it would probably be a Semi-hollow...335, 345, 355, etc. (But, it might also be an SG! ) They are very versatile instruments, for every genre! But, that's just Me.

merciful-evans Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I hate & detest thinking the same way as everybody else, but with this choice I'm compelled to agree. The ES-335 would get the gig every time with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 The 335 is worth quite a bit more....'Satan' finish or not. Not a good trade IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockyA Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I wouldn't. I'd keep the ES 335 Satin, it has Classic '57s in it and the LP has Burstbuckers......Keep your ES 335 buddy!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBRUCE Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 RobFalcon, IMO Gibson made 3 guitars that are Rock n Roll classics. The Les Paul....The SG......and the ES335. I own the 1st two. Would be NICE to have a 335. I believe Chuck Berry played one. Justin Hayward, Singer/Songwriter of the Moody Blues played one...and others. All that aside...it's just a great tone classic.So I think you know where I'm going with this.......KEEP THE ##%^%* 335 man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
