Johnny 6 String Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 http://www.gibson.co...eauty-2018.aspx This is a new one. Anybody got an extra $5500 they feel like throwing my way? (insert sound of crickets chirping here) It sure is a pretty one, and I like 3 pups, sooo, cant help your gas fund since you're triggering mine LOL (damn no semis in the hoard, I mean herd either).

Rabs Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Interesting the middle pickup is reversed polarity.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 They're really trying to make up for lost time with the missing 2017 line up - over 5 pages of models. Odd that only the over priced Lucille has the VariTone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody78 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Very nice. I never knew they weight relieved the centre block in these type of guitars...is this a new thing for this model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still waiting for them to bring back the 345 Stereo from a few years back with the varitone, 2 inputs (like Lucille) and in transparent brown.

Twang Gang Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Very nice. I never knew they weight relieved the centre block in these type of guitars...is this a new thing for this model? Yes, I think it is new for 2017 or 2018, never heard of it before that. Not sure how much difference in weight it will make, but Maple is pretty heavy even in a hollow or semi-hollow body so I guess anything to make a 335 more comfortable is an improvement. I don't know how the special Memphis circuitry works. Says it has two volumes, a master tone, and a blend. Are we blending in the middle pickup? or what?

Yes, I believe the blend allows the middle to be blended in and out of the normal config with the added bonus of still having volume if the middle pup is at zero.

Retired Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 That is sharp looking, but looking at that line, I liked the ES-275 Custom for $4,399 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Hayden Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 That's so you could get all Peter Green on it if he played a 335. Not a fan of gold or 3 pups but it is a looker. That gold plating you have to clean every month or you have pitting, I'm with you brother 4H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Take another hit for me. I have the flu right now so I guess I’m all groggy from the medicine or somethin. I had just looked at that thread with the cracked lookin headstock and then looked at this and thought wtf? So stupid haha. The flu is rotting my brain. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
