Murph Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 When I joined this forum, I was gassing for a '58 Lester. I gigged bars with a '72 Les Paul Recording from Mesa/Phoenix, to Lake Charles Louisiana, to Illinois, for some 14 years. Switched to some Fenders for some Country gigs (although I kept the SG) Tim showed me pictures of his. Nice. After many months of pain, quit smoking, switched bands, ect., ect., I fell in love with the ES-339. Bought it. Love it. It's my # 1...... So, why do I still still want the big boy? Hmmmmm? Murph.

The Mick Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Eye would really like one as well. Eye had a es 325 walnut back in the day sure regret selling that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djroge1 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I had gas for a 335 about a year ago. I just couldn't afford any except that ugly cherry with the flat finish. I heard only good things about the Epiphone elitist dot so I took the plunge and bought one right before they stopped making them. Best playing guitar I have. I like it better than my 78 Les Paul and SRV strat. Sounds great and plays great. It has cured my gibby 335 gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holy Hand Grenade Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I have always wanted one but they are to expensive for the likes of me. I could save up but i do not have the will to spend to much money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSG_Standard Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I have a hankering for a 335 too, I was looking for one when I found my ES135. I will have a 335 one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I entered the Gibson and Discovery Channel's Chris Isaac 335 give away everyday during the contest. They were also giving away three Epiphone Dots along with a beautiful, high gloss 335. I haven't been notified yet if I'm a winner. I just checked to see if I was among the winners. Not yet.

:oilpit: Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Last September I really wanted a 335, went to a few stores tried a few out, and went home with a Telecaster. They're cool, they sound cool, they look cool. Something about 'em just doesn't do it for me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G u e s t Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 . . Try an Epi Sheraton from the mid-ninety's out of Samick to keep you going until the right 335 comes by. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Ever since the Video for Robert Plants "Hurtin' Kind" I've wanted a Heritage Cherry 335. I still want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heymisterk Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Just a suggestion...Try out a Heritage 535, built by the old Gibson boys in Kalamazoo. They are outrageously good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 So' date=' why do I still still want the big boy?[/quote']Do you associate the guitar with some of your favorite players and want one for that reason, maybe? I love mine, wish it had the jumbo frets but no big deal. There was a time when I was tossing & turning over selling/trading it for another LP but glad I kept it. I would have definitely had regrets later on. Are you still G.A.S.'n for a '58 Lester? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 Do you associate the guitar with some of your favorite players and want one for that reason' date=' maybe? [/quote'] Not at all. I just played one a few weeks before I ordered the 339 and loved the neck. Also the sustain. The semi hollows just have something. I just got home from gigging my 339. It's my favorite guitar in the World right now. I also need a double cut now, so the '61 SG is in my radar, or a red 339, or a 335. I haven't gigged a Les Paul in over a decade, except my daughters new Studio Fireburst, and it was damned good, but I just prefer a double cut. Best of luck. Murph.
