mr newhaven Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 hello everyone... for all of you following the saga with my LG2...i found a very nice solution to my problem! i erased my ad in the trading post after this... let me introduce you to my new baby! i plugged into a deluxe reverb at the store and dimed it... i strummed a hard E chord....and got goosebumps!!! it weighs in at right around 8lbs! HOLY $HIT this thing ROCKS!!! I traded my strat and lg-2 for it but it was DEFINITELY worth it! Here she is! 2001 Gibson ES 335: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rewddawg1 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Hey that's a Beauty! Are those 57 Classic pups? Rewd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr newhaven Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 yeah it has the 57 classics... i played it today for about an hour at the store through a deluxe reverb and a swart space tone...also a Carr Raleigh...they sound incredible... I keep hearing that a Burstbucker 2 in the neck is the way to go...but for now I wanna get used to the Classic 57's...the only gibby humbuckers i had experience with were the Burstbucker Pro's and they sounded pretty good...but man the Classic 57's...in the bridge position...SCREAM!

Shnate McDuanus Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Beautiful. It's a very, very happy NGD for you, man. The fact that the sound gave you goosebumps is a good sign. The beautiful natural wood-grain is an added bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr newhaven Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 thanks...i have an affinity for natural wood grain... don't get me wrong...my strat in olympic white was one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen...but the wood grain just hipnotizes me you know? thats what im starting to develop a mighty expensive habit for! hahaha but on a side note...im not prejudiced...i do have a Daphne Blue (more like surf green now) 72 musicmaster bass! im looking to get a matching 6 string if i find the right one...(not a re-finish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
