CapM Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I am on the verge of buying an ES 335. I had an order in for the LP Tribute GT, but played someone's 335 and fell in love (with the guitar, that is). So, I cancelled my LP order. I found a 335 with a beautiful "trans brown figured gloss" finish. It really is stunning. I guess Gibson makes a limited quantity of some finishes like this one. Question is, would this be a desirable finish in resale? I don't want to purchase something that I might be able to get full value for down the road. Thanks for any input you might have.

kaicho8888 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Gibsons do not depreciate in time. So, satisfy your "wants", have fun and enjoy your guitar for a long time. You will end up not wanting to part with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarfish Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 The cherry 335's are the most popular, and probably easiest to sell. If your primary concern is resale, then you should realize that. When I saw a 335 in Lightburst, I was smitten. I bought one eventually because of what I wanted, not what others may want. I hope I never have to sell it, but if I do, I'll deal with it then. For now, I'm enjoying the heck out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapM Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Love the blue! The flame makes it look like waves in an ocean. I ended up getting the trans brown - I LOVE the look of the gold hardware on it. The flame is not as prevalent as it is on the lighter finishes though. I haven't taken a good pic of it yet but will post when I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjl200 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Can't wait to see it. The real beauty of the 335 is, of course the sound.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
