neilpanda Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 The music store has become my hang out spot between my friends and I, and when I was there today, GAS struck me again. Its the boxing week sale and the fender standards are almost 200 bucks off. I dont know about you, but that sounds like a deal to me. Im thinking about either selling my beloved 335, which I dont play any more and could easily cover the strat, or this old acoustic that my dad found at his job, Ive never really touched it because its 'his' guitar, but I know that that's not what he thinks about it. I realize the 335 is from a limited run, and is pretty rare, but it I dont even play it, what good does it do for me? what to do? if I do decide to go for it, Alpine White, Candy Apple Red, Lake Placid Blue, or Black with HSS?

rocketman Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 But isn't the 335 worth a lot more than the Strat (even a satin one)? Tough decision either way. Strats are nice but I wouldn't trade a 335 for one IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxom Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 White w/ S/S/S config. Otherwise the bridge pickup would be worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strats are nice but I wouldn't trade a 335 for one IMHO. that is a good point, but like a said in the original post, I dont even play the 335 any more, and Im thinking it would be worth it to trade it because it is a nice guitar, but it just doesnt get played enough in my hands, and it would be nice to see someone who really enjoys it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I've been gasing for an American Vintage Strat for a little while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This_Dying_Soul Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 depends on the pickguard (as long as it isn't that hideous tourtise shell color)I would take the olympic white. Agree with buxom that the s/s/s configuration is better. Also, for what the 335 is worth I would consider getting something more than just an American Standard Strat- American Deluxe is more versatile. Make sure you at least get some cash back out of the deal or at least some additional store credit or something if you plan to trade the 335 to the music store.

charlie brown Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Beastie...I'd keep the ES-335! Strat's, even at great prices, are plentiful! Limited edition, 335's are not. I have guitars, too, that I thought I was "done with," and then sometime later, I got the bug, to play them again, and was delighted, that I didn't sell or trade them off. It's you decision, but... I'd take a step back, and really think about it! Just my 2-cent's worth. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxom Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Or you could just buy it and make your collection larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always regret selling stuff because within a year of letting it go I start jonesing to play it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrNylon Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 GAS! If you really have to, Lake Placid Blue. I know what you're going through. I'm trying not to go back to the Heritage Cherry SG Std. Bass. GAS! Do whatever you can live with partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Trading in an ES-335 for a strat? Talk about trading down. Like dumping Scarlett Johansson for the meth addicted trailer park girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
