Don335 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Hello everyone, This my first post here on this forum and I wanted to show everyone my new Gibson ES-335 w/Bigsby.The only modification is a 1" spring tto give the Bigsby a softer feel. It was made in January 2011 and I just bought about two months ago. I play in a little three piece Surf band..and yyes this guitar surf's very well!

Don335 Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Thanks for the compliments. I had a beautiful 2000 cherry red ES-335 I sold last year and regretted it ever since. I knew I made a mistake and saw this guitar and just had to have it. I'm toying with the idea of a TonePros roller bridge for a little smoother operation with the bigsby but I haven't made up my mind yet? I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with this type of bridge? I would like to here if there are any pros & cons about using this bridge? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again Don335 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteGalaxie Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Beautiful! I got myself a 335 last year. My last Gibson was a late 1970's Les Paul Custom. After that, I was playing Strats. I've always wanted a 335, but couldn't afford one. I was finally able to buy one last year and I love it! Here's mine: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
