jmaster67 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 This is an amazing guitar! Been wanting a 335 for 30 years! After seeing all the flap about the bi-layered rosewood necks, I decided to go ahead and get a 2012. My reasoning went like this: If headstocks are stronger after a glued repair, and a Les Paul body is maple glued onto mahogany, why wouldn't the bi-layered fretboards be just as good as a one piece? Anyway, this is the third Gibby I've bought mail order (5th overall) and I still have yet to run into these quality control horror stories that I read so much. I still prefer speed knobs, but I've got some of those ordered. Overall, I am thoroughly satisfied! Haven't taken any pics but I figured the black 335 looks the same in any pic. =D> =D> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasdw Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Yup. Gotta have pictures. Each 335 looks different in it's natural habitat. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomV Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Congrats !! Great news - all the 335s now have this nice beefy tenon ("historic-like") see here:My link ..as for the fretboard.. well it is just a stop-gap measure with no advantage and hopefully not detrimental to the sound (I´ve never played one -yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
