Bob Isaac Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I couldn't find anything on this with a search but what are the differences between the 335 and 355? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 355 released as a 'deluxe' 335... Ebony board with block inlays...some had stereo wiring, some had 'varitone' selector switch Multiple binding Gold hardware...often with a Bigsby or Vibrola... Initially only cherry red...then later an additional dark brown 'walnut' finish... V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Rather uncommon for a teenie-orientated glam rock band of the early 1970s, The Sweet guitarist Andy Scott is famous for playing a cherry red ES-355. To me it seems he biamped his one using a sound as clean as possible with a Vox AC-30 non-top-boost for the neck pu while blowing the bridge pu through a Vox AC-30 top-boost channel, and varying its gain as desired. Listening closely to studio recordings reveals that he must have done this during recording, too instead of doubling his rhythm guitar. I think Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn wanted to save money on time, but at least the sound is truely authentic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
