glennc Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hello, I was wondering if someone might know of an Epiphone ES-335. Found one in a GC and it was dirt cheap. It was natural maple with a baseball mahogany neck, really baseball bat size. Unfortunately after getting set to buy it, I noticed that the headstock had broken off and was repaired. Not that well either. Is it a particular model? Bummer as it is a style guitar I covet seriously. What a shame! Thanks Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennc Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 Hello, Does no one have a clue about this guitar and the unusual neck size? Was it a historic or something. Would love to locate one. Thanks for any help... Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Summerisle Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I've noticed a real variance in the neck size of MIC semi and hollow-body Epiphones. A couple of years ago I ordered a (new) standard Casino from on an online dealer. The neck on that thing was colossal - like a '50s Les Paul. I tried to like it for a few months, but could never get used to it and traded it. Maybe the guitar you found is part of the special run Peter mentioned (above). Or maybe it's just a regular Dot from a run that received one of Epi's "on steroids" necks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I can find one on ebay, unless it is just a steroidal plain dot. This was a light mahogany neck with the darker mahogany section at the bottom where it attaches to the body. Natural maple, closest thing I will be able to afford compared to the original Vintage Gibsons....... Appreciate all of the people who responded!
