charlie brown Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Well, I've never actually owned an ES-335...but, a couple of ES-355's... one, being my current Gibson "Lucille!" So, I'd have to say BB King, was the biggest influence, there...originally, anyway. But, Freddy King, was another 345/355 player, I enjoyed. And, of course, Chuck Berry! The other (335) players, mentioned already, were..and continue to be, influences, as well. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesidae Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Fully agree with CB... BB, Freddie and Chuck got me turned onto ES guitars... I would like to add Keith Richards. Especially appreciate the 355/Lucille versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brundaddy Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Bill Haley, Chuck Berry, George Thorogood, Malcolm Young, Izzy Stradlin, Ted Nugent (even though he's so damn cheesy), Bow Wow Wow's guitar player on the White Falcon, etc. To me when I was a kid, they were so cool with those guitars (& still are). Double-cutaway guitars never did seem cool at all. Chuck Berry & JL Hooker were the only guys who pulled it off IMO. (& Chuck Berry wrote his good stuff with a 350 or some Single-Cut model) Weird I know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevDavidLee Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Well I'm late to this thread but I would say Alvin Lee - specifically his Woodstock performance. RIP Alvin who definitely went Home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 After my earlier post extolling the influence of the great Bert Weedon... I got to the thinking... And wondered why (I think) nobody has mentioned the great Eric Clapton... Who IMO took the 335 into new areas as perhaps the first hi gain blues rock player... Certainly highly influential...

cjsinla Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 The Beatles, they all played semi-hollows in the beginning. That RickenbackerGretch sound got me. I also like the sound that the guy in Jet was getting on his 335? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazytrain513 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Don't have one yet but Eric Johnson really made me want one the first time I heard "Cliffs of Dover" (and every subsequent time as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
