Tman Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 I feel whole now. But, I don't have the guts to even remove the pick guard cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Cecil Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 We have the same taste in guitars and photo shots. I have a 2008 flame-top natural 335, and your photos look identical to some of mine from my last trip to the Santa Monica Pier. I've never been into Truetone, though. I think that place is the physical embodiment of temptation. But its on my list of the first five places to visit after I win the lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 I definitely drained my savings! In order to not do serious damage to my marriage I had to make a deal with my wife: No new guitars for 5 years or if I win a grammy, whichever comes first. <_< I recorded a video of a favorite song intro to show the versatility of the guitar as well as show off a bass I built about 4 years ago. I wanted to show that a 335 can scream as well as be a mellow player. This song shows both sides of the guitar with multiple personality disorder. The 335 through a vox AC-30 computer model with overdrive and the rhythm is through a Fender Twin Reverb amp model fairly clean. Bass is direct injection (just learned that term). Damn nice 335 Brian. I am ecstatic with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo Monkey Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 NICE Phillip!!! I'm glad you took the plunge. You'll love that guitar for the rest of your life. She looks and sounds outstanding. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Thanks Chris - am lovin it!!! After looking at that video I realize that I have another entry in the How do you know you're getting old thread. One looks like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Sigh! I miss Santa Monica. Looking at that picture brings tears to my eyes. The birdseye maple top ES-335 isn't bad too You got a blonde beauty. Play her in good health. Incidentally, I asked Gibson Custom Shop if they would make an ES-175 with blonde birdseye maple. The quote made me all starry-eyed. Here's hoping that Gibson would make a production run of ES-175 like your ES-335 and send one to my favorite dealer.

Thanks JW, I like figured wood and was glad they made it even though it was limited quantity. A 175 would be outstanding! Here's to you getting one!
