I bought a Gibson ES335!

[elavd]

Yes, one my dreams will come true!!!

I will soon be a proud owner of a Gibson ES335 !!!!

I say "will be", because I bought the guitar through ebay (it's a used one - 2002 model) and the seller just shipped it to me.

I feel VERY ANXIOUS to get this beauty on my hands :drool::

I hope someday I will be able to get 1% of Larry Carlton's sound and feeling:

Beautiful, Elavd!

 

[Robert]

Oh, you lucky dog! It's a beauty. I'm lacking in the ES-335 area too...

 

[elavd]

Robert I think that you SHOULD GET one

Your playing deserves it...

 

[jpfeifer]

I'm so jealous! I love 335's. When you get it send us some pictures and some recordings of it. Congratulations on the new axe! It looks like you're getting a really good one.

[tot_Ou_tard]

Double :drool: :drool: .

niiiiiice & thanks for the Larry Carlton as well. I guess your next purchase will be a Dumble .

Man! Nobody does venusian folds in a guitar case like Gibson .

Elavd, Conngrats!:beer:

It’s a real beauty. And the maple flame…just the way I like it. Not too much not too little. :drool:

Robert, go for one! You'll make that pretty thing melt in your hands.

 

[YerDugliness]

Elavd, I'll second what Adrian30 said--that is one gorgeous axe!! I played an ES335 for a few months back in 1978, lived with a blues player who had one, and they are to die for!! The action on his was smooth and low, and yet he constantly complained about it needing a good setup. I can't imagine it could have improved the playability or sound, though--it was as close to electric guitar perfection as I've ever had in my hands.

Looking forward to hearing more about it (and from you on it!).

She's a honey to be sure! Nice Larry Carlton clip too ude:

:drool:

Can't wait to hear it.

Trev

P.S. Hey Robert, it'd be about time you got some "class" and picked up a nice 335-ish git. I'd like to hear what you can do with a set of 13's and a wound G-string :beer: I'm guessin' it would be very soulful and jazzy.

Me, I just crank 'er and let 'er rip and try to hang on at the edge of feedback control :beavisnbutthead: :R

Here's me with my Cherry Red HB-30...

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Not to hijack Elavd's thread, cause that is one beautiful guitar, but I love that shot of you Trev. Knowing that you like a little Rockabilly (ala the Kingbees), I can just imagine you hanging on that edge, and maybe crossing over once or twice just because.:munch: :saw:

Elavd, can't wait to hear how yours sounds. :AOK:

 

[SuperSwede]

Congrats Elavd! -02 model means that you´ll get the classic ´57 pickups, they sound awesome!

 

[elavd]

Thank you all guys!!!

I can't wait the minute that I'll take her out of the case and play!

Superswede, yes it has the classic 57 pickups and also a fat neck...

 

[Lev]

Wow, a new Start and now a 335, that's some collection of guitars you are putting together. Congrats, can't wait to hear it!

Yes, math can sound crazy, don't they. ude:

 

[Tone2TheBone]

Congrats E have fun with that baby.

 

[R_of_G]

way to go E! My first electric was an ES-135, and it remains my fav instrument to play. Nothing else quite has the same tone as a Gibson semi-hollow archtop. I wish you years of joy with it.:AOK:

 

[duhvoodooman]

SUH-WEET, E-man!! Every serious player should have a 335-type, IMO. Just a classic axe! That one's a beaut!!
