A picture is worth a thousand words

I finally got my Gibson ES-335.




It sounds as good as it looks.

Yahhh, I love 335s! Can you record this? I must have sound demos of her!!!

Definitely will once I get back to my dorm room. I just couldn't help but show it off a little bit! :D

I went to Dave's Guitar Shop in La Crosse, Wisconsin and played every 335 in the store (as well as some 355s, PRS Hollowbodies, and Rickenbackers) for 6 hours before settling on this one. It was well worth it. Seriously, its the most beautiful thing I have ever seen or played.

not to be rude but how much this run you

nice can i touch it

Congrats on the guitar!!! I've got an Epiphone version and i love it

It was priced at $2749.99, but I managed to negotiate it down to $2349.99 (came out to about $2500 with tax). Originally I was looking at a used ES-335 of a cheaper model, but the owner was asking for $1600.00 when it was worth about $1100.00 to $1400.00 so in the end I just bought new. In fact, this one arrived from the factory the day before.

Sounds pretty expensive I know, but I've been looking for a guitar that can keep up with my playing and last me for the rest of my years (granted, I take good care of it). I found it in this guitar, and it was worth every single penny.

Hey Foogered,
You didn't take the money out of the "beer fund" did you? There seems to be 2500.00 missing! LOL
Seriously, I love it! Congrats! Now let's hear it.
Phip

sniffle sniffle.....its...sniffle...beautiful!

Now...how about letin's us hear you play some thing. I want some sweet 335 dot-fullness

1 word, wow...

Soooooo Peeeerrrrrttttyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!

Wow Foogered, that's an AMAZING guitar... I'm coming to yours now :D

@foogered - when you where playing the Rickenbacker's did you play a 620 i always wanted to play one but no one ever has em

'Fraid not, I only tried out the hollow-body Rickenbackers.

I played a 620 along time ago, it was a black star edition or something. It was all black sorta like the goth guitars are now but this was back in the 90's. I did not like it at all, tone was fine but the fretboard was so small, and i got fat sausage fingers (ok maybe not that fat) I could not even play a chord.

Still waiting for a recording Foogered......

Great guitar, awesome for jazz and blues.
Getting a new hollowbody too, pondering this one with some others.

Whoa... Foogered, is that your house in your display pictrue?

he looks like one rich man

Foogered is a rich man! He used to go by the name Arthur.




Phip

Woah, that's probebly the best guitar I've ever seen! If not it's certaintly up there. I'm gonna probebly cry myself to sleep tonight, everytime I get something new, shiney and great someone else always out does it at the most annoynig time. The same story for that classy piano! No fair, I always wanted a piano. I'm sad now.

Heh, I've been saving for a few years to buy this baby. It's a dream come true.

And yeah, that's my house :P

I'll probably make some recordings tonight.

What was that? Party round yours? SURE! :D

No wonder Phip loves hanging out with you!

I kid I kid.

Yeah I'm up for hearing some recordings man that'll be awesome. I bet the tone is amazing.

I've decided to name her Scarlett!

johannson!

Scarlett Johansson can't hold a candle to this baby!

Woah, a few years? For a stinking rich pimp? Just how much did 'your new woman' cost :P

That is one fancy mama. I call those guitars "Tuxedo guitars"

THATS MY DREAM GUITAR

I love those guitars, awesome choice foogered :)

My dad owns an ES-335. I ove playing it when I at his house. They play so unbelievably smooth. Great buy.
