NGD -335

[pickdropper]

This was sort of an unexpected NGD.  I recently sold my R8 and was vaguely looking for a replacement Les Paul when I came across a '63 Reissue ES-335 in Sixties Cherry.  I already have a 2015 Memphis ES-335 Figured Top but I've always wanted the '63 (specifically in Sixties Cherry).  No flame or anything fancy, just a transparent red plywood top.

Neck is nice on this one.  It's thicker than my 2015 (which I wanted) but not so beefy as my old R8. 



I haven't decided yet if I'm going to sell off my old one and pursue a Les Paul or bring it to work and use it there.

Very nice. This isn't a dream guitar for me...either that or a similar Ibanez a la John Scofield or Ben Monder.

I love my epi 335 pro, I could only dream of one of these. Are those the classic 57 pups?

This reminds me, the used bookstore near me got an Epiphone Dot the other day that has me pretty tempted. 200$ for it, in damn near pristine condition (had some belt buckle scuffs on the back, and the bridge setup was all out of whack). If I weren't damn near broke from Xmas shopping I would've brought it home with me then and there....

No, it has the newer MHS pickups.  I've never had them in anything before, so I'm still getting used to them.  So far, I prefer them to the Burstbuckers in my other 335, but that isn't saying much.  If I keep that guitar, I'll probably pull those at some point.

Wow, that's gorgeous. Love the grain.

Plus, you can get your Marty McFly on.

Marty McFly played an ES-355.

What's even more amazing was that he played it in 1955, three years before it was introduced.  No wonder Marvin Berry immediately called his cousin, Chuck.
