Gibson ES-333 & Duncan Seth Lover clips - clean and metal

[rsaathoff]

Man that color is nice looking. Been wanting a real Es-335 and just oufnd one craigs list but the guy wants new pricing for it. Plus it is red. I want the brown like this one.

[hungerstriker27]

can someone could explain me the difference between the 333 and 335?

[angelzombich]

How much is the gibson ES-335 whit a bigsby?

[TattooedCarrot]

@angelzombich - No idea, ask a dealer.

[bananahammockohyeah]

Hagstrom Viking deluxe will still kick it's ars and for a fraction of the price.

[mostmusicisbad]

Semi-hollows have such a big balls-out sound. They are relatively popular in heavy rock but I'm surprised they aren't used more in out and out metal. There's more to life than the humbucker'd superstrat surely?

[bananahammockohyeah]

@mostmusicisbad as a kid I used to love Ibanez, thought they were just pure metal. God, was I wrong. I totally agree and use that term to describe semi-hollows myself. I think of a semi-hollows as the most exquisite female specimen when it comes to looks and sound....with the biggest pair of balls hanging out it's g-string.

[russellstall]

@mostmusicisbad I agree man... semi hollow tone is just fantastic

[playon51]

The Seth Lovers are great pickups. I liked them better than a pair of PAFs that I had. They aren't wound too hot which is why they sound good. The regular Antiquities are great too.

[diceman1000]

GREAT TONE!!! i've seen you around the HC forums i believe...

[Kaajasgalvaa]

They are PAF's. Of course they sound good.

[OsamasInferno360]

Have you notice hollowbodies always have good distorted tone?

[CorvetteCoonass]

@OsamasInferno360 Best distorted tone IMO. Not muddy, but not ratty either. Warm like a Les Paul, but can sparkle like a Stratocaster too. Semi-hollows are the best guitars IMO.

[thundersteve1566]

SWEET TONE!!

[Mustang1204]

PAFs all together sound AWESOME for hi gain stuff. Not that muddy "blah" without character you get from EMGs, but full of Character. You can hear how the pickup wants to attack you...raunchy, dripping with awesomeness, tone.

[gangtwanger]

I love my Seths. I put 'em in a Dean Evo SS, and now I've got killer '57 gold-top tone. IMO they're the best you'll find for the price if you want that '57 PAF sound. If you want to get closer to an original PAF, you'll have to buy the Throbaks, but I'm not sure if he even offers an alnico II model (I really prefer the smoothness of the alnico II magnets). So-happy with my Seths right now..... and the Dean (Killer sustain). I'm getting that old gold-top LP tone I've always wanted.

[fenderstrat71]

i love the finish

[BorisDono]

distorded sound like iron maiden

[sjsongs]

I've got a 335 that I'm wanting to change the pups in - I play a bluesy progressive rock/metal style compositionally somewhere between Rush/Floyd and Opeth, preferring cleaner guitar tones.  This sounds perfect!!!

[000Z9A]

Dude the distortion is fucking awesome....

clean to but don't thought the dist. would be so nice...

Love that guitar!!

[SgtThump]

Hey man, how's it going? Sounds great!

[CorvetteCoonass]

gawd that tone clean or distorted is perfect! :D

[Classix1969]

i adored the clean sounding tones, not as fussed about the driven ones.

[Jmikey0423]

Gorgeous! That distorted sound reminded me of the Nuge.

[T0bh]

This guitar can do any type of music..

[Danthehorse]

wow metal tone from a blues axe and pups! yeah the 333 is a very good alternative to the 335, very nice indeed

[3fitzgrld]

Sweet! That bridge distorted was awesome. I woulda never known it was comming from a semi-hollow body. Think I'll pickup these pickups for my Sheraton II. Nice lookin guitar btw.

[MiracleKD18]

Awesome! Gotta love both the blues/jazz (clean) part and the metal (distorted)!

[G36n]

what can you say about epiphone sheraton II ?would it sound greater with there seth lovers?

[mikeiswylde]

I love the tone its terrific. Whats the difference between the 335 and the 333

[FloroSapien]

The 335 has a pickguard.

[StreakingInJanuary]

The 335 has a pickguard and 335's use 57 classics, and the 333 has no pickguard, and they have 498T and 490R set.

[JayIceColdD]

Are these in neck or bridge position?

Thanks!

[TattooedCarrot]

Clean was the neck, distorted was the bridge. Both are Seth Lovers.

[thefray123]

whats the difference  between a 335 and a 333?

[tumcubus]

the 333 is a stripped down version of the 335 they body is satin finished, the pickups are different type 490R and 498T

The headstock has a silkscreen Gibson logo.

the stop producing this model a while ago

I used to have one :)

[44eelz]

what?? they stopped making these, why is all the

best stuff discontinued?? all the new models are crap.."The new Gibson Droid model, it tunes itself, distorts itself and it PLAYS itself, no need for talent!!" Get the hell outta my face with that shit!

reissue all the stuff ppl want.

[chooseyourblues]

Well fuckin' said man.

[lastangelsofrock]

reissues are shit they ask so much money for it and it probebley isnt even better than the original

[timjatomnee]

The metal sound misses a bit of tightness of some pickups, but the clean is a lot better than the clean tones of those. Awesome clean.

[Haushinka234]

lol, it actually sounds pretty darn good for metal

[G36n]

Totally agree, but where is the feedback?

its a semihollow anyway :|

[stevenrpollock]

if you can tell me where to find a 333 i'll love you forever. been trying to find one in something other than cherry for months

[sk8er441]

muscians friend or tom delonge es 333

[amkferdinand16]

they have stopped makin the es 333 now, havent they? the tom delonge is the only way to get it?

[sk8er441]

ya the epiphone dot studio is an es-335 but it looks a ton like a es-333 because of the headstock and finish but ya other than that there is the gibson bb lucille i dont know if they still make it. That and the Tom delonge signature are the only ones i think. i have the tom delonge signature its amazing

[Vision519]

epiphone delonge i believe :) they stopped making the gibson after blink break-up...

[lastangelsofrock]

no asshole they stopped making the gibson half a year a go

[eprang24]

That sounds surprisingly good distorted, what effects are you using? Is that the basic recto distortion?

[BeboAltizer]

nice!!! i really like the thick distorted tones

[nedav91]

VERY VERY GOOD SOUND.i LIKE THIS GUITAR!!!IT'S FANTASTIC

[jjbennett123]

Sounds good mate :)
