Gibson ES335

John calls upon his 40+ years of music experience to give his opinion on the Gibson ES 335. This particular guitar is a 1983 reissue of an early 1960's Gibson ES-335, and was played through a Rivera Thirty Twelve amp.

hey, amazing video. what song were you playing at the start? thanks

[johnhguitar]

I just made it up off the top of my head. Thanks for your interest.

In your experience (much longer than mine) do you find there to be much of a difference in the construction quality of a solid body and a semi hollow like this? I have a Strat style guitar and I haven't had a single problem with it in terms of build quality. However, I really am still on the hunt for the perfect electric for me. (Found my perfect acoustic, it's a Greg Bennett model, I'd suggest them to anyone). I was either considering an ES 335 or a Les Paul. I am on the road and bus quite oft

Good to hear from you.

Go into shops and stores, play and compare as many guitars as you can till the right one pops up.

Thanks for your interest.

Do you ever use the Thirty Twelve anymore? It has such lush tone!

[johnhguitar]

I was thinking of buying another one. I've been using the Evans 150 but it's only good for jazz. It's not a good blues amp.

I think the Thirty Twelve could do both well. Thanks
