![]() ![]() ![]() I was torn between this guitar and a late 90's Korean Ibanez AS-80. I know that's deviating from the 335 sound, but I think it might be what I'm after. I've always been a single coil guy so I'm debating on putting Tonerider Rebel 90 P-90s in and seeing what I come up with. I'd read this before on HC and had already planned on gutting the pickups/electronics, getting rid of the plastic nut and possibly even changing out the bridge. Acoustically it sounds fine but the pick ups are muuuuuudy. ![]() Sound.Ok, this is where I gambled a little. The finish is poly, but it's not super thick like an Epi Dot. The construction seems solid with no gaps in the binding, no joints pulling apart. I don't think whoever previously owned this guitar ever played the darn thing! It seems to be a spec for spec copy of an es-335 which I've always been in love with. The body is in excellent condition without a scratch on it. It has a nice flame to it too, which doesn't hurt its appeal. It's the neck I've been searching for forever. It's fat, but not super fat like a Gibson and just wide enough where it feels in between my old strat and my Taylor. The neck is the single most comfortable neck that has ever rested in my hands. So I just pulled the trigger on this guitar for $325 and I'm giddy. ![]()
