Call for moratorium on 335s

ES-335 The original Fusion Guitar! A marriage of hollow and solid body guitars.

An incorrect opinion

OK, I'm in. I pledge not to buy one.

Limited hang-out: OK, I'm (sorta) in. I pledge not to buy (yet another) one. Probably.

OK, I’m in too.... I pledge not to buy one! (Because my ES-333 is all the ES-335 you need for less than half the money..... :-D)

(And the biggest bonus: it’s worn brown, the modern production ES-335 doesn’t even come in that colour!)

Full disclosure, I love ‘em and 345s, as well as 355s, of which I have one, but if you’re giving out passes, I think “Captain Fingers” deserves one as well.

Ritenour deserves an exception, but--funny--he plays a signature L-5 these days.

Very true, as well as an R9.

I'll be honest...I don't know what they were thinking with that. All the disadvantages of a full body and a double-cutaway in a single package...

It's like too rational to be any good.

[radiofm74]

You, sir, are a genius. I already thought so, but now I know for certain.

[citizenk74]

I've had both real and copy 335s but I always had trouble with the very long expanse of guitar top between the tailpiece and the bottom end of the guitar. Like, what purpose does that acre of wood serve anyway?

In my case (and I don't think I'm alone) embonpoint camouflage.

Up until maybe the 1990s The ES-335 and it's variants were basically the only fusion of hollow and solid body with glued in necks available.
Now with so many choices available from PRS as well as smaller builders there is every combination one could possibly ask for.

So I stand by my earlier statement of the 335 being the original Fusion guitar.

this having 2 accounts thing is clever, it means you can contradict yourself without fear of contradiction.

What he did was a clear market manipulation. He was gonna get the guitar all along.

Implausabile deniability.

If Christian creates a new account, then we know a "Stratocaster love thread" is coming.

[mr. beaumont]

Funny, I hadn't even noticed Christian hadn't posted as Mr. 77 in almost a year.

whoever he is, he suffers from a split personality disorder.

[jim777]

This thread killed 2 hours for me Also made me want to play my AS200 when I get home. I LOVE 'caught up' days with no meetings lol

Gads, at 67 I thought I had some beefs (even joke types) but now I feel better knowing it can get worse :-)

I had some beefs once-but then I sold the farm!
