    i love the 335 and semihollow guitars. Speaking of stones, you have a lot of stones to say that adam rogers, pete mccann, ben monder, john scofield, randy johnston, paul bollenback, rodney jones, et. al. are not playing proper guitars.

    I actually heard Adam Rogers on an archtop once, when he took one out of my hands bc he didn't think my rhythm was right on Evidence.

    I think having a solid body makes certain things possible. It makes things a lot smoother.
    I am not a fan of the 80's tone, but his tone on his recent records is outstanding to me

    Some people appear to not have read the thread with comprehension. Anyone who is taking the title and posts seriously has serious comprehension problems, and needs to actually read, not just quickly scan. You're missing the point entirely.

    Did you tell him to keep playing until you could get Christian on the line?

    Having been playing for over 60 years and having owned hundreds of guitars, I confess that I've never own an ES-335. I don't think I've ever even played one.

    However, I have owned a dozen of these:

    In my defense I almost never used them for jazz gigs, but for stand-up rock/pop gigs a Gibson ES-355 model has been my most-used type of guitar from '62-2002. At that time I decided that they were getting too big and heavy for me and switched to these (not the big one in the middle):

    I still use them for non-jazz gigs, the Johhny A. more than the CS-356 because I prefer the long scale length.

    I prefer this style of guitar to solidbodies because, to me, they feel better to play. There some resonance and tactile feedback that's lacking in a solid guitar. OTOH, they can be played way louder than an L-5 without acoustic feedback.

    If they're too heavy, you can save some weight by removing the Bigsbys.

    So Danny, how do the smaller bodied guitars compare to the larger ones, in tone, resonance and feel? They are very popular these days.

    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?
