Mine belonged to a friend who lost a fight with cancer and covid...we had played together for a few decades. Sometime after his passing the family gifted me his 335. It was made in Memphis and i remember how excited he was to get it. I'm honored to have it. Love to hear about your 335 and see one of your favorite pics of it!

This ES-345 TDC has been with me since 1982 ... it's a '63 with replaced mono wiring and the Varitone is disconnected.
Very sweet sounding guitar with early PAT-# pickups ... I love the extra binding and the inlays and have always preferred this "fancy" ES-version.

But often the LPC or the 335 go also because I never know upfront if one of the bands will play one or two rock or funk (Led Zeppelin, George Benson ao). The 335 is very versitile.

I have a similar one, 70s. I've had it for more than twenty years now. I go through periods when I play it for hours every day, and periods where I play hollow bodies and it stays in the case. Have played countless gigs with it. It had short frets to begin with, at this point you can mistake it for a fretless guitar, hehehe..
The previous owner installed a stop tail piece with fine tuners! Maybe in the next decade I'll get to replace that stuff ..

All beauties! Sold mine last Friday to fund the new Eastman 7 string. Already miss having it in the stable. I'll get another one again soon.

Some great looking 335/345 boxes! I never bonded with the walnut Norlin skinny neck 345 I had so it went up north in a trade for a different Gibson. If it would’ve had a 1 11/16 nut, a refret and better string spacing it might still be with me. It was a beauty.

I’ll play… but I cheat, it’s a 333, not a 335 ;-)

Here’s my ‘85 Dot Neck. Bought it used in the mid 90’s from a tech friend at Gryphon music. Can’t believe it’s nearing 40 yrs old…!
Ive completely reworked it through the years & have it just where it’s a fine sounding/playing 335 & still in remarkable condition. Electronix upgrade,Thro-Bak pickups, Faber Hardware & refret did wonders…
Here it is next to my’ ‘63 ES-330

This was my Memphis-built 2013 50th Anniversary (‘63 Reissue) with the VOS treatment, nickel hardware, etc. It looked and felt exactly like a NOS vintage guitar. I ended up selling the guitar though. The vintage-style electronics didn’t suit me and I didn’t feel that it would be right to make any modifications. It sure was a thing of beauty though.

The 330 is in a world of it’s own…

Ok I’ll admit I want one. What should I look out for?
