I finally caved

I think Dave plays a 339 with a bigsby? Otoh don’t they normally have a dot neck?

i remember Dave saying it was a 339 but this was about 15 years ago lol

I was going by this interview, mind you this looks about 10 years old:

David Preston Interview | Jazz Guitar Scene

I never really got a good look at his guitar, what with the music stand, and then between sets he put down it facing to the wall.

To be honest, I really don’t know much about all the different types of Gibsons, what pickups they have, etc., for some reason gear has never intrigued me that much. As a guitarist I know that’s a bit weird, I don’t know why it is.

The only reason I bought an ES175 back in 1982 was that it was the only jazz guitar I’d heard of, and it’s still the only jazz guitar I own!

you’re probably right then.

tbh I’m the same. Probably help if Gibson gave them more memorable names

Haha yes like Lucille.

The 356 is to the 339 what the 345 is to the 335…. See, it’s not that difficult
