Gibson ES 335 .

[Stubby]

Any one got one ?  For me the most versatile axe around . I have Strats . Teles   an SG and  a Les Paul others  but a 335 with vintage " burst buckers " and a valve amp ( AC 30 , Fender Blues Junior , and Cornfor Harlequin )  has got to be the billie bollox !  Even good un plugged . .......Opinions ..........?

I love a 335. I have Ephie (Epiphone 335).  My mate's recently bought a Heritage 335 though.  It's delicious.  Heritage are the orginal gibson builders with a new brand.

The mid range grunt is unsurpassed.

There's some places that only a strat can get too, but a 335 ticks all the boxes.

See I would not want to tie a 335 down to any particular genre of music . It can do it all in spades ( given the guy on the pick )

Aye, it is one of the most versatile of instuments.

 

Whack a wee bit of distortion and you're golden.

Just drive a valve  amp  bit and bingo . That subtle " break up " that comes when you attack and cleans up when you back off  . Not a pedal in sight !
