    As an owner of this model and color from 1973, it's great to see the characteristics of this slightly older specimen. I bit the bullet and recently refretted it with medium jumbo stainless steel and have been playing it non stop. The tuners on that axe look original because mine got new vintage klusons put on in 95 and they aren't as yellowed. This is an excellent choice for a player grade 335! Don't need a hardtail to bend!

    Gorgeous guitar , that's like 5 days in a row without a red guitar , unbelievable. I luv this color , natural is my fav after black , and this is natural walnut , sort of , anyway it sounds great , always wanted a 335 , it's got that british invasion feel , 60's rock but it can open up and crunch with the best of them. Some very creative and outstanding playing Lemmo , especially liked that first song. Thanks guys.

    SO AWESOME! Love that guitar and the playing! I had a VH2 cassette that I wore out in a rude old 70s van. It had plush vinyl, mirrored ceiling, brown shag carpet, and the front seats swivelled so they faced backwards. It was so unreal. This guitar and that song bring vivid memories of that van and that time. BTW, the other main tape in that van was Jimmy Bryant and Speedy west.
    The dude looking at guitars in the back is lucky. You know he's been told to not turn around and pretend like everything's normal :)

    back in the day, about '74, there was this "natural" style that came along - everything was butcher block tables, terra cotta lamps, bamboo king chairs, avocado-colored refrigerators -- I even stripped the clownburst finish off my Jazz Bass, just to make it natural and woody. Of course, the style quickly vanished (like the single year of port-wine and jade-colored outerwear, I still have a parka in those colors) -- but hey, for those who think walnut looks like poop, I dare you to eat a chocolate bar :)

    guitar. I hate the volute, though I know it's there for a reason. This is a great demo except for ......
    the Tube Screamer when you use the bridge pickup. It squashes the tone right out of the guitar
    compared to how open and full the neck and neck/middle combos are. The first two pickup
    demos are terrific. Nice, Michael, very nice.

    Never been much of a Gibson fan aside from my early 70s SG,also in walnut but the finish has aged and worn thru a lot but I love it,but I’m digging the ES335. Very versatile guitar to have In ones music room. I bought most of my vintage guitars before prices got crazy stupid expensive so I doubt I’ll be buying a vintage 335 but that’s definitely going on my to-build list. I’ve always wanted to try my hand at carving a solid top and back or laminating and molding a lam top,back and side set. Great playing as always lemmo.
