They were all the rage back when I got mine a few years ago. Then like you said they disappeared. I’m still looking for the case they made specifically for this guitar. I still play mine often.
Agreed. If Google is right, when I was a kid in the 80s, $150 today was the same as about $50 back then which wouldn’t have bought anything worth playing - let alone what you get now. This guitar isn’t perfect by any means. I filed down the fret ends so now the neck feels great. The fretboard inlays aren’t perfect when you look closely. One of the tuning peg holes isn’t level with the opposite one. But for the money spent it holds tune and plays great.
@@MDLAV8R Great tone and playing. Even though I own a Gibson 335 I have a desire for these cheaper knock offs to experiment with. Bought a Grote 335 clone but with p90s and other than fret end filing and fret polishing it's a decent player. Thanks for just playing some cool music.

Seems like these have disappeared from Amazon, or sold out for 2023 Xmas…they’re saying no idea when they’ll be back in stock

That is amazing it even sounds pretty close to a real 335. Your playing made it sound even better. 🔥
Wow, thanks!

I almost got this 338 but decided to get the Firefly FFLP classic and loving it... It's Blueberry Burst with triple humbuckers.
Looks like a beautiful guitar. Hopefully it weighs less than my 10 lb Gibson Les Paul lol.
@@MDLAV8R 8.4 lbs... You can see me playing it in my 2nd last video.
Sounds really good without extrenious use of fuzz & overdrive
Thanks. Yeah - nice to hear the actual guitar once in awhile lol.
Just got mine yesterday.
Can‘t judge the sound if you don‘t know the amp ...
Stock US Deluxe Nrm preset in the HX Stomp ...
@@MDLAV8R Thanx
I don't know if it is intentionally but your style reminds me of Mark Knopfler. Take it as a compliment ;) I like it.
Have not heard that before but I guess I can see the influence now that you mention it. Thanks!
Very cool! Not a substitute for the real thing in my opinion, but for less than $200...you can't really go wrong.

Smooth
Thanks for just playing and not dragging out the typical copycat reviews.
Yeah - don’t you hate that? Just shut up and get to the point, right?

Never owned a guitar with P90s. I’ll have to check out the Grote.
Got one can’t keep it in tune
It either the nut is not sanded smooth,the tuners,need new strings.
Thanks is for this vid! Do you have a vid with the upgrades??
I don’t. I might have to do that since I’m not sure how much different it will sound. Upgrades were mainly for controlling feedback.
Nice video
Are you still playing it?
Hows it holding up?
Yeah. Still fun to play. I added a Duesenberg vibrato because everything is better with vibrato 😂
Thanks for the reply!
Vibrato is fun and anyone saying otherwise is fooling themselves
