- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- There are many people that believe that the best sounding pickup is the PAF humbucker. There are many people that believe 1959 was the best year for the PAF. There are many people that believe the ES-335 is the only guitar that can dethrone a 1959 burst...so today we put a 1959 ES-335 and a 1959 ES-355 Mono to the test to see if the tone is a good as everyone says! Which one do you like better?

I prefer the 355 mono! It has a sharper sound!
There you have it! Rock on! Thanks for watching and please subscribe and join the madness 🙌
Very tasty sounding guitars. The ES355 Mono looks spectacular.
It is truly one of the classiest guitars on the planet! I'm a huge fan of the 355
Great vid Benny 👌 I like the 355 the watermelon 🤘 preference would be without the bigsby 🤷♂️
No dive bombs on the bigsby for ya?
Cheers all from Newfoundland! 😃
Scott, how are you first everywhere, lol?! 😂😂😂 Hope you’re doing well today!
Cheers from Boston! As always thanks for watching Scott ♥️
@@MashaT22 I'm hardcore 😄 cheers Masha
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist you and your content are a constant source of both great information and delightfully entertaining humor! Thank you for all you do here it's very appreciated!
@scottbogfoot thanks for your unwavering support brother, I make these for you!
Amazing guitars Benny! But I have to admit that my strat neck pickup would have sounded better for this! You can't beat that tone, period. Cheers!
All different brushes in the paint set, my friend!!! Thanks for watching brother, tune in tonight
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist will do!
@@han36solo thanks for your support, my friend
Loved the jam with Cory. you've alluded to a real dilemma dO i continue buying more guitars or do i save up for my kid's education.... hrmmmmmmmm....
Save money for their education and make your kids buy your guitars
@@TheNeuroticGuitaristThis is so enlightening it's not even funny!!!! I just showed my daughter this... she now has life goals 🤣🤣🤣
The man who inspired me to pick up a guitar 4 decades ago was B. B. King. That 59 dot is THE holy grail for me.
It is definitely a holy grail period! Thanks for watching, I'm gonna take it the 335 wins for you?
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist the 335 is just the one. That burst. The lines of the body. The SOUND.
@@kennethwatson4489 it's also dead mint which just makes me smile!
@TheNeuroticGuitarist made me smile too!
@@kennethwatson4489 thanks as always for your support dude!
Dang I’d love to have one of those ES335 🥰
They're what dreams are made of Chad! Thanks for watching, please subscribe and join the madness 🙌
Wow - First Comment! Such rarified air!! Really dig both of these guitars - do you like filet mignon or lobster better? I'll take Surf & Turf please!! Both sound amazing and less "woody" than mine - a 1971 Cherry #S 335. Bought it through a friend who worked at an insurance company, was 1994, after the 1993 floods in Missouri. Got a call saying - "you like guitars, a Gibson ES 335 is up for auction - are they any good?" I got it for $302! Love it, wish it was one of the two you have there tough. BTW - awesome playing by both of you on this terrific video. ROCK ON BENNY!
Thanks so much dude! A 71 335 for 302 bucks! Damn sir, that's a deal for the ages! That's amazing. Thanks for watching, I def had a blast making this video
It shows. Great playing and amazing sounding guitars!! And big smiles all around!
The 335 is one of the most versatile guitars out there. Love them!
You and me both Aaron! Subscribe and join the madness and thank you for watching
Fark!!
At the start l thought they were both reissues!!!
That Dot tho!!
(Ill Swap me Epiphone Dot for it....Ill even bung in a gig bag).
Edit: Do more jammin if ya can Benny, enjoyed it!
Never!!! The real deal brother! All day everyday. There will certainly be more jams in the future. Which one did you like the most?
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist The Dot mate, gold hardwares not my go (but ld take it!!)..
Both sounded excellent, l still can't get over the cond they were in!
I've had a strum on an old Gretsch & a 59(?) Melody Maker... that was 'worn in/out'.
Lucky bloke...not jealous at fkn all!!!
@@baabaabaa2293 I am definitely lucky! That 335 is a time capsule. I've never seen another one in THAT condition. The 355 is def no slouch either. They only made 177 Mono 355s in 59 so she's an even rarer bird!
Option A, The Burst. Carry on.........
🎸🔥😜👆👆
a 5150 is a Childs amp... get a plexi or a nice tweed in there to hear what those guitars can really do
5150 is literally my favorite amp? You're calling EVHs amp, and yeah, he used stock 5150s , a child's amp? Gonna have disagree with you because I have plexis and I'd take a 5150 all day over a vintage plexi.
Damn your collection is sick
Thanks so much veronica, a lot of time and effort has gone into it!
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist it shows and I can feel your passion through my headphones!
Always preferred them over the les Paul. Better sound, better weight, and far better upper fret access. I suppose the only people who cannot play these are shorter people with the wider 16inch body. In that case the les Paul would be the better option
It's all about what inspires you to want to play it. I'm equal opportunity, I love my les Paul's but obviously the ES' do it for me! Subscribe and join the madness and thanks for watching!
Took the chains off to play these Benny 😂 Super guitars as always. 😎
I took the chains off my entire trip I filmed so people would stop bitching...they'll def be back. Which one wins for you chris???? Thanks for watching, my friend 🙏
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist I’d have to go with the cherry “watermelon” with the bigsby Benny. Not that I could afford either. I don’t have a 335 in my collection but you never know 😁
Overall I probably prefer the 335 since the pickups seem a little less brash, but both are amazing. And that 335 neck pup! Holy balls that's amazing. Which feel better to you Bennie? Nicely done!
They both feel amazing. I have been playing that 335 for 20 years but the 355 feels right at home. Both 10/10
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist you're not helping quash my desire for a vintage 335. You're officially part of the problem, dude. 🤨🤣
@@adamgray8009 I'm def the problem. More is more
Burst is my favorite!😊
335 for the win!
Oh B-B-B-BABY !!! I love them there those ES models !! I see a ' Crest ' hiding back there too !...Ive got a Cherry ES-335 from the early 2000's , I bought it when I became a dental technician ( wow almost a doctor ! ), I am so glad I was curious about the 335 and was impulsive enough to say" FUgg it ! " and just buy it ! Thanks Benny !
Ethan, those guitars are just the bees 🐝 knees. Whether you like how they look or not, they are some of the best sounding guitars on the planet! Sounds like you scored a gem brother. Rock on! 🤘 thank you for watching. Please subscribe and join the madness. 🙌
I’ll take the Mono, pretty amazing to find a …64 year old guitar, that looks like that😳,
gotta a question, Bennie. But your closeup….I couldn’t see any checking…..
what influences finish “Checking” you have seen/owned tons of Gibsons with Nitro finishes, I have that 66 SG junior, I’ve verified it’s a 66’. There is NO checking, I also have a ‘59 TV special…..it has checking, most 60’s Gibsons I’ve ever seen have Checking, can you do a video on that? Or too geeky even for you🤣
It's almost completely from changes in climate, in particular the relative humidity. So if you have a guitar that lives in 45-55% RH 100% of the time it'll never check at all. After years and years it rare to see no checking, both of those guitars have some although extremely minor considering, so they were probably both case queens and lived at a place like California vs Arizona where it might be dry constantly.
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist well then thank you for that! Wish I had your space and budget….😉
I bought it at a shop 2 miles from the CA beach, in 1995? $500. Then I lived about that far away from the beach, for 8 years, but it mostly stayed in its case while I had it then, because the neck had a cross warp, finally in 2006, a guy made it playable
It’s weird, it looks to me like it was also a case queen, very few bumps and bruises, no buckle or stand rash. Yet the frets were shot, and I’ve had it refretted.
But at this point it’s been here in the high desert, dry
I rarely play it now because it’s a loud rocker, with an SD JB. In it….and I’m playing neck PU jazz and Latin lately on a 2017 Revstar . But 2016-2018 I played the SG daily and it’s stored in a very consistent temp., under my bed on a carpeted cement slab floor
My ‘59 is in an even better place, it’s problem is the neck was broken twice and poorly fixed both times. Amazingly I found a guy named Milt Owen 1980, he was one of the men building TV specials for Gibson in 1959. He did a miraculous epoxy repair job on it, the neck heel was just shards. Great action, but the scale length changed, because the neck angle changed. Sadly mine was the last guitar he fixed, colon cancer😓
Plus I love soapbars, but hate hum…..I do need to drag it out and play it, both of these guitars have more than tripled in value, despite my changes.
$350 for the ‘59, in 1979….investments !😄
fukkin sweet dude..xo
Which one wins for you?
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist both of course...
I would remove the Bigsby. Otherwise the 355 rocks!
Yeah, you might remove it but I'd never remove a factory anything from a 59 gibson. let's devalue it 5k in 2 mins. just saying, get a different guitar bro. walk away from the 355 and the bigsby
my ES 335 blows away my les Paul R9 in tone
1 100% believe it!
9:17 les paul guy right there! , looking for input jack😁 , 335 not on the side, but top😁
you 15 got a job in guitar shop..? very cool , when i was 15 , i walk into a local music store, looking at those gibson les paul ,the salesman said :thats not for you bro, lets go to look import guitar section ok , thats suck.. and when turn 18, i got my driver license, i walking into Porsche dealer , look at that 911 , reading car spec , but still no salesman talk to me , thats suck again , god dammit! 😅
Dude, I know the deal! They've done that to me, too! When i was 15 they were definitely like "don't let people play the expensive guitars." I used to judge people for myself who I'd allow to play the les pauls, but we definitely didn't have anything close to this caliber. I find total amusement in stuff like the input jack because I'm sure someone's having a heart attack but the thing is they're my guitars to do whatever with! People need to stop judging books by their cover. Did you ever end up getting a porsche?
@@TheNeuroticGuitarist at 18 age? no , but 5,6 years later i did bought a secondhand 2006 CARRERA S from my old boss , 3 year later then sold the car , and thats only car i ever owned , because where i living not really need a car and too expensive to own a car , so spend money on guitar more fun i guess .
@@bukwok the Carrera s is badass! Where do you live again?
@@TheNeuroticGuitaristopposite side of the world, hong kong and japan , thats explained why my english so poor.
@@bukwok your English is great! I couldn't speak a word of Japanese! The closest I get is Marty Friedman 🤪 do you know who shota Nikoma is?
Dude where do you get those racks? I have a 7 guitar rack but idk if it’s nitro safe so I always leave my gibsons in the case but damn I wanna look at them sometimes 😂
You can buy them anywhere, Amazon, Sam Ash, Sweetwater. I have never had a problem with the nitro on any of my guitars.
