I have a never ending love for 335’s and any of it’s derivatives, and this video shows exactly why. You can rock it hard if you want, but you can get subtle and sweet tones. Also they’re beautiful guitars.
The black burst with a cream binding just catch my eye everytime i see it . Im not fan of Satin finish but this one looks cool ... semigloss or full gloss for me tho
@@edwinstovall3334 Silicon tubing with a diameter of 4 or 5mm (depending on the tubing itself). Places selling aquarium supplies or home brewing stuff should have it, loads of sellers on EBay too. Place it over the shafts of the pots and you can easily pull them into place again.

@@edwinstovall3334 The truth is that the electronics in an electric guitar (and most amps) are SHOCKINGLY low tech. I think people get in their minds that "technology is daunting" and difficult but in the case of changing a pickup or a capacitor--there is really NOT that much to it. A wire and a dot of solder. Most of these parts initially (back in the 50s) were made from parts intended for other industries. Telephones, record players, cars, radios. Very low tech.
Arterial as a color refers to the bright red color of oxygenated blood being delivered to the tissues of the body from the heart versus venous which is a dark red almost brownish color due to deoxygenation and the rbcs carrying carbon dioxide. Your medical fun fact for the day.
So disappointed to see the gaff by Gibson regarding pick ups. I bought the ES335 Burst from demo shop this week because the add stated it would have Alinico 3’s in it
Dr. Trogly! Gotta say, I too have experienced the "Emotional Buyer" syndrome. It is sometimes part of the progression as a result of being afflicted with GAS syndrome. Great content (IMHO)
I’m a sucker for 335’s. My favorite guitar. Funny enough, while I love this one, I feel like I’ve seen this one of blues clues. Not actually, but the color and burst plus satin finish, would fit perfectly on the show.
I told you it would be a bloody good time! Sweet Axe, I like the satin finish. I had a 335 with the pick ups you were supposed to get and I had to sell it. I still haven’t gotten over it. I hope Gibson sends them to you I thought they sounded great.
quite often it is very hard to tell how wide the burst gradient is in photos and on video. it would be nice for you to demonstrate somehow how gradual or abruptly the burst begins and ends.
omggggg I had bought a standard from the demo shop like two weeks ago and just checked the box in the garage and it had the ornament. I wouldn’t have ever noticed until it was time to break it down.
I bought a floor model PRS from Sweetwater at an incredible discount. It was discounted because of a few tiny dings on the binding that looked somewhat noticeable in the pictures but nothing that made it undesirable in any way. When it got to my house, I couldn't find the dings at all. In regular lighting they just don't even show up. Those deals are amazing.when you can find them. Open box or whatever.
My first e guitar was a ES-335 too Austin. My parents bought that and a Fender Twin custom having Altec Lancing speakers. After that, 1 real Tellicaster. After them, I built my stuff and never went back. I kept making my own electric guitars better then their stuff. I even made speaker cabinets better-suited for my sound systems. Now I do have some PA amps rated at 350, 750 and a 1,000 watts of amplifier madness. I still might still want my 750 for the recording studio I built then remodeled or decided to change a board or mixer. Equipment does get old. I'm moving my prototype Telli and changing it's look to something more tasteful and something new for a 5-string bass using a 32" inch scale instead of 34" like Fender's P-bass. I share pictures of them in the raw state, I'm still carving my neck stock. The bodies are just on the carpet. That's what I like doing. That guitar, your new red 335 was supposed to work best with the original Jenson speakers. Not Altec's, but JBL's D123e built in the 70s then the 2130 JBL had made a loud improvements that I liked the best with a small 50 watt head using EL-34s and the ES-335 is gone. But I'm making a ES-175 Floraltine horn with Flowtron pickups, plus a Bigsby Bar all in brass and Angerburst colors, my first of maybe smaller? I just need to think when my first 10 are done?
I'm with a lot of folks in the comments. Keep that guitar. You're gonna see many more money making opportunities in the future. You don't always run across a guitar that tickles you as hard as this one did. It sounds great. It looks great, and it suits you. You know how sometimes a guitar will just inspire you to write and play. I have a suspicion that this one will have that effect on you. KEEP IT
Geez, I enjoy your guitar reviews because normally they don’t cause me to say, “Yeah, I want one!” But this one, this review is causing my GAS to go into overdrive and I’m trying to seeing how I can swing a new 335 into my budget.
Question: I know the Demo Shop doesn't ship to Canada but does Gibson ship directly to customers in Canada? I'd like to order me a Mod Collection guitar one day :P
@@Trog your a great guy..I dream of buying a gibson from u in the future...I will say Austin people trust you and your past experiences..you've come a long way bud
Yeah me too... Looking to get a DC Special Tribute but didn't quite like the solid colours on offer so far from the mod/demo shop. Would prefer something with a more natural though unique finish.
Finally, he gets why those of us who love 335's dig them so much. They have such a lovely, big warm tone to them & if this one could get old Trogly to play like that, I'd say that tells you everything you need to know lol. I've had a '90 335 for almost 30 years now & I'd never part with mine. Great find Austin man!
I’m not too particular about finish colors, it’s all about feel and sound to me and that guitar seems like a keeper to me... I would play the crap outta that thing...well done Trogly!!!
I have no idea what I'm talking about.... But couldn't you replace the pick ups and leave existing the wiring. i.e. Break the solder at the pickups and resolder to the replacement pickups?
I usually don't care for semi-hollow guitars and have yet to buy one, but this one really looks great! I still won't buy one, but now it's because pickup-swapping is so close to impossible! That doesn't mean that pickup-swapping is necessary for this guitar; its pickups are probably just fine or better, but I usually look at these things with mods in mind. Regardless, this guitar really seems special. Mark my words, Austin -- you're NOT selling that one! I'D keep it, and you like it better than I do!
Some of these do have a back plate, mostly artist signature models… but the plate sits on top of the back since you really can’t route in a rabbit on the thin wood.
That is beautiful, If I could have a signature model it would be this ES, with the 345 split inlays with one on the first fret, also. Tone pro's brass roller bridge, And I know, boo hiss, Emg Zakk Wilde 81 and 85's. With the 24 volt mod. I have a 64 set up like that and it is amazing. The guitar howls, screams and has the most crystal clear clean tones. I have always wished that i could have heard Roy Clark, play through a set of EMG's and a Mark lV. To swap the pick-ups, Tie a string around the shaft of the pot, then pull it through, swap and pull it back,it's easy. Mason line works well.
If I was going to actually enter the market for a true Gibson 335, I think I would choose a solid color with different inlay. The dot inlay to me just seems real common, and I'm not sold on either the satin finish or that arterial burst.
Men's untold truth: the closer you get to your 30's and past 30's the more you expend on nostalgia. I'm 30. And i recovered from a really really bad financial life in the past 3 years. And i must say. I expended quite a bit this year ahahahaha. Great guitar and video Austin. Enjoy your memories and this guitar. (In my opinion It is a keeper)
Some strats and Teles have that color, although it is called antique burst by squire.Tiesco also had that guitar color many years ago. It is my favorite burst but you can only seem to find it on cheap guitars. 🤔
Shocking that Gibson mis-list the (PuP) specifications. Good that they've corrected their error by sending out replacements as advertised... though it'll be a PITA to fit them (or expensive to have them fitted). On the upside, the stock T-types do, however, sound pretty cool!
I know what you mean even though my first SG was a cheap knock off I still have a love for them. I spent a lot of time tweaking that guitar to get it where it was decently playable. Adversity when I saw th61 reissue you had I decided to buy it. When I saw they Pelham blue model you had on your sight although it looked gray on my end. I was pleasantly surprised. I've seen things painted that color or a shade of that color and didnt like it . I didnt know how good it looked in person. I've been picking on it since the day it was delivered. I'm jealous though of that 335. I have a red dot pro that is all red . But that one you have looks awsome. I think they should've done the whole guitar where the black is on the guitar it looks like the red is bleeding through or peeking through as you said about the area on the headstock. That guitar you reviewed is the kind of guitar you'll want to roll your knobs back a little and use a floor volume gain pedal.
Whenever trogly talks about Pokémon, I remember he’s prob at least 8 years younger than me. I forget because he looks 10 years older than me 😂….love u trog
I realize it kind of depends on an individual's personality type--if you are a "buy a totally different tool for every single need" kind of guy then you are likely puzzled by those who love 335s. If you are a the kind of guy who loves a multitasker (carries a Leatherman in your pocket) then the 335 is for sure your guitar. Likely the single most versatile guitar ever made. Is it better than a LP for Lp tones? No but you can get LP tones. Is it better than a Gretch for Gretch tones? Nope but they are in there. I can go on and on but you get it--a very very versatile guitar and #1 on my list of "if you could only have one electric"
Something I don't get. I get that the pickup readings are Ohms which are measures of resistance. Why do higher readings mean hotter pickups? Seems like it would be the other way around.
The theory is that more wire = more turns = hotter, but also more wire = more resistance since resistance is a function of length. So basically "more resistance = more turns = hotter". In truth there are other factors like magnet and bobbin geometry but it's the quick and dirty 'this should be hotter' test. Usually it works.
I think you should start a reverse trade Tuesday. You start with this guitar and see how long it takes you trade to something worth almost nothing. I will give a tennis ball for it.
It's so easy to change pickups on ES-335.. all you do is tie a thin long string to the potentiometer... the entire procedure shouldn't take any more than 30 minutes
Nice of them to make it right on the pickups (again), I wonder if there was a miscommunication between the people doing the demos/mods and the people posting them on Reverb or their website. StewMac sells a tool for putting pots and what not back into these f-hole guitars, or just tie fishing line around the pots before you take them out, the volume pots don’t look that bad on this, the tone controls and the jack though… I once had to re-wire a Japanese (Lyle brand?) hollow 335 shaped bass where the jack was in the side… that was a difficult job since nothing reached that far.
Good on Gibson for trying to sort out their quality control. Sounds like a great way to get a discounted Gibson if your going to play it and get it scratched up anyways.
Yeah this finish is absolutely killer honestly I prefer this offer the teardrop it just looks awesome and that thing rocks well too. Burstbucker or semours and it will be a very very good axe
Trogly get some surgical tubing and put it on the ends of the pots makes fishing them much easier.If you still have trouble put a piece of wire coat hanger in the tube . Makes it very easy.
That's a pretty sick 335! Also, if the Trogly's Gaming Show bit wasn't a joke, I'd absolutely be down for that. I absolutely loved Shining Diamond, and I love watching people share in that same sorta sense of nostalgia
My very first electric guitar was a 1973 Hondo II I purchased that same year. It was shaped like an SH, had a Firebird style headstock and was the same red burst as this ES he reviewed. And yes, that is what it reminded me of as well.
Oxygen, oxygen -Trogly likes a rim burst!! LP Studio LE Black Cherry Burst, identical. 61s' are pretty hot, too compressed for me - those T-Types really sing open. Split screen on the demo, pertty cool. Ü
I'm a Les Paul guy, but god damn is that the most perfect and beautiful ES-335 I've EVER seen!, and it sounds amazing on top of it!. It would make a great sibling to my Slash Vermillion burst Les Paul!
His RUclips Channel was originally all about Gaming! it was many years ago that he pulled the gaming videos off his site. Pretty cool though, a man of many talents!
Austin, its not often we witness such enthusiasm from you for a new guitar! Glad you were actually moved by this instrument, if only all of them could be like that. Congrats
That finish reminds me of a cheap Japanese ES-335 copy from the 60's in the absolute best way possible.
I have a never ending love for 335’s and any of it’s derivatives, and this video shows exactly why. You can rock it hard if you want, but you can get subtle and sweet tones. Also they’re beautiful guitars.

I’ve replaced pickups, harnesses and pots many times on 335’s, and honestly once you’ve done it correctly, it’s not difficult or time-consuming.
I doubt that I'll use it, but is there a RUclips video on the subject? Even if I don't use the info, I'm curious.

The 335 body style is a work of art.
Hi Austin, I realize this is 4 months later but I was wondering what Gibson did about installing the wrong pickup on this guitar.
I don't recall, have you done any demo/reviews of any guitars with the burstbucker 61s? Thanks.
Reminds me of one of my favorite guitars: a Harmony Rocket in redburst. Great color scheme.
Some strats and Teles have that color, although it is called antique burst by squire.Tiesco also had that guitar color many years ago. It is my favorite burst but you can only seem to find it on cheap guitars. 🤔

Feet, Hands, whatever. Everyone has to start someplace!
so are you gonna list the 61's?
damn what week was this listed? I don’t remember seeing this or I would have bought it

Really dig the endoscope views, man. Great video.
Something I don't get. I get that the pickup readings are Ohms which are measures of resistance. Why do higher readings mean hotter pickups? Seems like it would be the other way around.
The theory is that more wire = more turns = hotter, but also more wire = more resistance since resistance is a function of length. So basically "more resistance = more turns = hotter". In truth there are other factors like magnet and bobbin geometry but it's the quick and dirty 'this should be hotter' test. Usually it works.
I think you should start a reverse trade Tuesday. You start with this guitar and see how long it takes you trade to something worth almost nothing. I will give a tennis ball for it.
Really nice 335 this. The colours really work well together with the binding and dark rosewood fretboard 😍😍
I have yet to play this style of guitar, but this one looks just lovely.
Wiring these really isn’t hard at all, I just installed push/pull pots on my 335, you just need patience
Never been keen on satin finishes, but all in all a nice guitar. The sound is very cool.
It's so easy to change pickups on ES-335.. all you do is tie a thin long string to the potentiometer... the entire procedure shouldn't take any more than 30 minutes
Is the comment section formatted weird for anyone else on iPad?
It does look a little different on my iPad, not the usual layout.
The es335 reminds me of the old Airline paint jobs. I would love to see it with some finish checking one day.
I think you got lucky not getting the BB61's. I can't stand the sound of the 61T and have removed it from my Standard.
Guitar hero is halfway responsible for buying one of the new white 70s Explorer
His laugh and chuckle kinda reminds me of Ed McMahon type. 😁😃

Unboxing and demo/review of the new dave Mustaine Gibson flying V’s?
I just love hearing your stories
Good on Gibson for trying to sort out their quality control. Sounds like a great way to get a discounted Gibson if your going to play it and get it scratched up anyways.
Are those Horns concentric ? Just asking
It was good of them to send the pickups. you commented comprehensively about how cheap they let the guitar go for...
Reminds me of the Signature Joan Jett 339 you reviewed, that unfortunately had a lot of QC issues per your demo.
Nice 335, the color scheme works well on it. Sounded pretty good too. Plus you got the bonus of the extra pickups!
Those are not studs, but rather bushings on that bridge.
Yeah this finish is absolutely killer honestly I prefer this offer the teardrop it just looks awesome and that thing rocks well too.
Burstbucker or semours and it will be a very very good axe
That’s a keeper.. I would hang on to that one. You can tell it’s a fine player. Plus, it’s gonna be cool looking as it ages.
You’re my guitar hero
Trogly get some surgical tubing and put it on the ends of the pots makes fishing them much easier.If you still have trouble put a piece of wire coat hanger in the tube . Makes it very easy.
burstbucker 61 are not an upgrade from t type IMO, but I understand your POV!
Oh, the Rush songs I would play on that thing. Austin, you're one lucky SOB. Congratulations. That is one fine instrument.
I wonder what the Burstbuckers would've sounded like compared to the T-types. Still sounded good in this demo anyway
That's a pretty sick 335! Also, if the Trogly's Gaming Show bit wasn't a joke, I'd absolutely be down for that. I absolutely loved Shining Diamond, and I love watching people share in that same sorta sense of nostalgia
HOT DAMN TROGLY TAPPING ! 🔥
I'm not a 355 type guy, but I gotta admit that looks really nice, almost a dark metal theme.
Totally gorgeous guitar. Cool gothic name. T-Tops sound good. Extremely minor blemish concerns. Great catch, well done!
it looks like a japanese 60’s teisco guitar! lol!
My very first electric guitar was a 1973 Hondo II I purchased that same year.
It was shaped like an SH, had a Firebird style headstock and was the same red burst as this ES he reviewed.
And yes, that is what it reminded me of as well.
Arterial Black? I put that tune on when I'm on the couch with my date, trying to make a move. Hasn't worked yet. Can't figure it out
Oxygen, oxygen -Trogly likes a rim burst!! LP Studio LE Black Cherry Burst, identical. 61s' are pretty hot, too compressed for me - those T-Types really sing open. Split screen on the demo, pertty cool. Ü
I'm a Les Paul guy, but god damn is that the most perfect and beautiful ES-335 I've EVER seen!, and it sounds amazing on top of it!. It would make a great sibling to my Slash Vermillion burst Les Paul!
You have so many guitars in your hands super expensive,hard to get,prototypes etc.I haven't seen you so stoked since the Nova guitar.
Dr. Trogly's Gaming Show has a nice ring to it! 😁
His RUclips Channel was originally all about Gaming!
it was many years ago that he pulled the gaming videos off his site.
Pretty cool though, a man of many talents!
I want that red / black swirl Explorer your character was playing in the cut away footage
Austin, its not often we witness such enthusiasm from you for a new guitar!
Glad you were actually moved by this instrument, if only all of them could be like that.
Congrats
man ive always wanted a flying v with the blue cracked lightning paintjob from guitar hero 1
Super Nice Guitar. I just picked up a 1989 ES335
This finish looks very similar to a Vintage Silvertone 1478 redburst..
Keep it.
