If only it had a better Case ....
I've been looking for a 335 for several years and almost bought a couple of others but always held off. I've been playing for 45 years and I'm not getting any younger and I saw this one that had all of the specs I was looking for, the Alnico III pickups and most importantly the '59 neck. So I called my enabler Justin Sunday down at Sweetwater and he set me up with a very good deal that I could not talk myself out of and overnight shipping to keep me from getting time to back out. Thank you Justin!!!
I've had the guitar for 3 months now and I've played it against each of my 8 guitars, Les Paul, SG, LPjr., 3 Telecasters, an Eric Johnson Stratocaster and '62 RI Strat. thru all my amps in various situations and it has won out. From home to stage she is my favorite even beating out my '52 RI Tele. The neck is comfortable, there isn't a bad fret or dead spot to be found, the pickups are to die for. And working the volume and tone knobs yield more voicings than any of my Gibson guitars could dream of. My only complaint is the case *SUCKS*. It is not a hardshell case, it is closer to a poodle case. And for what I spent on the guitar I hate to buy another case but I guess that's what I'm going to do. The last thing I want is a cracked headstock.
