So, it's my 41st birthday on the 14th of this month and my wife says I can get another Gibson ES-335 in Cherry, brand new. So I'm really excited. The only other Guitar in this price range that I've wanted to own for years is a Gretsch Duo Jet with the Bigbsy. So the big question is, which one do I get?



Get a 335 with a Bigsby and enjoy a little of both worlds? :mrgreen:

Thanks for the great advice, it gave me plenty to think about. I ordered the 335 this morning and it should be in at the end of next week. :)

having owned both in the past I would definitely buy the 335....that said, if you can get your hands on a late '60s Guild Starfire..grab that baby and run for all your worth! :wink:


You mean something like this? My baby, she's a one owner. I'll be sure to keep an eye on her is you're ever around. :)

You should be very happy with the 335... Guild electrics (hollow and solid) still remain to be the best kept secret in the guitar world... :lol:

That Starfire is gorgeous!!


As an aside, I have a Dot. Oddly I modded mine away from the Gibson sound and more into the Gretsch territory, by swapping the pickups to some TV Jones Filtertron variations.


It was a treat to find one with an ebony fretborad too... :lol: It was $1300 US total shipped...
