I started a thread a couple of weeks ago about my plan to buy either a Gibson ES-335 or a Gretsch Duo Jet.

The thread for this can be found here:http://www.fender.com/community/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=68534&sid=aac47df9b7edf6f62edc3086c5b33859
Today, being my birthday, I picked up my 2011 Gibson ES-335 Dot Re-issue in Cherry with the figured top. Needless to say, I love it!

Everyone needs at least one strat and one 335. Love those in red.

Why do those guitars always look "right" in red?

Beautiful axe--Happy New Guitar Day!

You picked a cherry. Well done! I'm sure the grain on that top is gorgeous just doesn't show too well in the pics.

They do look right in red. I don't know if it is because the three most famous 335 were red (Chuck Berry, Clapton, Freddie King), or because B.B. owns that body style in Black. I know lately Clapton had been using a bust one and it just doesn't look right. That would be like seeing B.B. King with a purple one. As much as I wanted one in a sunburst the red one just felt right.

So yeah everyone needs a sunburst strat and a red 335.

Thanks everyone.

I must admit that I had a number of Guitarists in mind when choosing this Guitar and it's colour. Alvin Lee, Eric Clapton, John Mayer, Chuck Berry (Michael J Fox :)) to name but a few. This Guitar does look so right in Cherry.

I have to admit torresfan that first picture is giving me fits. I keeps waiting for someone to open the door and have it go crashing down.

Nice guitar you have there. Truly a beatiful guitar. Looks like Jimmy Fallon's guitar minus the white finish. Although I could never justify buying a guitar like this, I do like looking at one. What kind of amp do you have or do you just collect?

Beautiful. I wouldn't put it on the floor like that. Any dirt or sand could scratch it.


Yup, those oak floors are prone to scratches.
Seriously, though, your pix are superb, torresfan (and Torres was good tonight I thought)
