I was browsing through the free copy of Guitar Afficianado on the iPad when I came, across this.

Slightly misleading advert, particularly as 5 of them aren't known at all for playing 335's.

Okay, I'm being very picky, and the play either 345's, 355's or other 335-based semis, but hey. :lol:

As a sidenote, I would so love if Gibson made the block inlays standard again. Only 335 I ever had was a rather ancient example with the blocks, I can't stand the dot markers - they just look so wrong for that guitar in my opinion.

It would be cool to see a similar layout with a Strat and/or Tele and notable players of those particular axes...Photoshop Phiends, do you hear me? :wink:

This ad caught my eye because it's so tastefully done, less is more. I'd love to see some with Fenders or even some Rickys.

Too late I realise this can only be an exercise in offending all the people who's names I haven't put on there. Hey, that's most of us, including me, folks!

...Huh. I'll get my coat. :(

Cheers - C

That's awesome...and the first time I've been classified as noteworthy...usually I'm more in the "notorious" category! :lol:
I really don't have the skill to be counted in that esteemed group, but there better not be anybody try to take me off off of it! :twisted:

What's funny is that they're actually proud of the fact Noel Gallagher is associated with one of their instruments.

Ok Ceri...I am offended... you left Nevin off the list! He is a Legend! Just kidding, you may not be a PS fiend, but that was a classy thing to do, nice job!

Yeah, I know... :oops:

The minute I posted it I thought; "Uh-oh, what have I done?" The way to look at it is this:

There are few more notable players of the Gibson ES-335 than Eric Clapton, from the Cream era to now. I saw him on TV playing a 335 just recently, and Gibson have built him custom models for his Cream reunion shows and I think done sig issues too. So when Eric looks at that ad and doesn't find his name on it he might be forgiven for saying; "Sheesh - what's a guy have to do...?"

:lol:

Cheers - C
