    I was looking at 335s just recently. Came across a ‘78 Yamaha Super Axe. Said it’s got Alnico 3s in it. Thought!? Oh dear. Looked at Gibson Custom Shop. Alnico 3s. Four and a half grand. Yammy! £895. 40 yr old. Looks fabulous and plays fabulous. And of course more importantly it’s Japanese. Check them out. A few variations, but the SA 700 is based on the original 335. Robben Ford’s main axe for some time was an Epiphone. Not all about the name on the headstock!

    Is that versatility or is it just "it does its OWN thing so damn well, that who cares about anything else, and the thing it does works in almost any genre?". When I hear versatility, I am thinking, can get me a stratty or a les paul sound. Can the ES335 do stratty or lespaul sounds? No, TBH I mean, I love the 335, but I'm a Gretsch admirer, more than Gibson.

    My vote goes to the ES-345 as the most versatile guitar - because it's an ES-335 with Varitone (yes I know some people hate it but it does give some usable tones) and it's stereo (or mono if you like). Although for me the PRS 513 comes close too for versatility.

    I just took the plunge and bought an 2020 ES 335 in Natural Figured Antique, for my 70th birthday, (from Andertons) on the back of watching this vid and many hours of Jools guitarist Mark Flanagan. It sounds and looks amazing not to mention the lovely smell of nitro when you open the case, I am getting giddy ...

Still doesn’t say Gibson on the headstock but will tide me over for a while : )

    I’m not trying to argue but I think a strat is the least versatile guitar of all time, I think they all sound thin and brittle. With no pedals or cranked fender twins (louder than anyone wants to play) they all sound too basic. Their control wiring isn’t very versatile either. You can play an sg or a 335 straight into almost any amp and sound as good as any record ever. But then again maybe I just haven’t come across one that i love yet!

    Well done! I love the 335s. They have a true unique tone to them. You are not kidding there is a big difference between the Custom Shop and normal production guitars. I have a 60th R9 and the neck, fit and finish is and tone are out of this world. I also picked up a 2020 Trini Lopez '64 Reissue and it is phenomenal. I picked up a Wildwood Spec '63 ES-335. It's a Memphis shop but it's tone rivals the two customs. Fret work and neck are not quite the same though. If I get another Gibson, it will definitely be a Custom.

    I can't say how much I love my 335. It's an '81 dot in natural, which was passed on to me by my pop. I've never played a guitar that sounded better, at any price, and I've been playing a long time. If you can afford one at any of their various price ranges, you owe it to yourself to try one, no matter what genre of music you play. Heck, with the strides Epiphone is making, I wouldn't be surprised if theirs are great too. And they FINALLY fixed that bloody headstock.

    Spot on Video on 335s 😎 I’ve played all the 3 models: '59 - True Semi-hollow body sound with Gibson's characteristic tone '61 - Aggressive but pleasant sounding semi-hollow (my fav) '64 - Sounds & feels like a Les Paul aka Solid body but in a 335 format I was a Les Paul snoot but now appreciate and admire the versatility of a 335. Some times I feel, 335 is what a good Les Paul should sound like - rich with an acoustic halo. Cheers to Captain & Pete for sharing great observations, sound demos, acoustic quality and passionately making these videos! Love from India ❤

    Shout out to the ‘64. Got mine a year ago, my first semi-hollow. I couldn’t try out all 3 models for various reasons so I had to rely on video reviews that all sounded mediocre thru a tablet. I got the sense that the ‘64 had controllable bite if you need it and still have all the warmth. To my ears, the ‘59 had a bit more of the lower frequencies while the ‘61 sounded brighter. I did notice the nylon saddles on the ‘64 but didn’t give it much thought. I still haven’t personally played the other 2 models but I don’t regret picking the ‘64. The unwieldy (for the slight) body size gives me pause but the tones are worth it. Thankfully the ‘64 neck profile suits me well so it softens this misgiving.

    The first time I played one (25 years ago), I thought I was hearing TWO GUITARS. There is this amazing amount of separation of the sound of the strings. It's not just the PAF (classic 57's) pickups, it's the construction of the guitar. Play something like "Freewill" by RUSH on it. Tunes like that were designed for the the 335. Unfortunately, the production like 335's that Gibson is making now, have changed the pickups and the neck profile. Definitely look at the reissues rather than the 2020 design. Gibson is losing their minds by messing with this (not to mention discontinuing the 175 - which is another horrible thing).

    I owned a custom shop ES 335 Rich Robinson model a while back, while it played really nice I always had the feeling the ageing and period correctness were a bit over done. I ended up selling it and I bought a vintage '68 ES 330 for about the same amount. I still have that one ;-). In my opinion you can't really replicate that vintage feel of an old instrument that's been played for years, it always seems to be a bit contrived.
