Visually, I don’t really miss the binding on this one. 🤷‍♂️

I'll ding up my own for that kind of dough! thanks Trog!

Sounds absolutely killer

The secret to non-wire ABR-1 back in the olden days, was once you had it setup, a dab of shellac will keep the saddles and screws in place. Shellac is nice, because it easily cleans off with alcohol.

Really sounds great. I too would prefer an unsullied one - not because of up charge, but I prefer a new guitar to look new.

Get ultra light. No dings still better feeling lacquer. My ‘23 ml 355 is the best sounding/playing guitar I’ve ever touched, and I’ve played a Lot of guitars. My ml r9 honestly fights for play time now. Still looks new, (*if they do the aging right) lacquer checking doesn’t have any of those long ugly checking lines, just micro-checked like real vintage lacquer. Can’t see it unless it’s against the light. Google a few real 59 ES guitars ull see what I mean. They def won’t all be like that but they do exist. These recent ones really are pretty special. Cheers!

That neck must feel awesome. My ‘59 ES-335 reissue measures 1” deep at the 12th fret. I really want to try a ‘58 at some point. I like my dots. Lol

Nice guitar! I had a Gibson Custom Shop 61 reissue with the slim taper profile neck. I had to sell it because life just sometimes sucks. I don’t think I’ll ever be in a position to get one again but if I could, I would get another in a heartbeat.

Thanks Trogly. These vids are a true resource for the future. As happy owner of a 87 LPCustom Lite I can tell you: for many slightly obscure models the Trogly vids are the only source for many of the original details.

That's the nicest guitar Trogly has had on in a while, very nicely aged

David, Congrats Sir, nice 335. I really love the neck profile of these. 👍

Gorgeous 1958 ES-335 Triburst Reissue with "light" Murphy aging for David! Custombuckers sound awesome too! Bonus: complete centre block and no binding or nibs. Amber switch tip rocks. (Parent's house must be getting full to the rafters by now.)

Thank you David!!😊😅

I always liked the feeling of ''bindingness'' guitars - it's like a better connection of your hand with the neck and sensing an instrument deeper.. those 1958 335s are awesome) and the aging in this particular one is so convincing!)

She's a beaut, Dave! Thanks for loaning it to Austin for a great review & demo! Love that neck pup!

I haven't collected any of these guitars. I have explorers, LP.s, firebird, V's, SG's.specials, melody makers,jrs, So I guess my next purchase maybe 335 or something along those lines. They are definitely beautiful guitars.

It sounds amazing, from the very first few notes you played. Also, gotta love a dot neck 335!

The 52 gold top is why I'd like a gold top Tribute with P90's. Pretty close in appearance minus the bridge but I think they look cool.

Medium relic job for sure, nothing mild about it. Looks great though.

Are the tooling marks on the edges of the fretboard part of the relic process?

I set my watch to Trogly videos.

beautiful guitar and tone - great review

What a fantastic 335! And yes the pickups should be unpotted. There is an art to controlling the feedback when you play. It gives a sound you can't have with potted pickups. Listen to Mr. 335 himself Larry Carlton doing "Point It Up" live where the 335 sings at pure bliss. A sound you can't forget.

I bet you'll coming out with a video that Gibson did a few days ago touring the Gibson Custom Shop, some pretty nice stuff to see there! Hope they'll do a gallery thing where we can see one offs/M2Ms that normally would almost never see the light of day otherwise

Hi Trogly, what sort of Amp do you use, do you use the same on every guitar you show us? Do you use any effect paddles? Greetings from germany.

Very nice!!

Beautiful ' tri burst works well, I'd go amber tip, but those tones '

I've always maintained that patina should be earned. Factory aging is just Ick. I WANT a clean version of this. I love it.

Sounds awesome

There's also a Memphis made one from a couple of years ago. Mick of That Pedal Show has one

I have one of those dreaded 2015 gibsons, a studio, it's so badly made the neck wasn't cut correctly, it was sliced diagonally which mean the tuners don't line up. It's the most vibrating guitar I've played, I've kept it over a 90s standard and a 2010 custom , it just sounds great, it's so badly made that about every month I have to lossen and tighten the truss coz it vibrates in the neck... the guitar is a real pain but it is one that I won't sell.

I like 335s. Especially this color

Salutations Austin! Very nice ‘58 Reissue ES-335, I especially like the lack of binding on the neck and no fret nibs, 15:54 however, I am with you, I would rather have the option of not having it aged by the Murphy Lab at an extra premium price, it would be much better to me to have it just like a brand new guitar and have it age naturally, I tend to take fairly good care of my guitars, and I definitely rather save the extra $1500 dollars for them to leave it alone. It sounds great, as is, but if someone wants different pickups, there are so many options available to suit just about anyone, personally, I might prefer the’57 Classic set, but there might not be much difference in sound quality, however, the newer versions with four (4) conductor wires do offer the option of coil splitting, however that also requires having it custom wired, which is what I would prefer to spend extra expenses on, more bells and whistles, not on premature aging. Thanks for sharing! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨🎸

What cleaners do you like to use on your fretboards and your guitars?

Sounds great!🎶🎸👍

Completely magical sounding! A total dream guitar! You sound even better on this than a Tele Trogly. I’m convinced, someday an ES335!

What song is he playing at the begining of demo? Just before Bowie, it sounds famillar.

Seen a few gibson hollowbody guitars from this era; definitely looks the part. One of the better aging jobs I've seen from them.

I've always held the belief that 335's are pretty much the perfect guitar. I've had mine since the early 90's & I love it. They have such a lovely warm tone. Got a 'like' for playing Ziggy too.

Looks good on you

Bought one of these recently! Best 335 I've ever played. I've heard the white tips are for shipping and the amber tips are for when the guitar has sold. Who knows!? Team amber all day.

Why does Gibson do the matching up of different woods to contribute to one body. The "sandwich": as it's called?

Unpotted pickups. Did you get them to squeal, and if so at what volume and under what conditions?

I don’t understand the whole aging thing and the corresponding pricing. Not saying I don’t like the look of a worn in guitar but I wanna wear it in myself. If I’m gonna spend many thousands of dollars on a brand new guitar it had better get to me looking like a brand new guitar.

Good show

That is a particularly beautiful sounding guitar.

Sounds good. I’d probably get a non Murphy Lab Epi tho coz those prices are crazy. Mr Trogly have you thought about using a looper pedal in your sound demos? Col, the Guitarista guy uses one and anyway just a thought Cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘

Sounds awesome, but I'd prefer the Pup's wax potted. Looks fantastic decent job aging, I'd agree with Troggy that they should sell a unaged new '58 reissue too along with the others as a option.....👍

Wow Trogly your guitar plsying has really improved. Nice guitar! 😊

Damn, Trogly must be a real fan of Top gear, love that intro riff from the show, although idk if the riff comes from other song

I can see the Murphy Lab is getting better in aging but, somehow the shine on the lacquer doesn't look quite right yet, could just be that VOS gunk throwing it off or on it or it's still a bit too shiny, kind of missing the 'eggshell' vibe if you know what I mean. But still it looks like a killer guitar, what a beauty!

They need to get those truss rod covers rolled baby.

I played the blonde one at a shop. These are great

I'm not experienced in this stuff at all, but it looks well used in the video.

I do not like aged guitars at all but that guitar sounds damn good ❤

Hi. Have you ever had one?

In my opinion that's a really nice light aged, then heavy aged should be like that with a little lacquer wear in the playing parts. Makes me realise that the heavy aging is not that great

I actually prefer no neck binding IF there's no binding on the headstock. So i love the Studio's, especially with ebony fretboards. And of course I love the customs, with binding everywhere! But binding on the neck but no headstock binding....no thanks. So this 335 is sweet to my eyes!!!

For a 335, that is a beauty. I prefer the 339s personally, but that's just me.

I need you in my band!

Eight Gs for the blonde finish, and we all thought the new Epiphones were expensive 😅 Edit: I personally prefer the 60s style small block inlays on a 335, but dots on a 339. Weird huh.

I need to rob a bank or something. My God that thing sounds incredible. Congratulations to whoever got that one.

I believe all guitars should have the input Jack on the edge instead of the front! IMO!

Honestly, the 335 looks better without the neck binding. Especially in that Tri Burst Finish.

8:09 - Non-aged. Yes, yes, yes! And neck binding *isn’t* a premium if you don’t like it.

Evening all!!

Wow

While they have a full feeling profile - it is NOTHING like a Custom Shop Baseball bat neck

None of my 4 335s have the bridge fully routed out either, just a hole for wiring. I assumed that was normal.? Then agian there all very late 59 to early 60's construction. Regardless, that Dot sounds great 👍

I love the sound of both pick ups and the bridge by itself. The neck isn't bad it just sounds a little muddy. All in all David picked up a nice example. Thanks again forsharing it with us. I love the optional switch tips and usually prefer the ambered tip. But I agree the clean tip looks better on this ms guitar. Thanks for playing some Ziggy Stardust for us I'll be on my latest Studio I purchased after seeing it hear . No doubt plugged into the Spark 40 with the gain about 3 quarters the way up. Oh what and I'll have to also relearn that Allman brothers tune also. Who knows maybe Trogs could learn a little Eric Carmen and the Rasberrys as a tribute . Hint hint. Best bet for getting a highly resonate guitar first of all seek out models that are commonly resonate and try as many as you can before you pick one out.

If you get a chance to get a Gibson Firebird X you should get one to review. That is if you can find one that Gibson left out there. If you can find one that was run over, it would be OK by me.

This was recorded a few weeks back. Jessica just popped out on one of the guitars so I used it on a few of the upcoming demos.

I'll stick with my epiphone 335. It's got a 57 classic in the neck, and a vintage superdistortion in the bridge

I still have a hard time wrapping my head around paying more for an "aged" guitar, unless it is a reproduction of a famous player's guitar like Terry Cath's teleocaster or EVH's Frankenstrat. Does anyone do this to furniture or cars or motorcycles or anything else but jeans and guitars?

Reliced furniture is indeed a thing. Fancy car shows are starting to have a “barn find” category where refurbishing is not allowed, just as-is condition. Not for everyone, but we’re certainly not hurting for choices otherwise in the guitar world if it’s not your thing.

@brushstroke3733

@@legomywallet630 Interesting. Thanks for informing me of things I was unaware of. I would think "barn finds" may appeal to both people who like things as they are, along with all their accumulated character, and those who want to restore a car to their own preferences. It's still a little different than taking a new car and aging it, but it wouldn't surprise me if that was a thing these days. As you, there are options for all of us, and I don't begrudge anyone getting whatever they like. The one thing that seems similar to me are reproduction artifacts or works of ancient art. When we make and buy these, we make and buy reproductions of the works as they currently stand, not as they once might have been. For example, we wouldn't want a reproduction Roman statue covered in paint as they may have originally been. We'd want one that looks like plain marble, even with appendages "broken" off if that's what the original looks like now.

I din’t love the tri, but it sounds good; fat neck sure doesn’t hurt

Beautiful, sounds great love a baseball bat neck

Amber goes with the paint better

Gibson doesn't make 3 tone SB that's fender. Gibson doesn't make limited anything

Amber tip team

Looks way better without binding IMHO
