New guitar day

[Platypus]

Always wanted a semi-hollow body axe.

Pulled the trigger on a Gibson ES-339, which for you guitar guys is a 335 but in a Les Paul size. This thing is just an unreal player. I traded a guitar pretty much even for it that I never play anymore (PRS custom) and I couldn't be happier. This guy just SINGS.

Axe

It's a plain top but this one had so much wood grain texture to it, it's almost figured in person. I'll get some clips of it up soon, for now I'm rocking out.


edit: thickness: Binding

 

[CraKaJaX]

Oh my god. I think I just creamed myself. That thing is gorgeous. Though I would also take a PRS custom too Remember that next time. :| Was it a straight up trade? Or did you have to add $?

Edit: What BG is on your left monitor? Would you link it?

nice:thumbsup:

 

[Saint Nick]

bah...I'd take my PRS over any Gibson any day

 

[Rockinacoustic]

Pretty

 

[JJChicken]

Nice! I wish I had a PRS though..Santana is so good with it

 

[Platypus]

I've owned 3 PRS guitars and played about 50 others.. they're just pretty in my opinion. They have no soul and have ice pick highs on them.

Pretty to look at but that's about it. I wish they sounded as good as they looked.

I like Hollow-bodies.

I can't tell from your pictures - how thick is the body? I play a cheap Jay Turser Jazz Guitar that I really like.

It's quite thin actually

 

[clamum]

Never played a hollow-body but I really like the look of those Gibson ES's.

 

[pontifex]

Another one?

Nice looking guitar!

I wanna do naughty things to that f-hole.

Snazzy!

I want to pick me up a Gretsch myself one of these days, but my wife would kill me (I already have enough guitars for a Brady Bunch reunion).

Start practicing those BB King Riffs

I was going to get one of the cheaper gretsch guitars but i decided to get a hagstrom ultra swede for more versatility. Will see how it is sometime within the next 2 weeks hopefully.

Beautiful! You still can't beat a Gibson.

 

[silverpig]

I always wanted an ES-335.

 

[CptObvious]

Nice guitar. I've wanted to learn blues guitar for a while, and Gibon semi-hollows are my favorite for that kind of sound.

 

[aircooled]

Very nice!

 

[jemcam]

Very nice, among my 1995 USA Strat and my Gibson Explorer, I have an Ibanez Artcore hollowbody that I absolutely love that is very similar to that Gibby you have.

 

[Walking in Circles]

nin

 

[jemcam]

Ha! Even my Ibanez has binding on the F holes!

Just kidding man, that guitar rocks, nothing beats a Gibson.

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

That thing is beautiful. Love her.

OK, I don't have any, but I'll drool right along with the next guy.
