Thanks to a nice chap I know I’m back to two ES-335’s.
Very different guitars.
Right is a Murphy Lab 64, and left is me ole ‘60.
The old guitar sounds like a Telecaster. Tight, bright and ready to rock.
Beautiful guitars there Grant.
I've always thought that every guitar player should have at least two 335 style guitars, that way there would be way more 335 style guitars in this world and they are magnificent beasts.
Molly had one of those CS 64s a while back that he brought along to a gearfest. It was a wonderful guitar to play. I wonder if that's the same one?
1935 Martin D-45, 1942 Gibson Southern Jumbo,1950 Fender Broadcaster, 1954 Fender Strat, 1958 Gibson Moderne prototype, 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard.

I doubt I'll ever have the budget but my Eastman T486 has convinced me that a 335 journey would be something I'd love to do.

Good to see the old girl again. She owes you her life.
It’s amazing that I have it again. Thank you MrDINO for the contribution you made, although unintended!

Yeah, I was kind of worried that one had moved on. I know that it's existence, providence, ownership, loving restoration, playing life and inheritance has absolutely nothing to do with me. It's just so awesomely nice to know it's in NZ.

They by no means need to be expensive guitars and as soon as I'm near better internet I'll post photos to prove my point!
I bought an Epiphone 1962 50th anniversary reissue Tremotone Sheraton in (who'd have guessed?) 2012 and it's just the best, most prettiest thing.
Lots of gold and binding and inlays and Gibson mini humbuckers.
There's not many of them and they should be worth a lot but they're not and they're just wonderful.

Picked up this Kramer Baretta Special today, as a bit of a project but also on a big EVH vibe at the moment... it plays way too good for the $399 RRP, they had another one in the shop which was white but weighed a ton more, this is really nice and light, looking forward to jamming some 80s stuff on it

I almost got the Floyd version in Cashies...went back, gone burgers. Superb necks...this will be the same.

Agree completely. This is a late like. It takes resources and skills to care for something like this.
And we have a GrantB!

I have a niggling but never addressed curiosity for Shred Sticks. Can't imagine how we'd get along but then again, I've never tried.

Yarrrr tis a great neck, going to do a floyd conversion on it at some stage, going to chuck some new strings on it, setup was really good, but the G string is making a rattle like noise at around the 10th fret, have had weird things like this before and it was just old strings...
Like Double Cuts. Got these 3. An Epi from Korea with SD Antiquities The Clown burst from 97. Its a 24 fret beaten to hell but ugly cool. And a 2019 Gibson that is the go to DC. Exellent low action and just a nice player. Show us ya DCs.
