Huge-ass neck.
I have this exact same guitar!

(Except it’s a 339, oh and an Epiphone, with a headstock repair… but it’s the same colour and if I squint my eyes and ears I’d never know the difference)

This is an ES-137 I bought from Tim null_pointer a couple weeks back. Very happy with it. I'll get a fret polish/crowning when lockdown is over and I think it will be great.

Not the best photo - the finish is not as bad as that looks, it's my carpet and other things reflecting.

The bigger Les Paul shape really suits me, and I'm enjoying the range of tones. I was worried about upper fret access but doesn't seem to be an issue. Nobody wants to hear widdly diddly up past 15th fret anyway.

I think previously other forum members have owned it too (sizzling badger maybe?).
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

I really miss my 335, but couldn't justify keeping it because I mostly play bass at church these days.
I did keep my Epiphone Riviera P93 which is very versatile & seems to like my Rivera amp.

You really should have kept this one. The other one in my two favourite PRS list. 8)
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
