Gibson ES-335 Dot Plain Gloss

Nashville and Google will tell you more than me ...
I put 10 because nothing bothers me.

UTILIZATION

The neck plays alone, it is a pleasure.
THE best round ever.
And yet it seems to be like the others.
Everything is very well finished, well polished (not like all Gibson)
The balance is perfect.
I put 10, I have nothing to reproach

SOUNDS

In his jazz record, blues, rock, this is PERFECT.
I live on MesaBoogie branch or Fender. No pedal.
The sound? Difficult to describe because it is very much alive.
This is especially very musical.Il are the attack, responsiveness, the strong, nervous, the sensible.
The round, the rough, the rough, the smooth, fat, lens, the flowing, short .. whatever you want to be able to sing your song.
Never aggressive.
Little sustain. Not smooth as a standart LP.
We hear the case, the notes are full, fuller than on solidbody.
Basically, not hear the metallic sound of the strings.
We enjoy with a little crunch.

For me, it's a waste that the play 100% distortion.
In addition, the uncontrollable feedback is annoying.
The full boxes are much better placed for this.

So great and enjoyable for blues, jazz, Brazilian, Cuban, rockabilly, classic rock single,.

OVERALL OPINION

3 days.
I have a standart LP, a faded LP, standard, studio LP, an SG, and non-brands.
What I like the most is the feeling and the pleasure it provides.
The player and the instrument are one.

Value for money?
MDR.
This is not a washing machine!
If you do not like, will not you buy. If you like, you démerdes to find one.
And keep it there as long as it gives you pleasure.
The pleasure here is well worth a 10.

UTILIZATION

The grip is good, despite the large amount of cash fairly quickly we forget. This guitar is a very well balanced and not destroy any shoulder.
The handle is incredible comfort and each note can last indefinitely because we are in the presence of an instrument that has endless sustain.
The release of the fund facilitates the access to blithely acute

SOUNDS

Its clean, it is a 4x4. One can spend his very jazzy blues with a round of attacks very striking.
In Satu, it assumes very large distortions, why not to the metal!
My favorite sound with the 335, it is a clean sound block pushed for travel has a light crushing crunch when pressing the strings, the shades are fabulous

OVERALL OPINION

I kept 2 years and I had to reluctantly part with
They are guitars that have a price therefore nine but once you try it you say that it is quite justified
I redeem one as soon as I can

Mechanical Grover round
2 Micro Classic 57, not 57 + classic trestle
2 volume knob, 2 tone button
1 micro selector 3 positions
Bridge and tailpiece ABR-1 Gibson Stopbar

UTILIZATION

Guitar well balanced, light ... RAS
The factory settings are a bit lame, I lowered the bridge and stopbar action was big high
If not always the concern of the rope across the SOL as Gibson

SOUNDS

The sound is very particular it may not stick to the big fans of his rock very thick and sturdy that girder that race ... here it is in the bluesy, you can go rockab although I prefer the Gretsch for that ... rock sounds with a slight drive are amazing we have a varied range of swing I Aerosmith, the Kravitz, the Beatles ... According to the Guns'n'Roses is dead ... he must play with finesse and lightness, the fact that it has a box gives a warmer side and was full of depth that gives its charm ... on plans Jazzy I prefer the L-5, ES lack of safe and once she has made more compacted and less air goes in it seems more ...
Sound level in comparison even if it's not the same, I find that balance less bass on a Les Paul is in the middle and trebble down, despite his body and maple table it is less bright that one Telecaster, otherwise the Classic 57 sound superbly over the side found round good vintage, a real treat for the ears ...

OVERALL OPINION

The Gibson ES is a shovel as the legend Les Paul, SG, The J200, L5 ... for fans this is a must, those who love rock / blues and drives subtle "no problemo"
According to this model the thing that shocks me is the Grover round head that are not aesthetically in keeping with the vintage side of the guitar suddenly I put vintage Kluson tulip above ... always the custom in those who want to change the pickups be unscrewed and all passed through the blinders, a real mess ... : S
Otherwise no regret is a guitar very complementary set my environment and when I make a plan to get old school it is what comes first
