Hohner as good as 1960's ES 335 or Epiphone

Published on 07/14/19 at 02:43

I have'Gibson-ised' it as I love the '58 era dot inlay 335's, but could NEVER afford genuine one! What astonished me, apart from build quality is there is even the oval orange paper copy of model type and number, just as per Gibbo, visible through f hole. I fitted a 'roller' type bridge, action is just so good, no fret buzz, really well finished. I removed bridge PUP cover and intend to remove other. It was made by Hohner in the '90's I believe and was told by guy I bought this from that it has 'Kent Armstrong' humbuckers, no idea if true or were std on original? Whatever they are they sound great (I suspect they are originals). I fitted the Gibson type 'tulip' machine heads and truss rod cover (original was different shape with SE35 on it. I would NEVER try to pass on as a Gibson, and anyone who knew their 'onions' would know it is NOT a Gibbo in an instant, but it plays great through my Hi-Watt 100 watt combo, looks great, and you can get all the sounds you would expect from a 335. I have gigged with it many times. So if you ever see one up for sale, grab yourself a great late 50's era 335 type for a fraction of the price!! They seem quite rare as there is only 1 or 2 (favourable) reviews on Youtube, and I have only seen 1 for sale on e-bay, but don't look that often.

USE

A fan buddy rockabilly confi me its natural wood color SE35 for me to repaint. Originally, the varnish polyurethane covers the whole guitar, until the rear of the handle, characteristic that I modified by applying a satin lacquer back of the handle, the more enjoyable touch.
Lightweight, it is not the behavior differs from that it mimics: pleasant play, access to nice treble, pleasant handle not too thick (less than a Les Paul) , hooping good quality and finishing treats (the guitar sounds good everywhere, no fret height of default), better than the equivalents Epiphone models.

SONORITS

All guards proportions, it is a good guitar. The sound is not transcendent but clean, warm on the neck pickup and a crunch with the bridge pickup emmnera you long hours on the roads of escarps Rockab '. The sustain is very good for an instrument of this range, treble are not aggressive, no buzz distortion, severe enough prsents and velouts mediums, especially in the neck pickup.
