I was looking for an ES-335 when I found the T-head in my price range.

Sound is so highly subjective that I find myself hard pressed to give what I would consider rational comparisons of sound. The Thunderhead gives me a full palette from smooth fat notes to raunchy rockabilly twang...depending on me. I does not have a huge amount of sustain, but more than the 335 to my recollection.

As much as anything, it's thin Ovation necks I'm in love with. That and, it's just a sweet looking guitar that's light enough to wear all night long.

in summation;
Me Like Real Much!

PEZ,

Thank you. I have seen that before and could never tell if he was playing the guitar acoustically or plugged in. I certainly don't see a cable or wireless of any sort.So I assumed that he was playing it unplugged. I'm interested in the electrified sound of the guitar.

Regards,

Tom

Location: 6 String Ranch		They are D'Armond pickups so it will be more towards the Gretsch sound.
