Joined: February 2004 Posts: 2487 | Ahh I know everyones ear is slightly different but do these sound anything like the old Gibson semi's ?? or is the electronics and pick system quite different on these? I won't mention what I think of the foolish practice of selling big ticket items on ebay with no feedback. Whoops I said it, I said it again! I can't stop saying it.............. Randy | ||

Also 335s have humbuckers and these are a single coil. And then there's the issue of a bolted neck vs a solid glue joint. These would be closer to an old Guild, although those were glued as well. | ||

I would want to find out about the parts though. I am looking at this like it is all original and what looks like #9 condition from the photo's. It has me athinkin! | ||

I've been in there before and seemed to be quite respectable, although they are a general music store, not really a guitar store. I'm heading off to Salt Lake City so I can't do it, but maybe there's someone else in the OFC who can stop by and check it out if you're interested. Or you could probably call them and get an in-hands description from them ... you can probably google them and get the phone number. | ||
