• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Love ES's

I was holding back for you vintage guys, but that doesn't matter here anymore. Here are a couple of crappy camera shots after some upgrades:

EDIT: Better camera shot (just cropped...no saturation or color/contrast adjustments), but washed out in a light area:

Love mine! 2013 50th Anniversary 1963 (looks like a '65 to me) ES-335.

Love all of yours too! :peace2

Three 1960 ES-345s in the patented Mike S. pose. The sunburst isn't sunburst, it's called Argentine Grey.

that's a great looking new 335 !

Thank you, Gary! :salude

The better covers and knobs help. I put a better pic up there on that post but it was a little washed out in one corner. Cameras freak out at that red color. One day I need to find the right lighting and angle to do a proper job. I'll do that when all the upgrades are in place...but thanks again. :jim

Thanks guys, I feel an attack of GAS coming on. Gawd, Gibson's sunburst finishes were just incredibly beautiful in those days.
