Howdy guys - I've been looking for a ES-335 for about a year. About 2 months ago a guy had a 59 reissue 335 on Craigslist and I offered him a J200 in trade. He was very interested in the trade until he came to my house to do the swap and plugged his 335 into my Friedman amp. He ended up playing his 335 thru the Friedman for about 30 minutes and forgot about my J200. He then passed on the trade. So the search continued.
The other day I found this 335 and ended up buying it. It's a VOS 63 Wildwood spec 2015 Memphis. I am glad the first trade didn't work out because this natural finish and the dark neck is awesome. Also I really like the 63 neck taper. It is about .82 at the first fret but swells to a generous .98 at the 12th fret. it is surprisingly comfortable to play. MHS low wind PUs are sweet sounding too.
This guitar has nylon saddles. I wanted to ask if you guys think I should swap the saddles out with brass?
