In my seeming to be ,never ending search always asking for 1 of these, for that ES guitar Pictured in my mind ,. I've been lusting after a 60's (thin neck) Vintage Natural 335 small block(New 13/14specs) .... The CS 1's , for me were a more figured then I like for a 335(plus way over priced...
Anyone get over to WW and test out those New 61 335's and 64 345's less VT ??? Any feedback would be great .
They look really nice, but , I'm wanting a Plain top for either and then I'd Jump all over it . I called Yesterday and It might be in the works . I'm gonna try waiting it out for 1 ...
Got her Monday ,and have been playing as much as I can . A Beautiful Blonde 345 , Finally . She weighs in at a very nice 8lbs 8 1/2 oz. Not bad with a Vairitone . Sweet looking Grain patterns .I think these 345's look great with the inlays they have.
It seems that the 345's have fatter necks...
I finally got my new ES 345 this week and have noticed something a bit different about the way the volume controls work.
So my question is this ,
When the selector switch is in the middle position , should turning only 1 of the volume controls to zero, cancel out both pups volume ?
Mine...
Hi Guys , I'm focused in on getting a 2014 Memphis '59 345 soon and would lke to hear from those who have played 1 . None are in my neck of the Woods and would have to buy on the net . Not ideal , but I'm itching for a Blond Big time . :teeth

Well Here she is ..... Got her back this past Saturday. Thanks to Curt at HOG for putting up with me to get this 1 made. This is the guitar I've been chasing (Reverse Chevron in Lemon Burst) for years . Flat out great guitar . I'm even liking the Custom Buckers it has :laugh2: . Although ...
I found this linked on the Gibson site . For those wondering what it has been last year and this year about the tone of the Memphis historics . I wonder how many differnt guitar this inclueds?
I happen to think there is more to it than just the pots . It seems Gibson Memphis has been...
I got this Picture from Curt at HOG yesterday . This is the Build I had done of my next and I hope last R0 . If she plays as good as she looks my next and last will be a Blond 335 and than I'll be GAS free (I hope) :rofl :##
Ok Here’s the ES-335 I got Yesterday . I waited most of Today
to get a few minutes of ok Sunlight so I could get a few Pics. The Blister on this top is lighter colored and difficult to Photograph . It’s very 3-D and I haven’t learned the best angles to capture it in Pics Yet . Zooming in on...
I got about as lucky as could be . She turned out to be in the catalogue for this years R0's . I'm really liking the guitars this year. Not all that for the Pups , but that's like anything some do some don't . Nothing a Vintage Pup wont cure .
