For any of you out there that actually dig the looks of your reissues, add some pics.

Here's my '59 50th Anniversary!

sure, the saddles are tusq that I bought new off ebay a couple years ago ...they were close to being white new but have now darken somewhat from being played ...the intonation is close where I have it setup, but I do see what you're saying about them appearing forward on some strings, which they are .

IMO these Historic ES models are the best guitars Gibson is currently making, all things considered (production volume, details, cost, accuracy, playability, tone), dispite all the bellyaching about the horn shape.

Here is my 2005 '63 Reissue ES-335. I bought it used off of eBay sight unseen, and it has turned out to be my best electric guitar, eclipsing my R9!

Not the best picture, I know, but the best I have available at the moment. If I get some time this afternoon, I will take some better pics. Someone told me the case looks like a left over from the Clapton run.

Question about the block-neck reissues neck profile....how does it compare to the slim 60's ones on the 'regular' production dot-neck 335's?

Just picked up one of those crazy 59 Wraparound ES-335's that Music Zoo did. Absolutely love it!

A Fat Neck rather than a reissue. Still digging mine in a big way.
