When I got home from the army a couple of days ago, my dad surprised me with a Gibson ES-335 Custom Shop!
It sounds amazing, and I just love it!

Same dad who is about to get the Strat of his dreams? How awesome is that?  :headbang1:

 

[The Norwegian Guy]

That's the same dad!

 

[Mor Paul]

I hope it plays as well as the one I'm borrowing! Excellent feel. Great sound.

Now that is the feel good story of the day.  He must be very proud of you. Congrats to both of you. :headbang:

Congratulations! That's an incredible gift! There's nothing quite like a good ES series guitar.

I don't care what anyone may say, I think Gibson still wins the "classic" finish award - they have a zillion variants on "---burst" and they're all lovely. Garish lizardbursts and whatnot might be scary to wake up to...

That is one of my dream guitars! Congrats man ccasion14:

that's probably why my old man won't even spot for a cup of joe.  In fact now that I think about it, the last few times me and the old man went out for a bite I picked up the tab, and knowing him, he probably has a register of all the money I owe him and he takes his part of the bill off of my tab.

Just kidding my old man isn't THAT bad.....

Your Dad bought you a 335? Can I be adopted? :laughing7:



But, but, but......... it has F-Holes. What about the comment under your avatar? :laughing7:


Great looking burst 335. Enjoy!

Ha, nice catch!  :laughing7:

335 is the only geetar in the world that is allowed to look good with F-holes! It invented the F-holes, so I'm fine with it!

But seriously... On any other guitar - I don't think F-holes look too good.

Many violins, cellos, basses, violas, archtops, and tons of other stringed instruments disagree with you

*cough* There were plenty of other guitars before the ES-335, with F-Holes.

If it really worries you that you have a guitar with F-Holes, I would be happy to pay for postage of 'offending' guitar to my home.... :icon_thumright: :laughing7:

How's the Strat build going?

 

[The Norwegian Guy]

hehe, I know, I know :glasses9:

The body is still at Tonar's place for final rubbing
I think I'll probably have the guitar done in two or three months from now
...hopefully
