"Trying to resist"?  ???  You're gonna fail dude!  And rightfully so.  There are many guitarists that think the overall tone of a 335-type guitar is the pinnacle of guitar sounds.  I have 11 electrics, and that dang Sheraton just beats them all for that 'sound'.  Even Glenn Tipton (Judas Priest) said in a video interview his absolute favorite guitar is his ES-335 . . . which he can't play on stage of course.  (Image . . . feedback)
Give in . . . buy the 335!  :tard: Listen to the voices in your head . . .  :sad1:
 
My guitar buddy from my teenage years has one of these, one of the sweetest guitars I've played. It's semi-hollow, LP sized, no f-holes. Lovely.

How exactly is a Bigsby dysfunctional?

They're guilty of several sins, but the most unforgivable is the near refusal to return to neutral reliably.

Any guitar with a vibrato bridge is going to present at least some amount of tuning difficulty - it's the nature of the beast - but at least the modern designs minimize that to an acceptable level. Back in the olden days, the Bigsby was The Answer if you wanted "reliable" vibrato, but that was relative to what else was available at the time. Today, with the easy availability of Floyd's and Wilkinson's designs, there's no reason to tolerate them.

i have a Gretsch 6120 with a Bigsby of course. and a Gibson 355 with a maestro. they don't stay in tune very well if you try to use one as you would a Floyd. so you don't use the as you would a Floyd. subtlety is the name of the game with a Bigsby. the payback to my ears is they impart an airy quality to the sound of of these guitars. sort of like the dif between a hardtail strat, and one with a blocked vintage trem. Floyds and Bigsbys are for different applications and tone. to compare them is not understanding this.
 
There was a guy on a Les Paul forum (can't find the page for the life of me now...) that had computer generated pictures of guitars (he was using them as extremely detailed mock ups for projects) and they looked EXACTLY like that. The body was kind of floating, and they were all on a rug that basically looked just like that. Makes me wonder if that's from the same computer program. Could very well be, as detailed as his computer generated pictures were. It was really impossible to tell they weren't real guitars until he said (great wood grain, had some "wear" on them).

Either way, that is one ugly pickguard! Like they had no idea what they wanted to do with the lower horn...
 
No, I was searching Google (and Google Images) for pictures of Pelham Blue and TV Yellow SG's. I remember I got really excited to find those, then read the thread they were under just to find out they were computer images instead. Could have fooled me! And did until I read through it.
 
I think in this case, it's just that the body is heavier than the neck so the neck actually is above the floor, and the drop shadow around the body from a directional light source is giving the impression that there's space underneath it. Usually, pro photographers will use multiple floods, fill flashes or reflectors to eliminate that sort of thing. But, most guys don't go to that much trouble for forum shots.
 
I'm guessing it's either sitting on something, or the guitar photo was pasted onto the background.
