Let me feed your GAS



Nashville Historic 59

Sounds fantastic, plays easily and perfect intonation.

335's are GREAT guitars, and one of the more iconic models is the '58 Dot...

My early 70's 345 has been "Frankenstein'd" into pretty much a 335 with coil taps, fat frets and early 80's Seymour Duncan pickups... amazing playing guitar, at this point... of course, all the 345's have block/parallelogram inlays...

For years I tried to figure out what thew heck guitar he had used and couldn't. Eventually I played the ES-335 and KNEW. A couple of months later I stumbled across a clip that confirmed it:



And the original from So What:



Now, my tone with the guitar doesn't sound anything like that but it is what got me started trying to find the guitar.

Run a 335 through a maxed out Super Reverb, and that's the tone. Big, brash, and wall shaking loud. :-D

Here's a picture of that aforementioned 1974 ES-345 that's been all "Frankensteined" but is now an absolute gem to play!
