Thinking about a Gibson ES-335

(compare size to the Les Paul Special beside it)


and an Epiphone ES-339 Pro P90 (center, below)



Both are awesome, but I am a bit partial toward the Epi 339 Pro P90. Yes, the Epi is that good and 1/5th the price of the Gibson. The bound neck on the Epi is a little beefier and feels amazing. And the P90 pickups sound fantastic.

Nice 339 Studio!

Thanks guys..OP here.

I"ve just recently started playing electric again. I had forgotten how much fun it can be. Always lusted over a 335. Nothing like the real thing. Now I'm selling off the knock offs that I hoped would satisfy me, but didn't.

Anyway, here it is at my place.

That's a beauty. The block inlays give it a Larry Carlton vibe!
