So the day finally came (after a few UPS delays) that my brand new 2016 Gibson ES-335 Studio came to its final resting place. I can not believe how well this guitar plays. I thought I knew what a great guitar felt like in my hands (having played several Fender CS and Nash Teles), but man.. the neck is fairly thin as it is a “soft c” shape, but it feels extremely comfortable to me. The tone is your typical 335 airy and beautiful sound. The neck has a ‘57 Classic pickup and the bridge is a Super ‘57 Classic I believe. I don’t have any complaints so far and my wife hates that I have been ignoring her for the past few hours. I know there have been a lot of complaints about Gibson’s quality control, but I can’t find a single flaw on this guitar. And if there is a blemish, I can’t find it. Anyways, here’s a few pics (I didn’t have natural light, so I’m sorry for the poor quality)
