NGD:A dream realized

[SalFromChatham]

Congrats on a stunning, stunning guitar.

Did Alex Lifeson play one? Actually I’ll use google… you play your guitar!

Sweet 335 pony! Very cool, congrats.

[TiffanyGuitar]

Here is my 335 family. A 2002 MIK Epiphone Sheraton - which quickly became a favorite. And my 1995 ES-335 which just came back from the shop to get low wind Lollar Imperials installed. Those pickups really brought it to life.

Congrats on yours!

32 years later…we finally meet. Thanks to the AGF!

Yeah, there's nothing like that 335 look!

My "best of both worlds" stage guitar - 335-style double-cut semi-hollow construction (and in my case, color) with "That Great Gretsch Sound" :

Very nice duo there! Ty for the picture. I had a set of Lollar Imperials in a PRS Singlecut. Fantastic pickups. Sooooo good. Enjoy. Those are great additions to any guitar. Well done!

Thanks, Bob! Ordered from that link a few minutes ago. We will get this gal equipped with the proper attire! Appreciate the assistance.

I love it, Steve. My Korean made 5620T-CB has been a very worthy semi-hollow tool in my arsenal. The early versions with the blacktops/broadtrons were tremendous build quality. Professional level stuff. For VERY little $

Here’s a pic of my old Gretsch collection. You can’t replicate that “Great Grestch Sound”

Mine arrived Friday. I’ll have to take an updated pic today and maybe include the Jet. A family pic

[TiffanyGuitar]

Mine arrived the other day too. They went on just fine and look great!

[Birchtop]

Congratulations, what a beauty!

The wait is always worth it. Enjoy your new Gibby!

[BoneDigger]

Beautiful Gibson! I still want a real 335. Maybe someday soon!

Ty, friend. It was def with the wait. Such a fine guitar.

You’d not be disappointed, I suspect. I’ve had no regrets. Ty for the kind words/compliment, my friend.

[TiffanyGuitar]

I have had PLENTY of guitars I have had regrets about. Not my 335. It was great out of the box, but now it is over the moon with the Lollar Imperials.

[RussL30]

Congrats on a beautiful guitar! The cherry red 335 or possibly black for some BB vibes is my dream electric. Has to be a great feeling playing that beauty. My Sheraton will hold me over for now, but hopefully I can acquire one someday.

Awesome collection. I love my MIK Sheraton too. It’s a 92 with SD Antiquities and I absolutely love it. How does your Sheraton compare to the Gibson? I know there are a few construction differences but I’m just curious how they compare. I hope to pick up an ES one day but I’ll never get rid of my Sheraton.
