Re: Favorite Gibson NON-Les Paul

335 hands down. Played every guitar in the survey but only bought a 335. Actually I've had two ES-335s. Sold a 1968 Sparkling Burgundy to buy my first Les Paul. Got a 1984 Custom Shop Reissue with factory Grovers and it was my main guitar for the longest time.

Just swapped out the tuners for Grover Deluxe Tulips and put an ABR-1 on it.

I aged the tuners with muriatic acid and rock salt fumes to match the original hardware.
Thinking seriously about getting a Pigtail bridge and tailpiece. Obviously, this one isn't for sale.
When I would go to jam nights, this is the guitar that everyone would want to play.
(And this makes 100 posts!!)
