perhaps, and then perhaps not.
Playing being the same, the r7 goldtop is so similar to the 58.

No.The 335 is more versatile than the lester.So you would have less range of tones.

every one needs a 335 in the stable,
they are a perfect partner for a Les Paul

I totally agree, especialy you already got an R8.

1959burst · 04-21-2012, 09:14 AM

yes you need backup for the r8

Yes I would but then I don't like 335's. Its just a plywood box full of air

eraxis · 04-21-2012, 01:50 PM

I was just given the oppurtunity to trade. I'll probably just get a super strat he he

Perhaps one of the most profound quotes ever on this forum.Never would have agreed until having both at the same time.

Spend some time playing one.They are great guitars.Totally different than a paul tonally and you actually get to play on the 21st fret.HotBrit hit the nail on the head by saying its a perfect partner to the les paul.
