SOLD: Gibson ES-335 Joe Bonamassa Signature

WillEdmunds

Ok, so I just bought this the other day on a bit of an impulse, planning to sell my 63 Reissue 335 (still for sale). The next day I get offered a deal on a Collings SoCo, which I've been after for ages. Great timing!

As a result this beautiful Bonamassa 335 is back up for grabs. Super rare, and the best 335 I've ever got my hands on. It's also pretty light, at 7lbs 12oz.

There's a lot of hype around these and I can see why. However, I seem to have incurable GAS and quite possibly a hint of OCD, particularly when it comes to Collings guitars. Doh!

I need to get back what I paid, which was £2250 (cash or PPG). I'm in Bristol and can meet within an hour for a small fuel contribution. I can also pack the guitar very well if the buyer wants to arrange a courier.

Here's the original ad, and I'll do some more pics when I get a chance. Definitely no trades though, sorry. Cheers!

This has happened to many fretboarders buy one and up pops a serious GAS moment but that does look a great guitar and I am sure it plays great.I expect you are a decent player to buy the Bonamassa.so maybe just play it.

I'm sure it happens all the time mate. Well it's up here for now. I'll play it in the mean time and see how it goes. I certainly need to sell at least one of my 335s now!

Truth is I had a Gibson Bonamassa 335 when they first came out and let it go after 2 days.Totally regretted it but you have to do what you feel is right. .

Yeah, GAS is a curse mate. You could always buy this one though. Instant regret solver

I know, I think GAS levels have reached critical point. Someone buy this and make the decision for me!!

Under 8 lb for a full blown 335 is pretty light ! Glws

Yep, I can't fault it really. It might be staying if someone doesn't snap it up soon!!

Hey very interested in this - going to lok through the specs etc.  Not a massive fan of really skinny necks.

Also need to think about safe postage.

You'll probably like the neck then! It's just a tad slimmer than a '59.
