NGD Incoming - ES-335

Phil_C

Evening everyone

I've been madly gassing for a ES-335 for quite some time now and finally pulled the trigger on one.

I'll post the obligatory pics once it arrives tomorrow but this is the one I bought: https://www.rimmersmusic.co.uk/gibson-es-335-semi-hollow-electric-guitar-vintage-burst-p53319

Have I secured that guitar for a steal? Andertons, GuitarGuitar and a couple other places have it for £3399, Coda for £2999

It's the proper finish too, not the satin version!

Apart from the colour and knobs, that's pretty much my perfect 335 spec. Good purchase

I managed to get a Sixties Cherry ES335 in the new year sale for £2599. I think we both got cracking deals. With you all the best with your amazing new guitar!

Very nice, I own its cousin: 

Enjoy, you can’t beat a good es3x5 in any of its forms.

Nice one. That seems like a bargain. I hope it lives up to expectations. My 335 certainly does.

Very nice - looks a great buy.  Hopefully it plays it nice as it looks.

Lovely! Welcome to the club. Had mine since 2007, I’d say it’s still my most treasured guitar, hope yours gives you decades of happiness

So excited that you were still awake at 3.00 in the morning!

Did you mean 'vegetarian' and if so, what is meant by the 'vegetarian option'?

Do some have hide glue and others not? 

I think mine does but maybe others don’t? I’m reluctant to say this for fear of being shot down, but… I imagine it makes next to no difference to what it plays or sounds like. The Gibson marketing team might tell you differently
