[al3d]

[Evilmusician]

WOW!:eek:
I'd rather an Epi. Dot then mod it

[al3d]

They were suppose to release a Les Paul for Alex with Floyed Rose, he had 2 prototype in Montreal...but never saw them on the website

[Evilmusician]

As far as i know its just the 335 their releasing limited to 300 (I think) :rockon:

[elindso]

Here we go,,, A modded Epi ain't the same. Not even close:sport-smiley-002:

Nice guitar enjoy it.:smile:lofu

[Jim Jones]

I can almost here those big changin' "Closer To The Heart" chords coming out of that thing. Nicely done!

And ditto on the Epiphone nonsense. You get what you pay for whether you like it or not. I've pissed away hundreds of dollars in the past by scrimping and buying something I thought was "good enough". From now on, if I can't afford what I really want - I ain't buying.

Alex is the man!
Very nice axe!

NAMM Toys...

Congrads on the new guitar..I luv it ..wish i could buy one.. I have always been a big fan of Rush, There all musical Geniuses.

Wow! If Alex is a fan of yours I'd love to hear you play!! :wink:
(sorry couldn't resist!)

[Rick31797]

What can i say>>> Alex use to come over to the house and bug me to learn him a few chords>>:-)

[Budda]

nice axe!!! I take it that is a family heirloom when it arrives?

[Evilmusician]

Lol! yeah it will be for sure studio,jams ,and bedroom playing,opps my bad 355 ,did you know Alex wrote most of the Beatles material:banana:

[Rick31797]

Rick

[Evilmusician]

No i don't Rick sorry I'll try to get one though its just a modified 412 plays great though !:rockon:

Where are you buying it from if you don't mind me asking?

[Evilmusician]

L&M here in Newfoundland

[bischbd]

Thanks, I'm going to look into one.

IMO $3,500 is not bad considering the cost of some of the other Gibson signature/inspired by models. I wonder how the Kiefer Sutherland 336 @ $4,400 is selling?

Alvin Lee 335 $3,950, Larry Carlton 335 $3,600, etc.

[Evilmusician]

Kiefer Sutherland 336! lol! wow talk about a cash grab sure it's not the 24 model lol ! :rockon:

[Robert1950]

I remember reading that if you get over the Keifer name and the price, it's a really good guitar.

[Evilmusician]

Hmmmmmmmmm probably ,but 4600 for a somewhat non famous musicians sig come on :rockon:

[JHarasym]

If you want bang for the buck, check out a Heritage H535. I picked up a used one in near mint condition with a flamed maple top for $1100. Plays like butter.

[bischbd]

Notwithstanding Gibson's history, quality and sound, in some ways I find all of their semi hollowbodies to be overpriced considering I believe they all have laminated (or ply) tops.

For $3K+ a guitar should have a solid wood top don't you think?

[Evilmusician]

Hey! If its good enough for Alex!:rockon:

[Andy]

That's a pretty classy colour scheme, and I like the trem. $3500 isn't at all unreasonable for a fine guitar, so long as you get your money's worth in use and enjoyment, which I'm betting you will.

If a 335 had a solid top, it wouldn't sound like a 335 anymore. Also, it would be more prone to feedback. Eastman makes solid top semi-hollowbodies and hollow bodies. They're nice enough for the price and have their own sound which is different from that of a 335 or a 175.

[Spikezone]

How about one of the new ES339's? A little smaller than a 335, but essentially the same. I tried a couple at L&M in Victoria a month or so ago, and they are KILLER! And only about $1800 from the Gibson CUSTOM SHOP-I think they are one of the best deals out there-If I only had had the ca$h! WAHWAHWAH!

Dang, that looks good!

Congrats!

[Robert1950]

Whatever you do - do not throw up on it. I think it would be very offended and mess up it's fine whiteness.

Play the hell out of it.
