Nice color! I have a soft spot for figured 335’s.

Wardo · 2022-10-12T19:07:54-0400

Nice, looks in really good shape.
My 2020 335 has more fret wear than that.

Thanks ! That’s one of the benefits of having a light touch

Yeah, my electrics get worn pretty fast - maybe from mostly playing dreds with 13s and doing bends on them makes for a heavy hand .. lol

I know, even playing mainly electric I also had heavy hand I had to work to lighten my touch.

Youhouuu ! Big summer blowout ! (see how many of you will catch the reference

)

Perhaps you should consider shipping this? I have the exact same model, shipped from Vancouver to Nova Scotia without issue (once the shipping company found it).

Played mine this morning, I don't think I could find a finer 335.

Thanks ! I know shipping would help, but I've just never shipped a guitar before so I don't really feel comfortable. Plus how does that work when you're not going through a platform like Reverb but it's just between two individual ?

I still have the box and all packaging the Collings came in so I could eventually ship.

They send the money, you send the guitar. It's based on trust. You're responsible for damage during shipping, since you packed it. There's a few threads on here for how to pack a guitar. If you want some help PM me, I've done quite a few.

That is a spectacular looking guitar. As is the table. Have you thought of selling them as a matched pair?

Thanks ! The table belongs to my wife, even holding the thought of selling it might get me in trouble

Weekly bump !

Derek_T · 2022-10-31T10:54:26-0400

Still here !

Here's an example of a clean "jazzy-tone-rolled-off" kind of sound, if you'll excuse my shitty mixing skills

.
This is just the guitar straight into a Deluxe:
2016 - ES 335

Really liked that piece. Great sounding guitar and great playing! I had to go back and listen a couple times. I detect another “Derek” influence in there…

GLWTS!

El Bump !

I don't mind driving a bit to meet if you're in the Ottawa, Quebec region.
