That one looks like a pretty good buy.

sry i'm looking for something more in the 2-3000 range

not the 2-300.


looks good, though.

Renaissance or Alembic?

D'Angelico, D'Aquisto? Rickenbacker? Gretsch?

maybe a gibson es 335... but i'd look into gretsch and rickenbacker

8/6/2005 2:22:15 PM

yeah i want to look into them

but there don't seem to be that many around for me to try out

so i was hoping for some player reviews

What kind of sound are you looking for? Gretsches and Rickenbackers are pretty one-dimensional IMO, but they're awesome dimensions.

There's a HUGE Rickenbacker dealer in Knightdale, but you have to set up an appointment to try 'em out if I remember correctly because he's technically mail order only due to some sales territory stuff.

Definitely Gibson ES 335

I've always liked the 335, but I always feel like with Gibson you're paying a lot for the name.

Epiphone actually makes a pretty good version of the ES 335 called the "Dot". I researched it a while back and they are identical except for the pickups and the Epi comes w/ a plastic nut. I bought one, threw some 57 Classic pickups in and got a bone nut. The thing plays great...and I put less than $600 in it total.

The nicest ES 335 clone ive ever played was an Ibanez. As nice, if not nicer than the gibson

gibsons can be kinda hit and miss

i'd like to go play one somewhere though
