In response to OP, a Gretsch and a 335 are very different guitars brother don't be fooled because they just both happen to have f holes. |

Date: January 18th, 2018 11:35 AM Author: supple french trailer park mad cow disease Personally i would go with the gibson. I believe it can be had for around $1,600. If you are already spending $1,000, get the guitar you want.
Also i would get a 339. The 335 is cumbersome. |

Date: January 18th, 2018 11:31 PM Author: Bossy aphrodisiac field Gibson guitars post like 2005 are VERY hit or miss. I had a 339 from 2012 that was decent. I’d give it like a B+. I’ve now got a LP Traditional from 2014 and it’s not great. Bridge is terrible, nut needs work, etc.
Whatever you get definitely play it first. I’d recommend a 335 over a 339 (looks childish unless you’re a tiny man). And I’d recommend something from the 90s or early 2000s |

Date: January 18th, 2018 11:56 PM Author: Bossy aphrodisiac field I haven’t. I’m always biased against those unique guitars unless I’m absolutely in love with them because it’s usually harder to resell.

|
Date: January 19th, 2018 4:56 PM Author: hateful round eye business firm All modern LP's are hollow body to some extent. You just can't see it because of the maple cap. But it's not a slab of wood like a Fender is - mahogany is just too heavy.

Date: January 19th, 2018 6:02 PM Author: supple french trailer park mad cow disease Yeah but they either made or make an ES Les Paul which is a legitimate semi-hollow body guitar like an ES just without f holes.
