Hi guys I'm a guitarist/singer songwriter/producer/guitar instructor from Utah. This channel focuses on gear, guitars, music production, songs, guitar lessons and anything music in general.
I grew up playing guitar in the 1980's, which meant lots of hairband songs to learn. I've been playing and teaching guitar for 32 years now and have a vast knowledge of gear and what sounds good.

My PRS did the same. It was extreme and I got rid of it and got the exact replacement and it also changes. It will be my last PRS. None of my other guitars have this issue. The relief wiould change more than .030 from winter to summer. The new one is not as bad, but it is still too much change for me.
Great vid Rich! I'm definitely going to have to get a hollow body one of these days! The majority of guitars I have are epiphones, love'em! Nothing beats new guitar day ! Great playing as always! 😎🎸🤘
I have had these new epis and moved them on. Reason is the pickups. Side by side the Gibson pickups are wayeeee better and the epi although good in terms of pickups sound dull and uninspiring, you can swap em out but to me its pointless. A good starter guitar though.
Oh yeah ! Man that is one sweet guitar! And you were getting some sweet tone with that rig, too. Those pickups sound like they are SMOKIN! Congrats, Rich.
They’re a bit on the heavy side yes? I had a Sire H7 but it was just too heavy, beautiful guitar, great quality and playability; but just heavy. Same reason I ditched my Duesie CC Model, extremely heavy. I just don’t like heavy guitars.
Some nice playing again Rich. I'm a sucker for a flame top ( so much nicer than a plain top ). Looks like you have the new headstock model. I regret selling my Epi 335 approx. 18 years ago although I don't think it would have had the same pickups. Guitar sounds good. Have fun with it.
Tasty licks Rich! I assume you are having some time off from gigs for a bit-your playing sounds re-inspired amigo- keep up the good videos and playing!!
I bought the chunky neck 58 IG 335 by Epiphone and really fell in love with it. That and a black guard tele have become my main two electrics....I did have the output jack on mine upgraded and put some flat wounds on it. Awesome instrumeent...that's a pretty one!
Used to have an 03 Epi dot. Just didn't get on with the slim taper neck. I think I read that they changed the "slim taper" profile since then, so I may have to give it another shot with a newer one.
Nice! You got the best looking one! I almost that bought that same one. But I decided to treat myself to a used satin Es-335 since I am turning 60 this year.
Congrats!! Love the color. I do find that the pickups sound very much the same. Not much dynamics may e? Might be how they pass through YT. Interested to know better what pickups those are. Ceramic or real Gibson burst. I just changed my t490s from my tribute LP to the Gibson 57s and they are night and day. Not that expensive of an upgrade. The other not expensive upgrade is changing a PCB wiring to hand wiring with orange or bumble bee capacitors and 500k pots if they aren’t already (Maybe 50s wiring?) Cause that guitar looks killer. !!
What do you guys think of these Epi ES-335s? Thanks for watching! Please remember to like and subscribe, and stop by Spotify to listen to some music. open.spotify.com/album/27EP5HQHLDgA0Za7rMMmq8
I have an Epiphone Sheraton II, which is very similar to the 335 and it's my favorite semi-hollow that I own. My other is an Ibanez AM93 and it's nice but I prefer the Sheraton II. It has Epiphone's Classic 57 humbuckers in it. The case is awesome.
Huh, that's funny because I could have done without your comment. There's this thing on RU-vid we're you can actually click to the part of the video you want to see... but maybe you don't know about that. Also it's my channel, I can make the vids however I want.
Can you tell me please if the Volume / Expression functions are passive, and it’s only the tuner that needs a power supply, or do the Volume/Exp also need the power supply?
Thank you- you answered my question. There is a 3 & 4 button if bought used, as I did. In the event there is a multi pin cable going into the footswitch -That means it turns on/off the FX loop. The threee switch does not have the FX on it.
Great playing, really good demonstration. I bought one -used at GC. I think I paid 870.00 + 85.00 for a footswitch. The Footswitch says effects. I hope it turns the FX loop on/off. I have 45 days to decide. There was only one factory setting that I thought was a no go for me. It had the Bass on 11. I think that is the setting that did not sit the best for you.-Take care, God bless.
Can you buy these Firefly guitars some where in Europe? Or are they called Jet Guitars over here? On your box there was standing Designed and backed by J... there was a sticker over it, so it could be Jet or something else. Please let me know.
