I can’t afford a Gibson, but I already had an Ibanez 335 style, so I modded it with a quality wiring harness (CTS, Switchcraft, & Sprague caps) and Duncan 59s. I plan on using some of this. And maybe someday I can afford a real 335.
I love these guitars. I think the 339 is very much overlooked and underrated. Just wish there was more color options for these models. Think it would help them sale more
I have always loved the 335 and it is always my dream guitar but it seems to be getting over taken by the market now. Like you look at your favourite old movie and go - the newer ones are better….but the love remains but maybe not the future with it in. Happy and sad
Ok but can you please tell me how can I get rid of the muddy sound of the 335? I thought les Pauls had muddy sound till I bought A Gibson 335 dot... good luck with that
Ok..I got an Inspired by Gibson Epiphone ES 355…and just a Fender Frontman 20…and I can’t even get close to any of the sound/tones your producing…maybe it’s because I don’t have that high dollar amp?..any suggestions for tone sounds for my setup..for a beginner such as myself at age 61😁
Question on Gibson pickups..... Can I use a Seymour Duncan Trippelshot ring to make use of coil split wiring options like in phase or out of phase? Meaning instead of replacing the pots only adding the pickup rings that has the two little switches ......
My Epiphone SG 400 "1966" on the Neck pickup would sound like the most muddy mess if you rolled the tone down to 4 like in this video. I don't know if mine is as bright on 10 as this guitar on 4. I can't figure out the discrepency - is this guitar wired for 50s vintage wiring harness?
I would assume it’s a combination of the wiring and the pickups in general. I’m just guessing, but I’d assume this has 50s wiring, which helps maintain treble when rolling off on volume. Also epiphone pickups are notoriously muddy and too hot.
Hi Antonio, what amp are you using? I’ve got a new model ES335 with a T-Type in the neck, which is really bright through my Vox AC15. I turn the tone down to 7 and volume to 9. On the bridge (a Burstbucker 2) I have the tone at 5 and volume at 9 and often bring the tone down to 2 if I’m using that pick up alone.
@@AntonioLopez-bc6qgthat’s a fantastic amplifier so I can’t imagine it’s responsible for the dullness. It might be worth trying your ES335 with other amps though to see if it makes a difference. I find the Vox sound is quite bright.
i dig that cable~ vintage cables sound just different, people fancy vintage guitars but never think about vintage cable is one of the element of getting vintage sound
Gibson control manipulation 101!Not exclusive to 335s but informative none the less.50s tone control wiring can be a positive factor as well,especially when rolling the volume down[retains highs without the need for a treble bleed]Not mentioned was the wah effect you can get by rolling off the neck tone completely and manipulating the toggle from neck to bridge.Also noteworthy is the perceived resonance boost when rolling off the neck tone completely,putting the switch in the middle,and leaving other controls full up.A creamy,sustainy sound when using distortion.Enjoyed the video!
The 335 and 339 are very close, my Les Paul has 59 in the neck, it sound different, tighter to my ear. My 339 has a chip on the volume that help keep the full spectrum. Only thing I don’t like, it keeps it from a decent jazz tone. It is a rock monster. 339 clean tone is more acoustic sounding to me. I’d go with the hollow body personally.
Definitely for absolute beginners, and those who are wondering what sounds a 335 can get! Also for people like me who definitely DON'T use their tone pots enough!
