It was such a pleasure to hang and jam with you, Rhett. I'm excited for our course!

@jasonbeatty9269 10 дней назад

Love your work with Norah, Adam. Always tasteful and memorable.

You talk so calm but enthusiastic, I can see you are probably a really nice guy and is visible your love on the 6 strings. Cheers Adam!

When Adam was in the process of moving a few years back, he needed a home for a couple of guitars for a few weeks and I got to live with this baby. Played it every single day. I’ve never been a Gibson guy but this one is so special and magical. Even more so in Adam’s unique hands.

This is why GAS will never die. As soon as you are happy, there is always another guitar to chase. Either a better guitar or a model you don't have - 335 would be a bucket list guitar.

I have an all original 1960 ES-330 sunburst that’s the best Gibson I’ve ever played. Haven’t found one more pristine either. My grandad bought it new in 1959 for $225!

@noctilux7799 19 дней назад

This reminds me of my search for a 335 in the early eighties (Carlton, Rios, Ritenour were my heroes back then). I traveled through half of Europe, everything I played was crap, including 50s and early 60s. Funnily enough, I stumbled across a Les Paul on my search (81 Heritage Standard 80), which then carried me through my time as a studio musician (with my Strat and Tele). I'm still looking for 335s, but to this day there hasn't been one that has inspired me. Maybe not my model.

@handle433 20 дней назад

The great thing about hand built old guitars is that they are all different: some serious dogs and some absolute gems. This is the latter. While new Murphy Labs are great, they don’t have the unique age of the wood and pickups. It’s as simple as that. Buy one with good specs, play the crap out of it, then appreciate the labour of love when you’re 65. This is my method for happiness!!!!

@dutchcanuck7550 20 дней назад

Lovely guitar, and semi-hollows make such a beautiful sound, but any early '60s Gibson in playing condition is an insane value proposition in the 2020s. (It was probably a tough nut to crack in 2003!). Rhett, do you have a video discussing affordable sem-hollows?

@psychobillybert 20 дней назад

@nikrichter6465 18 дней назад

Thanks for great playing ! It´s very intersting to hear you guys swapping guitars...there´s only a tiny difference in sound... but Rhett has still his more "brighter" tone on the ´64 and Adam has his "warm and rounded" tone on Rhett´s guitar. PS I´m very lucky to own two 335s from ´66 and ´67 i got around `84 for then $500 each and kept them both through good and bad times untill today !!!

Idk if youtube is compressing or not but wow. I’d love to hear this in the room. It’s got THAT sound that I hear when I imagine a great guitar in my head. Rhett’s sounds great too but the ‘64 may be one of the best tones I’ve heard come from a RU-vid recording in while.

@spiritnone2818 20 дней назад

Must be something special about the 64. Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues also has a 64 from what I understand, cherry red. His was my first intro to the model. Then I started learning about who session players were and their contribution to the music I listened too. That's how I found out who Larry Carlton is and the line of Sire guitars with his name on them. I now have a black Sire H7V leftie on order which is a variant brand of the 335. Not sure why I'm putting this out there for the world to read. Boredum.
