I've been a huge My Morning Jacket fan since 2014. They're an amazing group. I really recommend the albums "The Waterfall" "Z" and "It Still Moves" notable songs to check out are Golden, Wordless Chorus, Touch me I'm going to Scream Pt.2, I'm amazed, Big Decisions, One Big Holiday, Off the Record, and Circuital.
I understand you may not be familiar with my morning jacket, and some of their newer tunes would be considered “softer rock” I refer them as slow jams. But they are one of the most powerful live bands playing today. So many heavy hitting songs
Had a ‘75 Walnut 335 with block inlays. A beautiful guitar. Rarely played it because the trapeze seemed to make it go out of tune. No wonder so many replaced the trapeze with the stop bridge
I changed my profile pick just for you two. My baby, except black back and sides. It's a Custom Shop 1964 reissue in "Racing Green". I agree, walnut with dark green would be dreamy!
Great guitar, great artist, great band, and, great review and demo. Man, you knocked this one out of the park. Maybe it’s because I love My Morning Jacket so much, or 335’s, but you learning one of their songs, despite not being familiar with them, goes to show what a great reviewer you are. Top vid. Cheers.
@@chillpillology Played one of these in a shop today. Looks are always going to be personal opinion, but I thought it looked fantastic. Would seriously have considered buying it, but that neck is really thin so not for me
My first electric guitar was a Zennon, but my second was a Gibson ES-335 walnut from 74 with a Fender Twin. The kids used to call me Zetar-Jerry! I used to hate that. The guitar cost $500.00 & the amp was 600 with custom Altec Lancings. I had the trapeze tail piece. One year I stuffed T-shirts, (in yellow) to make the black walnut to look better? I tried everything I knew to make it sound better and was happy to get rid of it. Years later I learn what my mistake was.
I'd love to see you review some Eastman hollow/semi-hollow bodies. They have crazy good specs: ebony fretboards, solid wood tops, premium pickups, high-quality hardware, amazing finish.
The top and back isn't carved, they're pressed. I believe the binding on the neck is hand cut. That's probably why you have some inconsistencies in how it's cut around the nibs.
The band name came from an old coat Jim James found that had “MMJ written on it. Many might know them from the song that broke them big: “Off the Record”. Another great track from them is “Victory Dance”, classic kind of a long and slow to get heavy track.
I like the case, most signature cases are pretty gaudy with a boring name plastered on the top. This owl looks cool whether you know about this band or not. It's just a nice looking owl.
It's a Walnut Brown ES 335 with dot inlays and a thicker white binding than usual on the front and back of the body. I had a 1968 model the same color but it had small block inlays on the fret board and a trapeze tail piece going to the tune-a-matic bridge. I liked the Walnut finish because it's not the typical red, tobacco sunburst or natural finish most 335s had.
Damn trogly, I’m envious. I saw this guitar on the internet and I instantly fell in love. I’m glad they’re all sold out because I can’t really afford it. Good video mah man…
The tops, backs, and sides are all steam pressed into shape. It is fun to appreciate the wiring through the f holes and pickup routes as a skilled process that cannot be easily automated like fret dressing and filing.
Whenever I have a strap button that keeps turning, I just put super glue in it. You don’t want to fill the hole with glue, you just want it on the sides. The threads basically. Let it dry, then screw the button back in. You screw it in AFTER the glue drys. That’s key.
I had a '71 walnut finish and still own a '72 walnut finish ES-335. It was love at fist sight. Brand new right out of the box in the guitar shop and I HAD to have it!. The only thing that I don't like is the trapeze tailpiece which I may be replacing soon. I did install Grover Rotomatics on both of these ES-335s.
Eh…. It still moves is the best. Z is the second best. Not a fan of the latest four albums as much. They were the best band in the world back around 2005.
@@smelltheglove2038 agreed. It still moves is better. Z is a bit more palatable to a mass audience though. Thought it may have been a better suggestion to start off on the band.
Watching Trogly discover “new” artists is such a treat. I appreciate how earnest you are and willing to research and recommend artists from all genres. I love MMJ and Jim James in particular. Love this guitar. Thank you Trogly for providing my daily dose of guitar information.
I saw Jim James back in 2004 when he was on tour with Conor Oberst (of Bright Eyes and other acts) and M. Ward. (All three would later become members of the supergroup Monsters of Folk.) I was blown away. Maybe it was music, maybe it was the fact that I finally kissed the girl I had been crushing on mid-concert, maybe it was just the heady days of college life, but it still ranks as my favorite concert I ever attended. I bought a MMJ shirt that remained my favorite shirt for years, and their Acoustic Citsouca live album. Been a fan ever since. MMJ has since been in my top 5 favorite bands of all time. Always wondering which 335 iteration I should get, love owls, and mad respect for Jim James. Color me sold. I guess I should start saving to get one of these.
I know it was an offhand comment, but wouldn't "solid walnut" just be brown lol? Either way, I quite like the 70s walnut look, its really classy on a semi hollow. Makes for a nice eye candy jazz box imo. Greetings and well wishes from Utah man!
Anyone who watches a lot of American Dad knows MMJ. They were in an episode where Hayley skips family dinner to go to a MMJ concert, so Stan goes to the concert to get her to come home cause they're a "Hippie Band". He was wearing earplugs and some hippie rips them out of his ears and he goes into a trance and falls in love with the band and becomes a groupie. At least, that's how I discovered MMJ, they're now one of my favorite bands!
Tuneomatic bridges that don’t have a retaining wire, or springs, always end up buzzing and rattling. The ones with C ring washers are the absolute worst. They get loose and buzz horribly. Wilkinson makes a bridge with springs holding the saddles in place. That’s my favorite tuneomatic bridge.
Wow! I used to own a '79 ES 335, that I bought in the Fall of 1980, and it had that same finish, except mine had the coil split toggle switch on the treble horn and it had a trapeze tailpiece, that I had converted to a stop tailpiece.
They keep dropping more and more guitars. I’ve bought my share in last two years from them. But quality control has stayed the same or slightly worse. That’s why I want that question asked to them if they’re just gonna sell til they have to address QC, or are they actively in the works of addressing it. I mean shoot, I still want an R9 in the future so hopefully QC gets better
@@MikeE- I have purchased 5 Les Pauls in the last 3 years. All of them were A+ on the fit, finish and overall aesthetic quality. One of them had a nut that was slightly too high for my taste, the retailer handled getting it right. I've been playing for 39 years and live gigging for the last 26 years,..so I know a lot of players, some of which have purchased Gibsons recently and theirs, according to their reports, have been good.
@@MikeE- Another way to easily handle your concerns is to always buy from brick and mortar stores where you can play it and examine it and simply do not purchase a guitar that you have any QC issues with.
Unfortunately Gibson Guitars, as well as the main consumers of Gibson guitars, are more focused on growing the investment opportunities and valuation of their instruments more than refining the issues that plague them in terms of the durability, delivery and ultimately playability standardization across their lineups. Gibson's are more looked at as investment pieces and highly inflated in value to performance/presentation. I genuinely don't think Gibson's direction currently is interested in securing themselves in the eyes of players - both new and old player alike (I mean look at how the brand is perceived by younger guitarists as being "antiquated rich boomer guitars that are overpriced").
Gibsons can be good, but often your best bet is to find a good Epi version, and if need be, swap out the electronics. Although often the Epi is good as is. Also, consider Gretsch Electromatics and Streamliners! Good QC, I've found.
What you say about breaking in a new guitar, Trog, is why a few people I know have encouraged me to stick with oreowned models that have already been broke in as such. Since I kind of lost my interest in the 335 Dot after a few years of interest (I'd prefer block inlay if Icould have one) and have zero interest in signature models - I only hope that someone with neither scruple is interested in this one.
MMJ is one of the most important bands in the last 2-3 decades worldwide (I'm from Bulgaria and I know them since their debut) but I guess being great is not that much of a thing in the era of Swipe-culture... such a shame...
Really like the guitar, that walnut finish took me back to the 70s, in fact have an old Gibson brochure from 74(Kieth Richard s on the cover w black Les Paul custom)and the 335 is walnut. You done played good Trog!
Hey man, Can you do a review on the new Epiphone Casino worn line? I just picked up the worn olive drab, which looks exactly like Chris Cornell’s without the bigsby. Fitted with P90s. Designed to wear to relic like status. Build quality is great! On mine at least. These are quickly becoming hard to find. I’m curious what you think of them.
What I see is one of the most beautiful 335s with lots and lots of QC issues. There's a lot of debris inder, the neck tenon looks crooked and sloppy, glue splatters, bracing, the fret nibs, etc. Despite Austin saying "This is one of the cleaner ones I've seen" we have to face the fact that Gibson makes some of the most beautiful yet expensive and not really well finished guitars in the world.
The walnut color actually started in the 60s. I have a 68 335 walnut. Which I believe 68 was the first year if I’m wrong it’s 67 but not older than that.
To be fair my Gibson is 8 months old and straight from the factory and I noticed the same press marks on the binding and outside fret board. Doesn't affect the play of it at all but I did wonder if it was just mine!
They aren’t very well known in many circles. I’ve been listening to them since 1999, one of my favorite bands and every time I mention them to normal, pop type of music people, they never know them.
So Gibson has been having a lot of “problems” with their fretboards having tool marks, over-scrapes etc. I personally don’t mind, it doesn’t really bother me all that much but I bought 2 brand new 50’s neck Les Paul Standards a Tobacco Burst one a full year ago in Nov 2020 & Heritage Cherry Sunburst one in July 2021 & the Tobacco Burst has scratches & took marks all up & down it where as the Heritage Cherry isn’t nearly as bad but has some. Again, I personally don’t care, it’s just a sign of hand craftsmen-ship to me. Sure, I understand why people would complain about it but again I personally don’t care. My 2021 Custom Shop Custom in Alpine White is absolutely incredible & it’s the first guitar I have ever purchased that was setup so flawlessly that I didn’t even have to change the strings. But, that was $5,499.00 vs the $2,499.00 I paid for the Standards (I got them before the price increase)
I bought mine today in a store here in Spain. Mine was completely perfect. I checked every aspect by myself, and then checked against what Trogly mentions in the video, and not, mine did not have any of those details. Excellent QC.
those tooling marks are made by people who are in charge to clean any lacquer residue in the fretboard, sometimes it could look like that because they're using a rast that isn't sharp enough and sometimes just because the worker in charge didn't have a good day lol
The best my morning jacket song is In It’s Infancy (the waterfall). It’s got like a The Bresnard Lakes meets America vibe it’s tight. Check it out trog boy
As a kid when I first saw a guitar with a stained finish i wasn't that impressed as i grew older and came to appreciate a good grain in a finish I really started to fall in love with most guitars with a stained clear finish. So much so I bought an Ibanez that has seven exotic woods and mostly natural. This guitar is awesome looking.
I always wondered why they had the input jack on the front of the guitar instead of on the side of the bottom... like a Telecaster or les paul..that's an awkward place on a semi-hollow body to put a lead
This guitar is not carved on the front or back. Trogly kept saying it’s got a carved top and a carved back. This is not correct. Neither the top, nor the back, are carved.
Hey I'm no expert, but I'd say those extra large strap buttons are to help make sure it doesn't come off, because if you drop it once you just destroyed 3500$ and yet you play it with the strap buttons screw stripped!
It looks like some dealers are taking pre-orders so maybe there will be a 2nd batch in the future? Looks like all in-stock units are gone

I heard the case candy includes a hit of acid.
Seen MMJ countless times. One of the best live bands of all time. That guitar is an abs stunner. Want!
I think Gibson should add a walnut finish option to their standard 335s, I think it looks really cool.

Love the look of those Waffle-Back tuners.
Over the years I've had great luck with the Kluson Machine Tuners.
That wood grain is awesome. I’d love the front in a dark forest green.

Jim James is your favorite artist’s favorite artist. My Morning Jacket and his solo stuff is Grade-A USDA.
The top and back isn't carved, they're pressed.
I believe the binding on the neck is hand cut. That's probably why you have some inconsistencies in how it's cut around the nibs.
Indeed, only the L and CS series have a carved top, which explains why they are quite pricey.
Jim James sings the greatest ever version of Dylan's Goin' to Acapulco (with Calexico). An amazing voice.
Take a listen to his cover of Dylan's Girl from the North Country too. He's amazing.
The band name came from an old coat Jim James found that had “MMJ written on it. Many might know them from the song that broke them big: “Off the Record”. Another great track from them is “Victory Dance”, classic kind of a long and slow to get heavy track.
I've always been partial to "Golden", but it wasn't one of their big hits.
My fav has always been Wordless Chorus 🤟

Check out the song "Lay Low" by My Morning Jacket for some killer guitar work.
Brown never gets enough love.
"Brown shoes don't make it!"
Poopie Brown yes
Damn trogly, I’m envious. I saw this guitar on the internet and I instantly fell in love. I’m glad they’re all sold out because I can’t really afford it.

the darker tone matches the aesthetic. jim james definitely has a unique style... so gigantic live; killer reverb, tone, etc
The tops, backs, and sides are all steam pressed into shape. It is fun to appreciate the wiring through the f holes and pickup routes as a skilled process that cannot be easily automated like fret dressing and filing.

Customers would be overjoyed.
Shareholders less so.
You have the Norlin era, the Henry J era, then the Trogly era lol.

Nice guitar. Nice review. Now those of us who know, know, but the rest of you might want to check out MMJ live release Okanosos. Just suggesting.
Trog, have you ever done one on one of those deep bodied ES-150 D guitars? I remember those with the walnut finishes & i’m sure it was the ‘70’s!
Is there a way to tell what number out of the 300 you have? Seems strange that such a limited guitar doesn’t have that.
Great tour of this beautiful piece! Thank you!
My Morning Jacket is one of the greatest bands of all time and I would kill to get my hands on one of these guitars.
I was truly shocked that Trogly didn't know them
Nice 335. I like the Walnut finish. Good job on the playing demo. Like the case also.
To be fair my Gibson is 8 months old and straight from the factory and I noticed the same press marks on the binding and outside fret board. Doesn't affect the play of it at all but I did wonder if it was just mine!
Could you review a new es-339? The blueberry burst looks insane!
You have never heard of him?! Wow. They have been making great albums for 20 years. Give them a spin.
They aren’t very well known in many circles. I’ve been listening to them since 1999, one of my favorite bands and every time I mention them to normal, pop type of music people, they never know them.
So Gibson has been having a lot of “problems” with their fretboards having tool marks, over-scrapes etc. I personally don’t mind, it doesn’t really bother me all that much but I bought 2 brand new 50’s neck Les Paul Standards a Tobacco Burst one a full year ago in Nov 2020 & Heritage Cherry Sunburst one in July 2021 & the Tobacco Burst has scratches & took marks all up & down it where as the Heritage Cherry isn’t nearly as bad but has some. Again, I personally don’t care, it’s just a sign of hand craftsmen-ship to me. Sure, I understand why people would complain about it but again I personally don’t care. My 2021 Custom Shop Custom in Alpine White is absolutely incredible & it’s the first guitar I have ever purchased that was setup so flawlessly that I didn’t even have to change the strings. But, that was $5,499.00 vs the $2,499.00 I paid for the Standards (I got them before the price increase)
I wonder if the damage on your 335 was strictly an error on your specific 335, or if they all ended up like that.
I bought mine today in a store here in Spain. Mine was completely perfect. I checked every aspect by myself, and then checked against what Trogly mentions in the video, and not, mine did not have any of those details. Excellent QC.
What's the difference between an ABR1 and a Nashville bridge, aside from the studs in the body? Like, what makes this an ABR1, not a Nashville?
I feel like Jim’s signature should be the V with the mirror pickguard
There’s an American Dad episode about My Morning Jacket, check it out!
It will go from a limited edition to a
Somewhat limited version with even more flaws than we've come to expect from Gibson for $3500
I wonder if Gibson will sell the pickups separate?
those tooling marks are made by people who are in charge to clean any lacquer residue in the fretboard, sometimes it could look like that because they're using a rast that isn't sharp enough and sometimes just because the worker in charge didn't have a good day lol
The best my morning jacket song is In It’s Infancy (the waterfall). It’s got like a The Bresnard Lakes meets America vibe it’s tight. Check it out trog boy
The first I heard of My Morning Jacket and Jim James was an American Dad episode.
I'm thinking other than the Plain old Dot lnays,, that is one beautiful guitar... that Walnut is really nice.
Mine has perfect frets setup. I guess each guitar is different. The strap lock button at the tail is loose indeed :)
But, what is it about Gibson QC? At $3,500+ how do they get away with the scratches and tooling marks and the like?
Damn ,I'm old and pretty much stuck in the 90's musically. I have never heard of this guy.
I'm a fan of natural finishes and that one is pretty great
They first came out in the 90s. The band has been playing for close to thirty years at this point.
The first four albums are fantastic.
Cool I was hoping you were going to review this one. I used to have a 335 and hated it, but I’m still drawn to them
I know them from American Dad. Best show hands down.
Lol. That’s how I know them, too!
Touch me I’m gonna scream. I want one of these guitars.
I said on the Gibson vídeo that he gonna go crazy for that owl...was damn right. Lol!
I’d be tempted to upgrade that bridge.
I dig the jj 335.i like the walnut.looks cool
I love the look and sound of this guitar.
Love that brown color, more of this please.
Rush called and they want their owl back!
My favorite 335 color! This is the 335 for me
As a kid when I first saw a guitar with a stained finish i wasn't that impressed as i grew older and came to appreciate a good grain in a finish I really started to fall in love with most guitars with a stained clear finish. So much so I bought an Ibanez that has seven exotic woods and mostly natural. This guitar is awesome looking.
I’ve heard of the band but not that guy. Love this guitar though. I’m jealous.
I always wondered why they had the input jack on the front of the guitar instead of on the side of the bottom... like a Telecaster or les paul..that's an awkward place on a semi-hollow body to put a lead
Trogly, you need to see the episode of American Dad! with My Morning Jacket in it xD
Wicked guitar! Really love that neck pup
This guitar is not carved on the front or back. Trogly kept saying it’s got a carved top and a carved back. This is not correct. Neither the top, nor the back, are carved.
I was thinking "I know who Jimmy James is, the singer from the Vagabonds"
Turns out I was wrong!

Hey I'm no expert, but I'd say those extra large strap buttons are to help make sure it doesn't come off, because if you drop it once you just destroyed 3500$ and yet you play it with the strap buttons screw stripped!
