    Ah, thanks for that video! I have the exact same guitar, and each time I take it somewhere, be it a shop to friends (great musicians!) they all go mad about the frets, like " wow, these are all worn out, never seen such flat and low frets, this guitar needs to be refretted!". It's plays beautifully and I never believed anyone, but finally I found this video of the exact same guitar that shows the actual fretwork close up and it's exactly like mine. Now I just need to figure out what wrong with the tone pots that only do something between 0 and 3...... Anyway, a wonderful guitar it is indeed! Thanks again

I've been trying to get my head around that half step whole step or the other way around thing, but I can't find myself wanting it strongly enough to put in the hours to learn it. It seems so effortless the way you do it, and I'd love to come to that level. There is a code for how to put it into a musical context that I've not quite been able to crack yet.🤔

    I have a 2020 335 that I stumbled across. Same color as this one. It is 7.5 pounds - plays and sounds great. I have left it stock. I don't think it needs anything done to it. They are still making great ones - but I think like the old days, you have to take your time choosing. Every one of them might not be great. Also, I once had a 1995 335. The neck angle on that one was really messed up - set way too far back. Apparently this was common in the 1990s due their building jigs aging (I think I am remembering this right). This is one of the (many) reasons ones from the 1980s, 1990s and maybe into the 2000s play so differently than old ones. On the 1995 model - the bridge screws had to be way up off the body - almost at maximum - for it to play - this caused it to not play very well. They have fixed that issue on the new ones - pretty sure I have heard that they rebuilt or replaced the old, original building jigs - my 2020 bridge and stop tail are at perfect height - not decked, but low to the body - and the neck angle is great. Anyway, longer reply than I intended. For anyone out there, if you look at one from the 1980s and 1990s (and maybe early 2000s), check the bridge height. I think you won't find this issue on the current production models. Paul, you should eventually seek out another 335.

The last time I uploaded a video on YT was 4 months ago because I became so frustrated on how difficult it is to learn jazz! I said I would go on hiatus to really learn jaz but what I found out surprised me! After some reflection, I ralized I missed the fun ofjust playing guitar and how I got stuck at intermediate level. I am 65 now and started playing guitar at age 11 mostly acoustic until about 1989 when I picked up electric guitar. Anyway it was druing this hiatus that I started playing other genres again relearning funk and some of those double stops that made me smile. I even started playing my telecasters again. Then I remembered your channel and after viewing videos there, you have inspired me to just have fun with the guitar. I am still working on my jazz but I am not pouring all my time and effort there. Now I am having fun and learning so much from your channel and rebonding with my telecaster! Thank you! Next time I upload a video, I will share what I reflected on the last 4 months and will gibve your channel a shout out! I'm getting older now and I may as well have FUN playing guitar! Cheers Paul and apologies for the veryu long response!

    Hello faither, as ever a great wee video, love that red beauty and all it's mellowness (is that even a word). So, here is today's nonsense. 1. Fellas on a stag night go into a Muslim strip club and all the guys are shouting SHOW US YOUR FACE. 2. Did I tell you about the guy who suffered from alcohol constipation ?, He couldn't pass a pub. 3. A couple go into a restaurant, she orders a fillet steak, he orders the octopus, the waiter tells him it's a 3 hour wait for the octopus, when he asks why, the waiter says " it keeps turning off the gas".

    1973 was the worst goddamned year of my life. Something like this would have made it more bearable.

    Nice. Check out the Epiphone/ Gibson Custom Shop collaboration. The recent ES-355 release is definitely worth testing. Grover tuners, Gibson custom buckers, CTS pots, Gibson shaped headstock and a high quality build. It’s really impressive and won’t need a house remortgage. Fret ends need rounding off perhaps but other than that Epiphone/Gibson CS seem to have filled the gap for a high quality guitar that won’t cost the earth.

      Thanks Paul. I’ve just been watched the link you sent. It was an enjoyable watch, and I’ve gotta say, I really liked the tones he was getting!

    I love it Paul!! That's my absolute favorite color and probably the top 3 guitars of all time! So delicious! They're was a guest on that pedal show that knows Dan I believe he was an old band member but he had his vintage 335 re finished in a watermelon red I've never seen a guitar so gorgeous!

      Glad you liked it. Yeah, that Watermelon shade is particularly attractive. Cheers for watching 🍻
