This Is An Amazing 335!
Lately, I have been on an absolute roll when it comes to trading music gear and this may be the best trade I have made to date.
It is very difficult to find information on these via the WWW and Epiphone, for whatever reason, does not maintain any kind of reference page for discontinued guitars on their website. They could learn something from Fender in this area as Fender now has a serial number look-up feature with extensive information on lines that they no longer produce.
In any case, my particular ES-335 was made in 2018 and is alleged to have a Rosewood fretboard. I have no way to confirm this, but if it is Rosewood, it appears to be of a very light variety.
That aside, this is an astounding guitar that is far better than I had imagined! I really like the 12" radius on the neck and the width is great for a ham-fisted amateur player such as myself. It sounds fantastic as well! I have it paired with a Fender Mustang LT50 and can get any tone I want out of it.
While it does have the coil splitting feature, I do not see myself using that much as I have a Squier CV Tele for true single-coil twang.
If you are looking at one of these I can recommend it without hesitation. I much prefer it to the current line where Epiphone has decided to go with dots instead of blocks on the fretboard.
