D-13 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Hey folks before I go to RushCon and after I graduate i'm gettin myself a new guitar Was just wondering your opinion first...Most likely to be getting a Gibson...always wanted one and now I want one. I was either thinking the usual Les Paul or an Epiphone archtop (ya know the one that Alex has I know his is a 355....but I like the 335 that I saw in the local guitar shop near my house ....still don't know what to get...and can someone please tell me the diff between hallowed and semi hallowed guitars? I'll show you a few that I like... Goth Les Paul Studio one Goth 335 dot.. 335 And I absoultly wouldn't mind an SG.. Angus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveyt Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 i like the 335 but i'm sure the audio pro guys on here can tell you a bunch o stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My_Shrimp_Cot Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Well, I want an American Deluxe Telecaster...for some reason. I've been dreaming about them. They are about $1000 less than a Gibson but still versatile with the S-1 switching. Any more thoughts? mmmm...Cobalt noiseless pickups.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 D-13, given your choices I would go with the 335. A Gibson Angus SG will be quite expensive, in the 2-3 k range. Their other models will be less expensive, but still arond $1100, maybe less. I would choose a Les Paul Standard over the Goth. A Goth model may not have a maple top, part of the Les Paul signature sound and design. Without the maple top it is a thick single cut SG. MSC, an American Deluxe Tele is a nice piece. Worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-13 Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 ooo thanks for the info Cyg!! i'll take that advice on the goth one...I liked the other colors anyways on the Les Paul and ES-335 Thanks for the info again! anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Yeah, if you can find a good Les Paul Standard for your price range get that above all else. The Standards have really nice wood finishes (except of course for Gold Tops) and are all about the tone. Some Les Paul Customs don't even have maple tops. They just don't have the same tone.

Might as well be buying a candy bar and expecting it to produce beautiful effects That's a Gibson guitar. A headstock fix can be done. I've seen it. It ain't cheap, but for $5 initial investment, taking it to a good luthier will yield a nice sounding piece, I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffon67 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Mr. X-1 is correct. I would also gladly take that guitar for $5. Headstock repairs are quite common on Gibby electrics (and likely just as stable on an acoustic). Who do I send the cheque to? Cheers -gf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
