That's about the best 8-minute history review of a guitar that you are ever going to see, and this guy is a true gear-head. Great vid and thanks for posting.
That's why Gibson grabbed him!
Didn't mention P90s on the 330
This is why Gibson asked him to join them. His knowledge, personality, professionality, salesmanship, guitar skills and management skills. He has done a lot for the brand since joining. Go get ‘em M.A.!
Back when I was a kid in 64' I begged mom for a 335 and with a lot of sacrafice xmas came and there was my guitar. Like most kids I lost interest and there it sat. My brother picked it up and ran with it. And to this day still has it. Now that I'm retired and interested in playing again I don't have the heart to ask for it. So I bought my own. Maybe someday he'll swing by and fall in love with my new one. I doubt it very much, good for him, for sticking with it. It's in the family and that's all that count, luv u mom.
JukeBoxHero 's Wow! That’s a good Bro you are!
Use or loose it, that’s the thing
A great mom God bless her.
I'd love to see more of these Brief History Vids
That cherry red '62 335 is absolutely gorgeous
True2
Great vid!!! Its one thing reading about this stuff but I love how here we can see all the models and form a timeline
9 years ago, damn, the time just flies by.
Great job Mark. Thanks for the info
Great info on this video! I love my 66 ES335 with the tailpiece. I think it looks nicer that the one without it. Got it when it was new!!
4:53 "Jen, let me get behind you real quick."
Anthony C "as you can see here this is a 69"
“this has a wide nut”
"a little bit more meat to it"
I think a lot of us would like to do that Mark
I miss seeing him in Norm's
Mark, outstanding video as always. I always know that if you're involved, it will be a great watch. Thanks and Merry Christmas!
My 4 year old daughter just inherited a 63 sunburst 335 from her amazing grandfather who sadly passed away. Think I need to learn to play quick so I can look after it and keep it warm till shes older!
That was very informative thank you all at Normans rare guitars
Love your program! Awesome as always
Tons of great info, excellent video!
So glad you did this video . Thanks , PEACE !
One of my favorite guitars !
Awesome video,,you for sure gave the history,thanks
They are all beautiful if you ask me and every one of them out of my price range. I often wonder how Norman ends up with so many Mint Condition old guitars. I never see beat up guitars in any of the videos. I know if they are in mint condition they probably fetch Mint Condition money as well. I'm sure he has to pay a good amount to to get them, but I I know he sells them for more than he pays for them otherwise he couldn't stay in business. Guitars to me are more than just a musical instrument they are beautiful works of art and stand orn that Merit alone. The Vox amp he shows in the video is a piece of artwork to me as well.
Fantastic documentary by the incredible Mark Agnesi..
Would love to see more of these types of videos.
I bought an epi dot. Love that guitar. Cheap as dirt, and has such a great tone if your thinking of dipping a toe into 335s
i totally agree i wanted to get a335 but after comparing them i went with the epi (korean) dot.iv'e had mine for 15 years and it is truly a great sounding and playing ax. i have a bunch of guitars (i'm single) as many as 35 at one point but when it came to archtops i always reached for the dot, great sustain too...
My Epiphone Dot is awesome! An old Peerless factory one from ‘04
Lovely instruments. Thanks for doing this.
Well done video on the history of the 335.
great history lesson! love it
This guy know his stuff. Wish my local guys knew everything like this too a tee! Walking encyclopedia.
Only other thing I would mention is the pickup changes from PAF, to the patent number pre-T Tops to the start of T-tops around 1967
Mark he is a really good person talking about different guitars
More videos like his please Mark very informational I appreciate it
A dream work :) regards from France
thanks for the history on 335's. this room looks like guitar heaven!! haha..thumbs up!
I can't play a note but always loved this type of guitar. Beautiful shape. Andy Scott from The Sweet used a '63 cherry red model on most of their hits.
Thanks, Mark! Very interesting.
I'm buying my first real gibson 335 and this helped a lot. Thanks mark and norm for the videos
I NEVER put a guitar into a case and not fully latch it closed. Ive seen a friend do that and then pick up the case a few minutes later. Needless to say the guitar crashed to the floor. I always check the latches prior to picking up a case.... you never know when somebody forgot rule #1.
I never do either. On the other hand, one of my guitars, nicely enclosed in a fully latched hard case, did slide out of the back of the pickup truck one winter night - fortunately on a dirt road.
I made that mistake with my SG :, (
Mark you’re a plethora of guitar info. 🤘🏻⚡️🎸
Mark your a wealth of knowledge thanks
Very informative, and eye-opening. I've wanted an ES330/dogears for so long, until now. I never knew they were ALL full hollow. If they had a center-block, I'd get one. Wahi' Valleys
Thanks brother.
Thanks for these vids
When was the last time you heard the word "parallelogram" in a UA-cam vid?!?? This is plainly awesome! Thanks for the great videos!
2 Questions re the ES series: (1) What year did the PAF pickups give way to other pickups? & (2) What year did the wide-low frets give way to the typical frets of today?
Markkkk on an old video wow also I love these guitars
HI from Australia: just caught up with this vid years after you made it. . Thanks so much for uploading. Did they evermade a 335 styled Bass?
Great song and also one of the most memorable solos ever. It always means a lot to me when great players are also really nice people too. Great video!!!
Beautiful.
Enjoyed that very much. You might have mentioned the 335/Bigsby with the "custom made" plaque to hide the stop bar holes. Otherwise great overview of a fantastic model Gibson.
That didn't sound bad at all Norm! I imagine being surrounded by great guitarists every day can be intimidating, but you sounded good. We love the videos and interviews with all the greats that come through, and the guitar videos too - thanks for all that. I came in to your store once on my birthday with my dad when I was a teenager (100 years ago), and my (cheap) father asked to see the least expensive steel string acoustics you had, but even the least expensive (a Gibson) was too much for him, so unfortunately we weren't there long. I ended-up getting an inexpensive used Sigma D-18 copy somewhere, but it had a solid top and was a pretty good box. I'm a shy player too, but you aren't bad at all, so don't worry about it and play-on bro...!
(the comment above was meant to go under Norm playing a ES-330. Sorry - the medicine I grow is STRONG.)
Love it!
Nice history of guitars brother :)
7:13, I like that one with the P-90's!
Really good, thanks Mark.
Cool thanks
This was really interesting, could you do more of these? Greetings from holland
Great vid. That first 335 was gorgeous! And this guy knows his stuff.
Unfortunately, he doesn't.
Interesting point - that
Epiphone Casino = equivalent of Les Paul 330
Thanks
Great video, I learnt a lot in a short time. Now regret trading my ES335TDC on a new sunburst LP with the mini humbuckers quite a few years ago. Oh yeah! one final thought, why oh why do some of you guys have to be so personal and rude with your feedback comments!!!!!
Nice one Mark, cheers (:
Could you do a short video on the 325? There is not much info anywhere so it would be awesome if you guys could tell us a little bit about that guitar.
Nice overview of the chronology and features of the 335 models. Can you do one on the Epiphone Dots, Mark?
awesome video, i just purchased an 1993 es 335 in ebony with the dotted neck, how rare is that one?
didnt know the red 335's came later. thought those were the first finishes and the tobacco burst and natural ones were later. good vid man
my fav guitar
nice video man.
can you do a video about Thunderbird basses?
if you got some of course
One heck of a playground you have. Thanks for the video. If the walls could talk....
Very surprised he doesn't mention that after '62 or so, most 335s have an open center block under the bridge pickup, like the 345/355, instead of the solid center block used previously. This was a production rationalization so Gibson only had to make one basic body. The opening is to allow the assembly of the VAritone on 345/355. Makes a HUGE difference in tone. Gibson makes some '59 reissues with a solid center block, some with the open block. A true '59-'62 spec replica won't have the open block.
You should do a vid history of VOX amps and Plexi's too if you have em. Those are the signature tones that made those guitars legends!
guitars are cool
Hey great video, ES 335 Cherry red, wide nut, block inlay-you guys got one and how much?
Do the smartwood series please!
that first one was just.... Wow.
Mark, please tell us about nylon saddles, wires and dates on ABR-1s Marc
Knowledgable demonstration. I'm new to 335 history, so this was enjoyable. Recently bought a Custom Shop Nashville 63 block model, and loving' it! Thank you Mark for sharing your knowledge, and busting out some guitars for us to see!
👏👏👏 clap clap. awesome
Okay, so how much for the red cherry 335 '65?
can you guys do fender mustangs?
Anyone know about Alex Lifeson's ES335, is it a custom? As far as I know he bought it in 1976, it has the stereo knob like the ES345 here, and its a very rare white model. Any info about it are appreciated.
This was very cool and informative. You should pick a different vintage guitar and do a video every day.
5:44 ... Splitting humbuckers and coil-tapping are two different things though, right ... ?
You don't need to coil-tap to turn humbuckers into single coils ... just split them ...
Coil tapping reduces the output of a single coil.
I wanted the 335 but it was bulky. After research I bought the Epiphone 339. Being smaller and arch top it sounds and plays great. I very seldom use coil tapping. I haven't got that far in 7 years. It's sound is versatile.
I have a question. Why do the finishes on the 59 Sunburst LP's fade out, but you never see a faded 335 that is sunburst? Thanks!
very informative and lots of sexy guitars!
I think there are two es330's. One has the neck joined identical to the es335, the other is joined at the 17th fret.
Also, we should mention that the first 335's had no binding
yeah mine is is joined exactly like a 335 , I think it's a 69
I saw a Gibson semi hollow with a plate with a number at the joint of the neck and body.the guitar weight seemed heavy to me when I picked it up.It had block inlays at the fret and at the top where the strings are attached can someone tell me from what year this guitar is, I am thinking it is a newer guitar because of the plate at the body and neck joint.Thank you
Marc has a very good knowledge of Gibson guitars. Gibson made the right choice by hiring him.
Excellent explanation of the ES family
Your thoughts on Gibson ES-335TD CRS Sunburst 1979
What about the ES 347??
What are your opinions on Epiphone Sheratons made in 1980-1982 in Kalamazoo? What price range is reasonable? Super hard for me to find information.
You left out 347s ... :( ... One of the best! Rock MACHINES !!!
What year did Gibson return to the 1 11/16th nut width on the 335's
+Leland Isley 1982 i believe, when they returned to vintage spec.
mark seems like a top fella and he knows his shiz though i wish he would cover that gold ring when flippin guitars over,
just sayin',,
what a job
Gibson used to NAIL DOWN their necks in '59 on the 335's ????
What year did Gibson go back to stoptail on the 335? I am lusting over a 1973 walnut and it is trapeze... wasn't sure if it was meant as a reissue or if that's how they were all built that year...
is it safe to assume then that the 330 is comparable to the Epi Casino? Being all hollow with soapbars?
do you yall have any es 336's?
You have any Harmony brother?
is there any history to the ES-339 or is it a modern invention?
It's a modern invention by Gibson in the 2000's
What about the ES 347?
Mark stresses me out in these close quarters, like it could potentially hit the headstock against the wood. anxiety!
