- In this 211th installment, Jimmy reaches back and has a little “Nostalgia Day” and gives Billy Bob (Grote GR35 MT) a little “blues love” and some play time. This guitar was first introduced on the channel 3 years ago in Feb of 2021 and another fun “335” style from the herd! Surprisingly, still available on Amazon! Thanks for watching!!

Wow! 3 years! I remember this guitar when it first came to your studio. Billy Bob is a playah! Great memories, Jimmy! Happy Super Bowl Weekend!
Hi Cal B…I know man…where does the time go, right? Glad you enjoyed and remember the debut….truly appreciate it!! 🙏👍
Thanks Jimmy for making this recommendation to me 3 years ago. First P90 guitar for me and has converted me to a huge P90 fan.
My pleasure man….thanks so much for stopping into the channel and sharing! 🎸👍
still sounds great, Jimmy.
Thanks so much ekw555….always appreciate your stopping in! 🙏👍
Hey Jimmy!! Been a few. I'm a Grote guy. Biggest bang for the buck out there.
Hi Tim! Nice to see you drop in! Much thanks…🎸👍
I love the feel good blues you play. Very enjoyable my friend ✌️
Hi David…thanks so very much. So glad you enjoyed it! Really do appreciate your stopping in…🙏👍
From Leo: (the other one ) Thanks for revisiting that guitar. Many times we see a guitar and never see it again. It is good to know that the neck did not become problematic as it settled in with age. Straight traditional blues are always fun. Playing them on a semi hollow just feels right.
Thanks so much Leo…truly appreciate it! It’s fun pulling a guitar out that you have not played in awhile….decided it needed some “blues love”! 😎
Thanks Jimmy for the sweet sounds. Glad you are apparently feeling more better. I have that Grote in red, never took the time to set it up but it is sure a looker! Still far away from the snow here in the sunny Philippines.
Hi fleetfoot….thanks so much for watching and commenting. Glad you enjoyed! Enjoy yours…get it out and play it!! 🎸🎸
Awesome JS🎸《☆》Nice demo Brother👍🏾🍺🤳I had an Epiphone Casino I got on Craigs list. It was a Package deal including a VOX AD50VT amp. I kept the amp but sold the Casino. It was a Natural finish John Lennon custom shop model. I wouldn't mind having another semi hollow guitar. The Casino retained the smell of pipe tobacco from a previous owner. It smelled kindly nice. Go 49ers🍺😁🏈Who said that✌🏼😎☯️
Thanks so much BDOG…glad you enjoyed it! This I think has the feel and bark of the Casino…I could probably live with a pipe tobacco Casino…😎
As always, truly appreciate your stopping in! 🎸👍
✌🏼 It's good to be on the good side with you Jimmy. 😊
I really enjoy your reviews and the revisitation of Billy Bob 🎸 and those magical P90's. 👍🏼👏🏼
If I could make a suggestion...
... a compilation of your jam sessions, full length and uncut! 🤯
I'm not a 🏈🪭, and the super 🥣 is a glorified day for endless commercials 😢. A Jimmy Stewart cavalcade of non stop jamming 🎸🎙️🎼🎶🎵📻🎧👍🏼👏🏼 would absolutely dominate the TV 📺 on this weekend, or any day!!!
You 🪨! 😂😂😂
Hi Jorge!! Thanks so very much…glad to hear you enjoyed it! I like your suggestion…just don’t know how much people would watch, but have also thought about that myself…hmmm…not this weekend but perhaps in the near future. 🤔
Let me ponder that for a bit….🙏👍
That video's views would be a world 🌎 record setting, history making masterpiece!🥇🏆🏅 (and that's just from the times I would watch it...)

🤣🤣
You’re too kind….🙏🙏
What a fantastic video have a good day Jimmy also how is the weather today ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks so much Amin…. Weather is currently fine, but heading into another Winter Storm Warning tomorrow into Tuesday…expecting a foot of snow…🥶
Jimmy, I have been looking at 335 models. Grote models and HB 35 +. Nice happy playing!!!! And Happy Valentines Day.
Hi David….thanks so much for watching and commenting. So glad to hear you enjoyed it! I have a number of good, decent playing/feeling/sounding 335 style guitars in the herd. No HB 335 style however. The Firefly 338 is another favorite…and they had the Monoprice Boardwalk (my orange finish in the video) on sale recently as well. I have full reviews and demo’s of them all here on the channel. Happy shopping and thanks again for stopping into the channel! 🎸👍
Super Bowl or not. I always have time for your videos. Nice to see Billy Bob is still a great guitar. 3 years? Man time flies! Anyway thanks for the video and everything that you do. My Chiefs are playing in the big game today, so Go Chiefs!
Hi Tim…always nice to have you stop in my friend…truly appreciate it! Yeah, where does the time go, right?? All the best to your Chiefs!! 🎸👍
I have two of the dark red versions of that Grote. The humbucker version uses the name Redid on the headstock. Other than that, it is identical. Absolutely love them both. I wish the green version would have been available at the time as I would have opted for that. Can't really complain though. The Ebay guy only had red and sunburst which I did not care for. They were very well discounted since I bought two and he threw in free shipping.
Hi Squib…thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, the Redid brand is also made by Grote. Congrats on yours! Appreciate your stopping into the channel and sharing! 🎸👍
Grote makes some excellent guitars,the necks are really nice ,I have one of their SGs,I missed out on the turquoise color long ago,found a black one at a thrift store and I like having the first fret marker, just like this 335,nice color, these are well built guitars.
Hi 2Daze…Yeah, I have a few and like them all, along with the SG…
Truly appreciate your stopping in and sharing your thoughts! Much thanks my friend…🎸👍
Nice 🤘
Thanks so much papa…much appreciated! 🎸👍
Great video. Love the playing. Hollow bodies have such a nice look... and I like that green. This model's big bottom goes to 11. It's pretty wide. Ha. Love it. Thanks for the treat.
I almost forgot, if you (or someone else who has one) happen to get a moment while you're around your collection and wouldn't mind measuring the 3-way switch nut on the IYV thinline tele, it'd be appreciated. I just need the size number so that I can order one (e.g., M6). All the best!
Hi Rob…thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed it! I forgot all about trying to measure that 3-way switch nut on the IYV…my bad. I have a set of calipers that I was going to use, but don’t know if that will actually give you what you are looking for. I think you will also need to know the thread type along with the inside/outside diameter, right? I do know that it’s not a standard hexagonal style nut…it’s round.
Great playing as always. I’ve never played a Grote, but I sure dig that green matte finish! Take care.
Thanks again for stopping by! Truly appreciate it! 🎸👍
nice ones brother!!
im kindof "pervin" over the grote LP special on bamazon haha!!
it has 2vol/2tones with soapy p90s....im looking at 2 colors of it...TV yellow and the surfy green model....either one or the other haa!!!
Thanks man…FF has just dropped their double cut’s again too…
Good Sunday evening dear Jimmy, very nice video of a great guitar. I have a Gretsch similar in color but with 2 HBs. Those P90's sound fantastic. I'll have to get a guitar with them in the future but I'm currently in the effects stage, 2 more reverbs will be delivered tomorrow. A total of 25 effects since November last year, I have to stop the madness, also for peace in the family😀. Greetings Pavel CZ.👍👍👍
Hi Pavel…thanks so much for watching and glad you enjoyed it. Having a 335 style semi with P90’s is a joy! We all go through the “effects stage” and many never come out…😎 Chasing tone (as I like to call it) can be a full time occupation 🎸👍
@@JimmyStewart1 Totally agree, my wife just nods her head in silence now....thank goodness for her😀. On the other hand, a few months ago she had a friend visiting her, she traveled the whole world (her hobby is diving) and she told her after visiting my mini-studio, she had never seen anything like this in her life. I wish you a beautiful Sunday and a nice new and especially calm week. Pavel CZ.👍👍👍
@@user-wv1ef2my2t
Thanks so much…your wife sounds like a wonderful woman! Was hoping for a calm week, but now we are looking at another Winter Weather Warning with a big snow storm heading our way…🥶
@@JimmyStewart1 Hi Jimmy, my wife is my support and it hasn't always been easy, for more than 35 years I've been almost always at work, children, little vacation, but then again something will be left after us....maybe for the children. The weather is completely different here than in previous years as far as I can remember, before it used to be -15 degrees. C, yesterday + 16 . C. A strange period. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you can endure the weather and that it passes quickly. Hello Pavel.😀👍
@@user-wv1ef2my2t
My wife and I celebrated 45 years in Jan….🙏👍
Thanx jimmy I love your reviews but I can decide between a Harley Benton with p90's or a Grote. My only real concern is ceramic pick ups. As long as the grote has alnico p90's I might give it a try.
Hi Timothy…thanks so much for watching and commenting. I have never pulled the pups on the Grote to verify what they are to be honest….they are some of the better sounding “stock” dog ear P90’s in my opinion. I know that HB uses their “in house brand” Roswell pickups. Their humbuckers are a bit enemic for my taste, but I don’t have a HB model with P90’s…Truly appreciate your stopping into the channel and glad to hear you are enjoying it! Much thanks…🎸👍
I’m watching Jimmy. I’ll watch the Super Bowl tomorrow. My Eagles aren’t in it, so I don’t care who wins. Love P90’s though. Are they Alnico or Ceramic P90’s?
Hi 3card…thanks so much man!! Truly appreciate your stopping in…pickups…you not I am not sure. I have never pulled them to check, but I really like the stock P90’s Grote uses on both this and their single P90 Jazz box. I believe them to probably be ceramics, but I honestly don’t know for sure. 🎸👍
I was thinking about getting one after watching your original review. They are really cool looking, but I have never laid my hands on any Grote, so don't know what the neck feels !ike.
Hi Chance…thanks for stopping in. Neck feels great on these. Satin back…modern C…12” radius as I recall….Standard Gibby 24.75 scale…
That Grote is definitely unique-it’s NOT often you find a 335-type guitar with P90’s. That spalted maple FF338 looks unique, too! So did you figure out the issue with the Ace Frehley LP yet? BTW, I seem to recall you also have a Trampas Green Firefly LP, right? HERE’S A FUN FACT: Trampas Green was actually named after Trampas Ferree, the employee at PRS who originally came up with that color. I wonder why Firefly decided to offer a PRS color on one of their Gibson-style models…
Hi PG….Yeah, Billy Bob is unique….me likes! 👍
The Spalted FF338 I installed a Duesenberg Les Trem ll on…it’s also very nice. My FFLP is a 1st run “Olive” color…it wasn’t until later batches that they changed the color slightly to “Trampus” green. The colors are actually different as well…not sure the reasoning…perhaps they thought it would sell more? 🤔
Thanks as always for stopping in my friend…always appreciated! 🎸👍
@@JimmyStewart1 I guess it’s possible… Trampas Green is famous, after all, so I’m guessing it probably wasn’t too hard for them to change it from Olive to Trampas… In other words, maybe it was just a little work for a big gain in color recognition. 😂 So what’s the deal with the Ace Frehley LP? 😉
@@zuperdee
Yeah…I am sure it was more of a selling point for them. I have not had the chance to get to look into the Ace FFSP as of yet….still to cold out at my workbench in the garage, and I have been hesitant to move the equipment I need into the house but will probably do so to try and get it sorted….calling for another big snow storm here in the next couple days…so much for Phil….🤣
@@JimmyStewart1 Phil? Phil Conners?!? 😂
@@zuperdee
No…the weather rodent…😎
