From Epiphone:
The First Epiphone Signature Model for the My Morning Jacket Guitarist
Jim James, the vocalist, producer, primary songwriter, and guitarist for My Morning Jacket, has long impressed fans worldwide with his band and his solo projects. He now has his very own Epiphone signature model. Based on one of his favorite guitars, the Epiphone Jim James ES-335 features a Seventies Walnut-finished 5-ply laminated maple body with a solid maple center block for increased sustain and a mahogany neck with a Jim James Custom SlimTaper™ C profile and an Indian laurel fretboard with dot inlays. The Alnico Classic PRO™ pickups are paired with CTS® potentiometers and Orange Drop® capacitors. Personal touches include vintage-style Kluson® Waffleback tuners with metal buttons, a circle/arrow emblem on the truss rod cover, and an owl decal on the back of the headstock. A hardshell case with an owl logo is also included.

I've owned a couple of Epi 335s in the past and never bonded with one. This video got me interested in the Jim James model and I came across one in Guitar Center in Boston. Played it for 10 minutes and I was a goner. Neck is the best on any Epi I've ever played, and the tone is great - terrific character from neck and bridge pickups. Bought it. Loving it. Thanks for the push!
I’ve always been an SG guy but this is a beautiful guitar and it sounds great. Dude I gotta say your playing is disgustingly good. Great vid, as usual.
I don't think anything looks better than a dark stained wood. That thing is beautiful.
Very cool guitar. I'm glad to see Jim get a sig, too.
Im Soo excited they released this as an epiphone, I always loved these 70s walnut/tobacco 335s and the Owl is my spirit animal, also MMJ rules. I couldn't justify the pricetag on the Gibson so this is absolutley perfect. Im about to list a couple Gretche's now to fund this.
Bought one....absolutely love it! Amazing quality and finish!
Very Cool, Thankyou. Stunning guitar and playing. Cheers
Great review, thank you.
Epiphone’s quality lately is amazing. They really had to up their game with companies like Sire taking market away.
Got. Inspired by Gibson ES335 Epi so I’m good but this one is a looker!
Wow, this is a real beauty! And it has a beautiful sound too😍.
I wish I could afford all the gear you recommend...😳
I’d love to understand why some signature models are at prices we would expect while others seem to be double with as much or less to offer. This model is a great value for sure and is still at old prices for signature models. I really respect that.
I’m hoping to see a Dave Grohl 335 from Epiphone. There were a couple of short Gibson runs a while back. He should have a model permanently available. I’d like to hope he’d influence Epiphone )and even Gibson) to keep the quality/value high and prices low. He loves his fans and I’m hoping he can make this happen and pay it forward by helping more people enjoy a DG 335.
Getting back to the guitar at hand, this is a really nice option. I personally prefer the Trini diamonds to the f holes, but as a 70’s replica, Jim James’ guitar nails that vibe. I had no idea he would be releasing this model, so thanks for letting us know!
Cool looking guitar and specs, although that is a painfully thin neck for a 335 type. Honestly not loving the sound of those Epi pups, little bit muddy sounding…I think prospective buyers would happily pay the difference if Epi put some Gibson pups in it. I have a recent Epi Bona ES-335 and it’s really a terrific guitar, it certainly hold its own with my Gibson Traditional ES-335. Thanks for the review ✌️
Sweet guitar!! I'm psyched you reviewed this. I missed the Gibson version but this is just as nice especially for only $899.
You guys are truly killin' it! I'm not a fan of the artist but that is one tasty sig model!
Great looking guitar and helpful video. Liked and subscribed! Didn’t care for the pickups but that is fixable with a bit of agony.
I love the look I have a Gibson ES 330 with Humbuckers that looks identical...if it had a bigger neck I'd buy it...that said I will hold out for a Trini Lopez/DG model that I think is coming maybe with a Bigsby ? Great demo and review guys !!!
I love watching these videos. Especially love dreaming about winning that custom shop guitar. That green!! Whoooo!!!
Im in Louisville, love some MMJ, but I have to wait for price decrease.
The Epiphone unplugged is loud and resonant. Love the slim neck..they're my favorites . I'm sold I want one. Great video. Awesome playing and tone from the Gibson pickups though I will swap them out for a set of Duncan 59s. My preference is the Alnico V pickups
The pickups in my IBG 335 LE are Alnico 5 magnets and wound to Gibson '57 PAF specs. I have seen a teardown...the electronics are also high quality. I have a 1978 Gibson ES 175 with the standard humbucker in the neck and an SD PAF from '80 in the bridge. The Epiphone pickups sound just as nice with a different tone palette and the neck carve is different as well, but feels fantastic. It has wider shoulders but is still fast. Mine came out of the box from GC needing a good bit of fret polishing, buffing and oiling and complete setup which i did myself. After that, the guitar is nearly perfect...an absolute joy to play and a broad array of tones beautifully articulated and rings like a bell.
Lovely clean tone
You are tearing it up! Went back and listened again. lol
A delicious walnut finish Epiphone 355! This would make a tasty treat in the stomach ... er, i mean the collection of any hungry guitarist! Great video and overview!
Probably this one. It's in my local store right now. Gonna head in there and check it out!
I've got two Gibson 335's, but wouldn't I love have this too !!!
I get myself a Epi ES Traditional a few years back love it except sometimes I wish it had the slim neck might have to try this one out plus the walnut is so dark it looks black.
I have the IG ES335 in sunburst with the 58 chunky neck and the Worn Ebony Casino which I added a bone nut to and I have to say, they are both keepers and great guitars ...the 335 can cover so much sonic ground. I love the P90s on the Casino as well. The Casino has that D shaped skinny neck and I got used to it after a short while. I like that Walnut finish a lot....had a friend with a Walnut Gibson 335 that was like that a bit.Epiphone has really produced some quality players instruments over the last few years.
@@gregmock6808 Looks like everyone has won. Scam !
This one slipped quietly under the radar. No promo vid from Epiphone or Gibson?🤷🏼 Too bad because it looks and sounds great!
Notifications worked this time. I'm way early seeing this video!
The sound reminds me of Eric Clapton tune love of my life I think ?.
Good value for money with the case thrown in as well. Tempted.
I’ve been asking for a walnut 335 from epiphone for like 10 years… about time!
Slap a Bigsby B7 on it too. That would be retro cool.
Looks good. Sounds good.
Hope y’all do the 339
Beautiful.
Sounds a little warmer than my Indonesian made 335 copy, but is more than three times the price, although it includes a case.
355 sounds so good I think Epiphone nailed it .
Such a beauty. Would love to have it at my fingers!
Amazing guitar! I managed to get one new for £660, such a good deal! The neck is fantastic on these and the colour looks even better in person.
Great review!
Absolutely killer 🖤😎✌️⚡⚡⚡
i was thinkin either bb king or thios one i like this one alot
They should have added a Volute to the back of the headstock.
I have the Sheraton in wine red ♥️ should check one out as they have a vintage vibe to them
Yup, the Sheraton is indeed an awesome guitar.
we have a full sheraton demo coming soon! stay tuned 🤘 Zach
Very nice giveaway
I've tried and tried to like semi hollowbody guitars and have owned several. I think too many 50 caliber rounds has completely destroyed my hearing.
Between this one and the Noel Gallagher Riviera (which is basically also a 335) which one will you pick?
Personally I really liked the Jim James 335, but they're similar enough I'd say shop on which aesthetic you prefer. In both cases they have Alnico Classic Pro pickups that I really like. Thanks for watching, and both in stock:

What hydrate solution do you use for the fretboard?
I think he said D'Addario Hydrate?
Yes, that's the one! Thanks for watching.
The Indian Laurel fretboard sounds different than rosewood or ebony how so?
I Googled it for you:
Rosewood fretboards are more porous so feel rougher compared to Indian laurel fretboards. Visually, rosewood is darker and has more streaks compared to Indian laurel which has a more even appearance. Rosewood is naturally more oily so less prone to warping and requires less maintenance. Indian Laurel is a perfectly good fretboard material tonally and can easily out-perform more popular woods, despite being a cheaper option.
@@joeygentile7829 Thanks i didn't know the benefits of using Indian Laurel fretboards because I don't see many guitars that use Indian Laurel fretboards and what the benefits are using it
The "benefit" was that it was similar to rosewood during the period CITES banned the trade in rosewood. But it was lifted a few years ago. They mostly stick to it now partly for cost cutting reasons, and partly artificial feature segmentation - guitar players are mostly traditionalists so whatever was used 30 years ago is seen as "premium", even if it's not actually any better by current standards.
@@PaulCooksStuff Yes I know it cost cheaper than Rosewood but also doesn't need to be oiled and moisturized because Indian laurel is a better type of wood that keeps the neck more stable from temperatures cold an hot?
Haven’t you been promoting that same guitar giveaway for like years now?
👍🏻
Correction : In Film & TV in Hollywood 'Behind the Camera' (BTC) is the Cinematographer. Your in front of the Camera.Your the Talent.
Appreciate that, in my shtick up front I say "I'm John and that's Zach behind the camera." Does being the talent make me automatically talented? Lol thanks for watching
Darker finish then I like for Brown! but nice! Epiphone way back was far superior to Gibson until the hostile Takeover ! They are coming back with just awesome guitars for the $$
You characters still are to 50k ? C’mon man…gotta be a way to get you there tomorrow 100k next quarter.
I believe there's a spam bot offering that I've won a giveaway in the comments section...please let me know if it's spam or not....thanks.
If you see that, it is spam. We will never notify the winner through comments, only through the official Gleam entry platform. That is a common UA-cam scam unfortunately, and we delete and block them as soon as we see them. Thanks!
@@PlayandTradeGuitars thank you
Pick me please 🙏
I've owned Epiphones. They were pretty good guitars, but all they really did for me is make me want the real Gibson. So, now I just buy the Gibson.
