Another thing with a thinline is that the notes tend to bloom and get louder when it's hit softly. Amazing guitars which are so versatile and generally misunderstood
Jazzmasters! I only see people talk about them as either surf or alt-rock guitars, but I know they can do more than that. I know they were used a lot by country players and of course Chris Stapleton plays Jazzmasters and he's a soul/country artist.
I love my two Hollowbody guitars. I have a PRS Hollowbody II with Piezo and a PRS McCarty 594 HBii and BOTH are beautiful sounding guitars and extremely versatile. I love a HB for Rock/metal...
You can do anything with any guitar. The trick with a hollow body or semi-hollow is dialing it in to get the sound you want while being able to control the feedback. I think feedback control is the main reason people tend tk avoid the 335 and similar guitars for higher gain tones.
Love my Ibanez semi acoustic but I’d love a 335 Thanks Guys 👍 I confess I’m starting to find the paul comfort zone with ducked delay and modulation But overdrive stacking is fun too 👍👍
Hmmm - sure it can do Metal, but in my opinion there is no need to do it! Blues and Blues-Rock is the territory of my 1986 Gibson ES-335 Dot! But it was very interesting to watch and listen! Greetings from Germany!
I recently got a 335 just like the one you are using. I have no problem with the neck and bridge pickup tones. Coming from a Strat, the humbuckers translate OK with a little tone shaping. But I use the middle pickup on a Strat quite a bit, and there's nothing on the 335 that comes close to that. The two pickup combination is too nasally. Rolling off the neck pickup a little give a different tone, but it's hard to get it just right in a gigging situation. What do you do when you need a Strat middle pickup tone, and have a 335 in your hands?
Well. When you say better... better for whom? Everyone prefers something else and I don't think there's a "better" and "best" guitar for everyone. It's way too subjective. Duesenbergs have a vintage look with a thin modern neck and a pretty modern tone. That's great of course. Still, for example I like big necks and a more traditional tone. I'm not a big fan of poly finishes either, which is again, just a personal preference. I'm definitely not saying that I'm right, this should just prove that "better" and "worse" is not really a thing when we're talking about guitars. And with all of that out of the way, we will have Duesenbergs on the show, I promise. Those are very well made guitars and definitely deserve some love. Cheers! //Kris
Which one is more versatiles: Gibson Es-335, Gibson Les Paul Gold Top with P90 or a Telecaster? If you could only have one which would you choose? Why?
Hey guys, can you do an extensive demo of the Harley Benton FXL8 Pro, including how to set the triggers for normally open and normally closed (for say an astronomer's ext. switch)?

I m guessing that anyone who has a Gibson 335 also has the budget to make it sound any way they like, thing is, what happens when you're on a budget, from the guitar, all the way to the pedals and amp. Maybe a modelling amp? Anyway, nice one once again fellas, really nice explaining the different pedals for different sounds and setups. As for a suggestion, i d like something "backwards", for example a metal guitar playing "mellower" stuff, like blues or jazz? That would be a treat 😆
Thanks Kostas! You can get very similar tones with less expensive 335 style guitars too. The weakest point of those is mostly the pickups and the rest of the electronics. Which can be upgraded of course. And about the metal guitar playing other styles: that is definitely on my list for this series. :) Cheers //Kris
Kris and Bill do it again. Love your tattoos Kris… copied mine! I’ll bet you got your inspiration from me 😏 But Bill! You looked like you were right at home there at the end.
I got a D‘Angelico Excel DC from you, with the Stairstep tailpiece. How can i avoid the sound of the little „Harp“ behind the bridge to sound after muting the strings?
Great timing!! I love my 335 clone, but am struggling to find tones in my head (I am very much a noob, even at 63). What were the guitar settings for you clean tones? Tone settings? Volume? Thanks! Hey, how about that tele twang?
Hey Bruce, I had all the knobs at 10 for the clean tones. Volume, tone, everything. All you need for that tone is a balanced sounding amp. If the guitar doesn't sound as percussive and open, not even with a nice amp, then the pickups of the guitar are not PAF style humbuckers. Cheers //Kris
like... Alexisonfire is all I have to say :) I'm surprised such videos are still a debate lol, just plug it into noise gate + EQ + compressor + booster + EVH 5105 and anything will sound like a chugging machine lol guitars don't matter that much unless your pickup is ok, the processing/amp/cab/mic always mattered much more
Hey, we didn't forget about 339s, we just wanted to concentrate on the traditional (and most beloved) version, the 335. Which doesn't mean, that other shapes, such as the 339 are not equally awesome. They really are! //Kris
Hi, well that's usually how guides are. We could've made this a 3 minutes video with barely any talking. That wouldn't have helped those who want to learn something new though. Cheers //Kris
You can do anything with an 335 style guitar. Guitar players minds are boxed as hell, putting rules where should be freedom and creativity
I play death metal on acoustic guitars, so you can imagine how awesome it would sound on ANY electric guitar!
You can do anything with any style of guitar, though you might look odd playing country on a Dimebag Darrell signature. 😂
Spot on. I used to be the same until I bought an eastman 335 style guitar. So versatile. Now my favourite in the collection

Another thing with a thinline is that the notes tend to bloom and get louder when it's hit softly. Amazing guitars which are so versatile and generally misunderstood
A big YES to that! //Kris
Jazzmasters! I only see people talk about them as either surf or alt-rock guitars, but I know they can do more than that. I know they were used a lot by country players and of course Chris Stapleton plays Jazzmasters and he's a soul/country artist.
Ohh, absolutely! Jazzmasters are so good and versatile. Thanks for the suggestion! //Kris

I got a semi hollow bass for my 40th. I love it.
I have a 335 with a Duncan JB in the bridge and it metals just as well as my Charvel w fishman’s - w/ the right amp any guitar can play any genre
I'd like to see just how versitile a "shred machine" with active pickups can be? like an explorer style with EMG 81/60s maybe?
That sounds like a plan! :) //Kris
I love going against the norm, my favourite cleans on a guitar is my neon orange jackson
Love my Gretsch streamliner
Please make a filter tron pick up video :)
Possibly the most versatile guitar among Gibsons .
I have a Washburn ES35. It is almost identical to the Gibson 335 with humbuckers a lot less expensive and just as good. I love it.
HB-35?
Get a Boss Blues Driver or JHS Morning Glory for the 335.
The Boss BD-2 is one of the most versitile and beste pedal ever👌
@@melich_5 and it is not expensive. The Morning Glory is great too for a 335.
Love my Ibanez semi acoustic but I’d love a 335
Thanks Guys 👍
I confess I’m starting to find the paul comfort zone with ducked delay and modulation
But overdrive stacking is fun too
👍👍
Thanks Paul! Delay and modulation is always a win! :) Cheers //Kris
With a fine guitar, high quality inline sound gear and a great amplifier, you should be able to get any tone or sound.
Hmmm - sure it can do Metal, but in my opinion there is no need to do it!
Blues and Blues-Rock is the territory of my 1986 Gibson ES-335 Dot!
But it was very interesting to watch and listen!

Besser man kann und braucht es nicht als umgekehrt!
Very good metal tone !
Thank you! I dig it too. //Kris

Gibson es-335 are super muddy in general! How to improve this mud on the neck pickup and on the other pickups?
Fantasic guitar ❤
SG definitely!!
Pity you guys never showoff Duesenbergs - their semi and or hollow bodies are just as good as the big G or even better
Definitley better than gibson, duesenberg is on another level

I mean, post White Stripe’s Jack White uses a lot of hollow/semi-hollow Gretch guitars (some modified into double cuts) for all kinds of styles.
Which one is more versatiles: Gibson Es-335, Gibson Les Paul Gold Top with P90 or a Telecaster?
If you could only have one which would you choose?
Why?
Awesome stuff as always, can you do one on simi hollow and hollowbody bass? Im trying to decide between adding a Hofner or getting a simi hollow bass.
Gretsch 5622T vs pro series!
i LOVED the intro jam what was it inspired by

Very informative now i have to buy more firefly guitars.

I don't have that kind of budget, but get along with an HB 35plus (bridge modded). In fact, I like it so much that I see no need for a Gibson.
Look at the Larry Carlton H7 335!
I heard KSE!
I wanna get sweet clean sounds from my es 339. But since I sold Mt fender amp the vox ac15c1x is a bit hard to get there.
Kris and Bill do it again. Love your tattoos Kris… copied mine! I’ll bet you got your inspiration from me 😏 But Bill! You looked like you were right at home there at the end.
Thinline Tele can do anything! 😊👍
Guil as Cap'n Crunch living the chug life on a 335... Priceless!!!!🤘😊🤘

Great guitar sorry I trade mind
It's like y'all never seen Ted Nugent playing a Byrdland.
That chugging! Oh my gosh 🔥🔥🔥
Overdrives are cool but have you heard about fuzz? 🙃
Ohh we heard of fuzz before. :) But that's a video of it's own I'm afraid, haha! So much ground to cover. //Kris
Thank you for turning my g.a.s. Level to 11.
Except it's not a hollowbody.
i would love to have a semi hollow "warmth" to screaming guitar like these:ua-cam.com/video/6EZku7_2rhU/v-deo.html
suggestions?
Did someone say FIREBIRD!!!!!!!!!
Haaaaaaa! 💪 Yes, indeed! One of the coolest guitars out there! :) Let's do it! //Kris
ALL you need is a Tele & ES-335.
You can play clean all day, I'll be happy.
OD or gain, just play a ukelele.
