It’s been over 1 year since Matt and Rabea have done a “Sound Like” video. If anyone else misses that series like I do, could you upvote this so maybe they’ll start doing them again? It was a great series.
I think they said in previous comments it was only covid/lockdown that made it difficult to get the team together. They'll be back, they haven't gone for good.
One of the best things about these videos is seeing The Captain’s improvement as a player. Arguably he was the more melodic in the jam at the end. I very much enjoy listening along.
Tis’ the dream… Seeing the 335 in ‘Back to the Future’ as a little kid is what made me want to pick up the guitar in the first place. As I’ve gotten older I recognize them for their sound and beauty too, but there will always be a part of me that loves the 335 because of that first emotional connection with a guitar.
YES - every guitarist need an ES-335 - or an ES-335 style guitar. Only my opinion, because I always wanted one as much as I want a Les Paul. NOW I get my Gibson ES-335 Dot Reissue in Sunburst and the pair is complete now - it´s not Murphy-aged but "natural-aged", because its from 1986 and often played! Great sound with Tim Shaw-PUs! Love it! Bluesy greetings from Germany!
What fantastic timing. I literally have an ES-335 on a UPS truck, about ten minutes away from me. I should wait to watch this, so i can play along.....
@@jimshomestudio Thank you, sir. I hope i'm not too afraid to play (ding) it. It'll be my most expensive guitar, easily, and it's not even something i ever thought i'd want. After 'having' guitars for 40 years, it took a recent *Dave Simpson* video to send me 'shopping.'
@@KevinJDildonik False. US labour has nothing to do with it. Heritage guitars cost less than half the price. You're paying for Brand recognition and corporate bailouts. The average builder at Gibson gets paid less than fender and PRS builders
@@robotsongs not false. The quality you get from heritage is the same as custom shop and Murphy range. Whilst the current standard range from Gibson still come with many QC problems.
The ES-335 is an awesome guitar that is more versatile then people think. I just wish they weren’t so damn expensive! That’s why I own an Ibanez ASV-73, similar tone and feel at a fraction of the price. 🤘
They are expensive, but they are well worth the price. I currently own 25 guitars, and would put my 335 up against any or all of them. They are so versatile, and a joy to play. Many from a certain generation feel that the only 2 rock guitars in the world are a Fender Strat or a Gibson Les Paul (both also expensive), and don't consider a semi-hollow body as even being a contender. The 335 will prove them wrong all day long.
My wife got me a custom shop ES-355 for my 30th birthday. It’s a beautiful work of art, but nowhere near as pretty as she is. I landed such an awesome woman 😍.
Maybe Gibson should make their normal overly expensive 335's good enough (this goes for the other models too) to justify the price in the first place, instead of having to invent 'Murphy lab' editions to create the quality expected from the get go, and charge even more.
I bought myself one of those German 335 imitations that we don't talk about here on this channel and WOW! What a fantastic guitar for very little money.
I have to agree. The quality to price ratio for Gibson USA guitars is way off considering how inconsistent their QC is. Yes, you can get a great Gibson, but you're going to have to play a few to get a good one; I would never buy one sight unseen. For around the same money, you can get a PRS Core model which are consistently great. Gibson needs to take note of what they're doing in Maryland and up their QC game to justify their prices.
I only played solid body guitars like Fender Strat and Gibson SG and I considered the semi-acoustic good only for historical blues or jazz, but one day I found myself in front of a wonderful 'beauty blue' ES-345 and a friend told me: "this is one of those really nice"... I bought it and since then it makes a difference to the sound and use in my small collection... I don't think it matters what brand you choose but if, you are a guitarist, a semi-acoustic type ES-335 before or then you have to have it.
I know The Captain is a Strat fan but man!, that 335 was made for you. I've seen hundreds of your demo videos and, by far, this one captured your best inspiration and tone (ever!). Someday I will own a 335
I tried a 1973 Fender Stat many years ago in Andy’s Guitar Shop in Denmark Street, it looked like it had been used as a Cricket Bat but man what a guitar and sound it had.
My first real guitar was an Ibanez AS83 (335 style) and I love it. I had to get used to the size and shape but now I’m so happy I have such a versatile axe
Found a picture from 1996 with me and my loved 335. Sold it and have wanted another one ever since. Now I’m 61 and have the money to buy a custom shop. That last tune made me descide it. If it will be here in Denmark or from you I don’t know - but it will be cherry again 🥰🥰🥰🥰🔥❤💋 Love youy guys 🌞🤗💋
@@thesmellycatjazz I had the original cheapest "Dot"-model (that I think they rebranded as proper ES-335. It was a good guitar in almost every single aspect - the sound was nice and thick without being muddy and the neck was comfortable and well finished without any sharp fret ends. The only reason why I had to sell it was because it was so big and heavy that it became really uncomfortable to play and I noticed that I always went for my Yamaha Pacifica instead.
The captain .... again best tone ever and such a melodic taste on the end Jam. I started to watch your videos just 2 months ago .. and now I’m watching every time a new one pop up. It’s so much fun and you can feel the good affinity between you two. Plus I do really think the captain is a big heart person, sensitive and humble. Ps: my first order from Andertons arrived this week ... a black box overdrive 2 ... and I’m already addicted. Such an amazing sound
To see just how minute a difference your hand can detect, write with a Bic pen with the lid on the end; then take the lid off of the end of the pen and write the same thing again. Massive difference in feel, balance, weight and action isn’t there?
5:13 Not heard of "skip out the light" but there's a song called Shoot Out the Lights by Richard Thompson (though the guitar on it is probably a Strat, as RT doesn't do humbuckers).
I couldn't agree more with the premise of this video. Mine looks like the Blonde one, but mine is an 82. I wouldn't trade that guitar for anything. It will do whatever I want it too and if I had to, I'd sell all my others and keep that one.
that bitch, should have taken it to a friends for safe keeping till the divorce was done. thats what I'd do in that sitch, no way in hell she's getting any of my gear, or money from it.
I bought my 335 new in 1991. Looks and sounds wonderful and, it hasn't aged in any way the same as these 'manufactured ageing' examples. ie- hardware or wood. Buy a normal one and age it yourself. Far more satisfying. Just bought another new 335 and I doubt I will live long enough to see this one age.
thats crazy, I have a few gibsons and I find that they age rather quickly. A couple years of daily use and they have noticeable wear, but it gives them character, plus the playability and feel get better as they age. I can't stand playing polly guitars now, they feel cheap and plastic like.
@@davepark1827 Mine has aged, very much so, BUT , I looked after it so, so no cracking or worn down to the wood. In fact the neck feels like a new VOS now. Everybody who plays it loves it. I have a 1980 ES175 and that is just starting to show cracking.
I have an Epi Dot I got for 200 with a set of Iron Gear Alchemist p90s and it sounds pretty good for 270 all in...not a million miles off this video although I'm sure these are prettier and play nicer
Yes agreed , BUT I have a couple of fenders and a custom shop Les Paul ,and recently brought an Epiphone inspired by Gibson es 335 and wow I’m blown away , I think because I never realised how good 335 semi style guitar is , So now I’m wondering what the Real thing would be like , so now I’m wanting to own The Gibson 335 , you only live once 😀
In 1973 I bought a new 335 TD from my local dealer for $530 US. Lost interest in playing so I sold it for a ridiculously low price in 1991. Looking forward to getting another one soon, just haven’t decided which variation or manufacturer. My only complaint is they could be a little large for many people to use for extended daily practice. But, buying one of these is money in the bank, play it for years and if you have a change of heart and want to sell you won’t loose your money.
I’ll be honest. I been looking at 335s lately. Now I cannot afford a Murphy Lab but I’m willing to take one off of your hands as a long time follower here in the states lol
That argument at about 6:50 is just incorrect; yes, any guitar makes noise when you strum it, but pickups aren't just "amplifying that noise". That might be how acoustic pickups work, but the PUs on an electric don't care what acoustic sounds are coming from the guitar, it's 100% just the vibration of metal strings over the magnetic pickups. People argue things like this all the time, but there is an overwhelming amount of evidence that shows pretty conclusively that body materials and composition have very little effect on the sound of an electric guitar. They might affect sustain, but as far as the sound, that comes down to electronics.
the 335 and tele are the most versatile guitar ever made before 60's. Great guitars. But try a Suhr Alt T, semihollow double H telecaster with split tones too (I have one with Thornbuckers). It's a dream for versatility
@@liveconcerts7550 I’ve bought it used at 2000€. It’s not cheap, but it really worth the price. Try one of them if you can, but you can watch one of the many UA-cam videos on that guitar.
What would be great is if they’d stop sending every 335 to Murphy lab, and send a few standards out to stores. There’s barely a 335 to be had at the minute that’s under 4500! My funds are burning a hole in my pocket waiting for a vintage burst!
Like most everyone, I fell for the sound of a Les Paul, but found the style to be very uncomfortable to play. I bought an Epi ES-339 (CDN $550) to see if I'd like semi-hollow in general. It wsa comfortable, light, and it sounded as good (with generic Alnico humbuckers) as my brother's LP Studio. The 339 is smaller than the 355 & 335 (and fits into a standard gig bag!) & has the cable output on the bottom, not the front of the body. The only drawback to all semi-hollows, is it's a bit tougher to reach the upper frets. After owning the Epi 339 for a month or so, I bought a Gibson 339 for CDN $1900. The '57 pickups are still the best pickups I've heard (very close second are the Shawbuckers on my Tele, then the P90s on my Noventa Strat). Maybe someday I'll be able to tell the difference between the tone of a 335 over a 339, but it's not yet, so the 339 is the best for price, weight, comfort, sound & size. I'm in love with this Watermelon color but I'm not interested in aging. All due respect to Murphy Labs, my fangs are coming in regarding aging, but coughing up $7500 US for a unique color is pretty steep. Better include a Calton case. If Gibson released a Watermelon ES-339, the $3k US price isn't so bad.
I wish you showed how the 335 can rock it out! It was nice that you showed a kind of a bluesy jazz style which supremely sings out, also but these ES-335s can rock,,, With Les Paul's but bit more easier to catch a great "Sustainable feedback, "Sweet Sustains": Great Guitar's & nice video!!!
I’ve got an early ‘83 custom shop with Tim shaws and a flame top like no other I’ve ever seen and it cost me half of what these Murphy lab es-335’s are going for
I don’t love 3 string to a guitar side much in general. Much more of a Strat guy. Make this semi hollow Tele and I might agree with you. But I need a tummy cut on my T-style guitar too.
I love my 2008 ES-335 in black but the 2016 limited edition Gibson ES-335 premieré figured faded light burst, must be the best and most beautiful 335 ever made so far... And, ALL 335s' should have block or split block inlays. That is the only drawback with my 335 thar have dot inlays...

Holy smoke Lee! Your playing was just 👌👌👌 Man that’s CRAZY nice!!
Never thought I’d use the word “tasty” in reference to guitar playing but that’s precisely what this intro is.
I just can't get over the input jack being on the face of the guitar. Don't know why I hate it but I do and it saves me money in this case.
Does a pick guard effect tone?
Asking for a friend 👀
That argument at about 6:50 is just incorrect; yes, any guitar makes noise when you strum it, but pickups aren't just "amplifying that noise". That might be how acoustic pickups work, but the PUs on an electric don't care what acoustic sounds are coming from the guitar, it's 100% just the vibration of metal strings over the magnetic pickups. People argue things like this all the time, but there is an overwhelming amount of evidence that shows pretty conclusively that body materials and composition have very little effect on the sound of an electric guitar. They might affect sustain, but as far as the sound, that comes down to electronics.
I sold my 335 when i got a PRS Hollowbody. I feel i made the right choice
I agree i need one, however the buying one is my hang up
I gotta have that 59' ES-335 natural finish. It's expensive, but I going to make it a reality.
Pro-tip: Never use a straight plug into a 335 like Pete's doing there.
Front mount plug is the worst disaster waiting to happen ever, I agree.
Or an SG, or a Firebird, etc.
@@somethingbl Totally. Basically all but a strat.
Dang, I didn’t even think about that 😟 💧
Or SGs. I only use straight plugs for going from my amp to my pedals. SGs are all I play right now, so the right angle plugs are perfect.

The '57 pickups are still the best pickups I've heard (very close second are the Shawbuckers on my Tele, then the P90s on my Noventa Strat). Maybe someday I'll be able to tell the difference between the tone of a 335 over a 339, but it's not yet, so the 339 is the best for price, weight, comfort, sound & size.
I'm in love with this Watermelon color but I'm not interested in aging. All due respect to Murphy Labs, my fangs are coming in regarding aging, but coughing up $7500 US for a unique color is pretty steep. Better include a Calton case. If Gibson released a Watermelon ES-339, the $3k US price isn't so bad.
I wish you showed how the 335 can rock it out! It was nice that you showed a kind of a bluesy jazz style which supremely sings out, also but these ES-335s can rock,,, With Les Paul's but bit more easier to catch a great "Sustainable feedback, "Sweet Sustains": Great Guitar's & nice video!!!
Joe Bonamassa did call em The burst killer, got a killer one In black from The 60s fantastic guitar :)
Ok. The final jam was the bomb.
Captain coming on leaps and bounds. He works so well With Pete
nice jam lads!!
I love how relic jobs have evolved into a phase where you almost need a magnifying glass to see that the guitar is in fact actually reliced.
You get the opportunity to pay custom shop prices for that barely perceptible service. Gibson, the forefront of charging extra for "prestige".
My favourite guitar ever.
I’ve got an early ‘83 custom shop with Tim shaws and a flame top like no other I’ve ever seen and it cost me half of what these Murphy lab es-335’s are going for
I don’t love 3 string to a guitar side much in general.
Much more of a Strat guy.
Make this semi hollow Tele and I might agree with you.
But I need a tummy cut on my T-style guitar too.
I love my 2008 ES-335 in black but the 2016 limited edition Gibson ES-335 premieré figured faded light burst, must be the best and most beautiful 335 ever made so far...
And, ALL 335s' should have block or split block inlays. That is the only drawback with my 335 thar have dot inlays...
No shame in Dots. My Gibson ES-335 '90 Reissue has them.
@@Dogheadj no, no shame, but it does not look as good...
Hey lee ! You put the mayer gshock instead of your beloved explorer ?! First video without it since 10 years maybe ! Just a day before the New john mayer single .... strange....
