Gibson E-335 Wanted

So I’ve been saving for a long time to eventually purchase a new guitar. My main guitar right now is a stock American Tele. I do have a few ’80′s hair metal mayhems around but I only play them when I where my tights.

Originally, I planned on purchasing some type of Les Paul to really contrast my tele and fill out my sound, but after more research I’ve decided I want the semi-hollow E-335. From Chuck Berry and the 3 Kings of Blues to Eric Clapton and John Mayer, this guitar brings the tone, the feedback, and the bite.  I personally am a sucker for the tobacco burst. Now this is obviously a blues/Jazz guitar…no Enter Sandman on this fine instrument.

So, here are the stats:

• Maple Back & Sides
• Single-ply top, back and fingerboard binding
• Free Gibson hardshell case
• Two volume controls, two tone controls
• Three-way pickup switch
• Rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets
• Nickel or Gold Machineheads
• Mahogany Neck
• Two ‘57 Classic humbucker pickups
• Dot Inlays

If you happen to have on sitting in your room in mint condition give me a call! At the same time, in this economy, I don’t feel right about shelling out 3 G’s. Then I’ll need a new Top Hat amp, pedals, and new outfit!
