1964 Gibson ES-335TDC | Guitar of the Day

[@superdriver777]

Song 1: Sunshine of Your Love -- Cream (what a riff....one of the best!) Song 2: Born Under a Bad Sign -- Albert King Song 3: White Room -- Cream

[@thedrugstorecowboy2948]

Should have done it on an SG

[@roccojc8071]

superdriver777 (my opinion) song 1: crossroads solo

[@andrewcruz7595]

*JOHNY B GOODE*

[@sebastianrutkowski4590]

​@@thedrugstorecowboy2948 Right 👍

[@5150cl]

Love the consistency of these Guitar of the Day videos. Mark really knows his stuff and the occasional Jen laugh is just a bonus!

[@michaelruiz4708]

You guys should do thinline Thursdays

[@nickfanzo]

agreed!

[@patrickluszcz7801]

Fucked up Friday would be good too 👍

[@blonk333]

And B.C. Rich Warlock Wednesdays! Right?

[@EzyDzy85]

Sweet!!

[@martywilkinson6722]

Love it. Connected on Instagram finally. Am I the only one you make nervous when you are showing the guitars in the back room? I'm sure it's not as close as it looks, but I always think you are going to hit the headstock on the shelves!

[@gearmaestro]

Ha! Exactly what was going through my head too.

[@gusdupree9076]

Marty Wilkinson and yet nothing has ever happened, no worries he be a pro fool

[@mayito714]

Damn I need to win the lottery...

[@DC-hd5bo]

Same here

[@dylangreen9819]

same

[@Spamfriedrice323]

I'm going for the much hyped 59 LP if I win the lottery lol

[@mayito714]

+Nick Navata Right on, I want one of those too. I want them instead of wall paper in one of my mansion rooms if I hit the lottery.

[@thefenderfanatic974]

Toxophilus indomitus they are only 11,000 dollars.. not that bad but hey

[@joecoombsguitarist]

Oh my god that sounds amazing

[@diceman220]

I'm only going to be 71, your playing is awesome. Great guitars, great store. I still have my 67 Fender Twin Reverb Blackface, and my 1966 guild guitar. 1960 Princeton and more. If your looking for TONE Norman's Rare Guitar will have it. AWESOME.

[@Punkdebutique]

I'd take a '63-'64 cherry ES-335 over a 'burst anytime

[@DelBoy596]

Bought one of these new back in '64 for £168. ES335TDC, same spec, same colour. Wish I still had it! TDC meant Thin Double Cutaway. Wonderful guitar. Can't afford another one!

[@ronlight7013]

So, now walnut is a hipster color? Why am I always the last one to know!

[@eternalme1016]

Right ON AGNESI..... always wanted to play this song differently ( correctly ). Thanks for showing us these GREAT GUITARS, and for me a new chord progression. Love your Vid's, keep-em Coming 🎸♡

[@1040ecapja]

Oh my... That's GREAT tone!!! Guitar-cable-amp: doesn't get any better than this.

[@ajsmusic2561]

Hey, the 65s with Bigsbys were actually 64s w the upfitting. Also Canadian cases were the 1st with the gray and blue. My friend sold Clapton his 64 ES 335 at "Selmers Music" in the UK. Very exciting story he told me....

[@chrisbasile]

Thanks for sharing. A humble opinion: All of the guitar demos would be far more useful if you demonstrated the instrument with no distortion or reverb (at least for part of the demo). And why not use an amp of a quality suited to the fine electric guitar used? And of course you need a proper mic in a fixed position in front of the amp - run it into a good recorder and sync it in post.

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

chrisbasile Thank you. I complain about this often. Nobody at Norm's seems to care.

[@TheCream14]

My favorite guitar and my favorite band - CREAM!!

[@VincentFlare]

cant decide what band to listen to for the day? go watch a guitar of the day video for inspiration lol

[@irecordmyselfpractice7346]

Vincent Arreola Mumford and sons Winston Marshall rocks the guitar

[@Kdog-hw6ri]

I appreciate Marks Passion.

[@구스타프-g4q]

My only one "Dream Guitar" 😊

[@larryburrough3024]

Love all the best songs in several decades

[@nickb.237]

This ES and the LP Jr. are probably the best sounding guitars I've ever hear you demo....I really like that upstroke on Born Under A Bad Sign by the way....nice touch....and yes, I am stealing that now.

[@michaelgonzalez7304]

I need a '64 stoptail cherry red ES 335 and a '64 cherry red SG Standard to get the Clapton Crossroads Cream tone.

[@normpetroff5549]

I own this guitar. It's heavenly. I do have a bigsby and it's lovely. I do have the original stop tail bridge. I have the original case and bill of sale. 437 bucks 1964.

[@zanedgallipeau9119]

just got my dads 1963 ES335 fixed up sounds awesome

[@Npascher]

i was in the store when he played it

[@ns9743]

Cool

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Do they demo everything in overdrive?.. or do you get to hear clean now and then??

[@heelfan50]

Natalia Pascher I envy you

[@lousydevotee9169]

Congrats.. want a cookie?

[@GuitarlosCarlos]

GREAT GUITAR - I REMEMBER KENT HENRY HAD A CHERRY 59 335 DOT NECK WITH TRUCKLOADS OF TONE - I BOUGHT A REAL 61 PAF FOR MY 335 AND PUT IT IN THE NECK POSITION

[@jonnybeck6723]

WHAT'S IN THE BRIDGE, MR. CARLOS AND WHEN CAN FFOLKS CATCH YOUR ACT ...AND WHERE, I MIGHT ADD ('THOUGH I WUZ TOLD IF I MUTIPLIED, I'D BE KILLED)

This guy was the best..they should a got this guy into movies

[@yinyangja]

Love that classic rock sound, Mark. Great job

[@multilinkacs]

I have been the lucky owner of a 1962 335TDC since 1966. Out of all my guitars this is my favourite. Its also the loudest guitar I have ever played. The neck action is to quote a bass player friend of mine "like playing elastic bands". If you want a great guitar then go find yourself an old 335.

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

multilinkacs If I did not have my 1966 Guild Starfire 5, ( since 1967) it would HAVE to be one of these. They are magnificent. Too bad we don't hear this clean too... they are hauntingly involving in clean.

[@johnhedigan9692]

Goddamn that sounds good. Spot on today Mark.

[@paluceash]

CREAM... I love CREAM , WHITE ROOM...

[@aidanmccracken1]

Best GOTD so far. Dream guitar and great playing by Mark

[@leonardomazzitelli1546]

If you ever need a new INDESTRUCTIBLE case for a 335, check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKHLaJWArauGbbM

[@davidallen346]

They way Clapton gets sustains out of the Gibson guitars are amazing no wonder people wanted him to go back and play Gibson for years

[@thetallman25]

Wow Mark! Favorite guitar so far. Great playing too!

[@patrickwcowley]

thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. so impressive & inspiring!!:)

[@chrismonk8446]

Fantastic guitar! Fantastic video. Mark did a great job. I've longed for one of these since the mid 90's when Clapton started playing blues again on his 64. I finally got one.. Not an oringal but... Gibson Memphis did an amazing job in recreating a 63 in my 2013 "sixties cherry" RI. Great guitar..wouldn't part with it for 10 les Paul's

[@matthewpaluch777]

Once again, gr8 job Mark! They say the cream always rises to the top!

[@calbassas87]

God this is just a masterpiece of an instrument. She’s unreal. ‘64 335 best tone of any guitar ever made. Hands down.

[@obriantomlinson2776]

@Aqeel Asif what about the 345?

[@autizmo2963]

I really want a similar guitar. Not specifically but I love how that looks and I would bring that to jazz band instead of my ibanez haha. Those guitars are so beautiful.

[@matttucker3]

I'm about to cry, that's like my favorite guitar ever built

[@shirtsguitar]

Love everything about an ES 😁🎸

[@docdurdin]

Beautiful machine.... Listen to the dirt that gives it a classic sound.

[@patrickbateman7769]

Sunshine of your love, love that song mate! Thanks for playing some Clapton :D

[@joshua5483]

Gettin some Back to the Future vibes right now.

[@bluesdog88]

Thanks for the sunshine Mark!!

[@nukethemoon6097]

My favorite KZbin series

[@zachb5803]

Nice skills 👍love this guitar I own a strat but the Gibson es335 is actually my dream guitar. What amp did you play out of? Was it a solid state? I bet that thing would really open up with a Marshall all tube

[@WhatAFluke]

He said a hot rod deville. So a tube amp, just not the Marshall crunch

[@AbramsAirsoft]

Would love to see some more non-reverse firebirds. Really enjoy this series.

[@BeardMan01]

Oh man, '64's are my favorite. I have a '64 reissue vos. That's as close as I can get, which is still pretty great!

[@michaelandrews8944]

Awesome dude 🎉

[@vbranko79]

oh my god what a tone

[@MilitaryAIWorks100]

Damm that sounds good. Thanks for the guitar education. Each video is like a personal history lesson! Please keep it up!

[@smacman68]

I find myself watching these for your playing rather than the guitars themselves. You can always spot a guy who you just know eats, sleeps and breaths this stuff.

[@lipanmesh]

Awesome Cream licks!👍🎸

[@andrewt248]

This may very well be the best sounding humbucker guitar you've done on the channel, IMHO.

[@greenl2472]

Sounds great, nice job Mark

[@carsonconnolly3961]

Love the longer guitar of the day vids

[@wbjamison5517]

Great demo. Lots of fun! Too bad you don't have 100 of those. Norman's would sell them all!

[@shaft9000]

"Let's pretend we're getting the Eric Crap-a-ton Cream-tone at a sensible volume volume hurrr-de-durrr" Just play the damn guitar clean for fuck's sake. These aging fantasies are nothing more than that.

[@juka421]

And that’s the problem

[@stevehornshaw4478]

Hi Mark, Great videos. I love the explanations on the descriptions of the guitars. Been checking I cannot find anything on the difference /comparison between 335 & Lucille - any chance of your lucid explanations?

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

STEVEN HORNSHAW I played Lucille II in 1969 briefly in a concert break. Master volume !! Tiny low frets, about .035 tall, light strings, .008 to 034. Very low action. Not at all your stock ES. His Lucille was set up virtually identical to my custom Guild Starfire V, Bigsby delete. My master vol is in a different place, but our frets, neck profile, strings, and action settings were virtually identical. Stock ES has no master volume, taller frets, heavier strings, higher action.

[@dorling91]

That is the Sunshine tone right there 🙌

[@fenwick_don]

I was BORN IN 64 AND i ENJOY your videos, love old guitars but usually buy them @ $200 or less and fix em up...

[@jothanankrogh]

A 1978 ES345 just came to me with a case with the blue lining like that.

[@scottfleming6166]

in my opinion, the best guitar ever made

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

1039sflem Same era, Guild Starfire 5 and 6 is 'better'... I know.. had them both. BUT, I do say with you ES of this era are damn great👍. If I did not have my '66 Starfire, it WOULD be one of these same era ES. Yo be fair, I got to play BB King's Gibson ES during a break in a 1969 concert. His ES was every bit the equal of my Guild. Wonderful and magnificent guitars..

[@randywhitaker5360]

What a great sound

[@edwardlouisbernays2469]

I had one of them in 1966 Grandmother bought for me $335.00 + $100.00 for Plush Orange case. OMG I wish I still had it, however I do have the Epiphone ES339 P90 Pro Semi Hollow in Cherry. I am a Little Old Man. My Gibson ES 335 Lucille from Nashville Gibsons is actually Too Big now. (Did I shrink? No I don't play Standing Up at Seventy Years.)

[@carlosaguilar6518]

Just... LOVELY

[@ayyy5081]

that was awesome man

[@JohnnyWithAGun]

6:40 When I switch from the strat to the es -335 and forget there is no wiggle stick

[@GGGG-si3jr]

When you switch gender and forget you don't have the wiggle stick

[@atomicpete]

That thing sounds sick!

[@GlennJimenez]

WOW! That really does sound hollow! Newer examples seem more stiff and less airy.

[@roccojc8071]

That’s the holy grail

[@shakeyperspective3981]

Mark, seeing that Gibson stopped making the 345 in 1981, what 'year(s)' did Gibson re-introduce the 345 reissues?

[@i.shadrin]

amazing guitar. i realize that stuff about the bridge and prices - it's kinda stupid to have bigsby on es335 because it's not so much sustain actually

[@utahprepper8925]

I'd like to see a discussion on the different wiring schemes that were offered on the 335. I know there are at least two.

[@Setright230]

Wow love it.

[@ryanspencerlauderdale687]

That is an identical Sunshine tone. Mark’s got some chops.

[@MrEddie-gf3yg]

one word - AWESOME. Nice playing as always Mark.
