Was there last week and played it! A really special instrument,for sure. In the high end room, the Morgan amp happened to be the one turned on at that time, sounded pretty killer through that.

[@guitarhoarder1972]

for some reason, I don't want one of those guitars. I want 2! lol. nice playing, and boy, is that a sweet ole guitar! ty for sharing!

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Haha! Same here!! Thanks so much it really is nice. Thinking about working up a trade for it!

[@guitarhoarder1972]

@justinmeyersguitarist That is great ! I hope it works out for you ! that is a burst melter for a fraction of the coin!

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Thank you very much buddy

[@Tonetwisters]

Beautiful guitar ... and a price I can afford! Finally! And Kim Sherman is a sweetheart.

[@crankshaft383]

Sweet, I have the same one. Same one as the guy from Blink... 👍🥴 Yer gunna love it. 🤤

[@goswo]

Alway difficult with KZbin sound, but this 335 sounds really really great. I smiled from the first note. You just know when or if its the real deal. Dont know about prices, but you look like guy who should sell a few amps :-)

[@revelry1969]

Get it!!!! Ours will be twins. Hope it has that slim fast neck

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

Haha! That’s awesome! Yeah it’s got the slim neck. Man I’m thinking of maybe working up some kind of trade.. can’t afford to pay cash on it haha. Maybe trade 69 Les Paul toward it

[@revelry1969]

@@justinmeyersguitarist yeah, It’s a steep hill to climb. But you will never look back. I will die with mine….

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

It’s tempting for sure

[@revelry1969]

@@justinmeyersguitarist congrats on your purchase man! Awesome

[@justinmeyersguitarist]

@@revelry1969 thanks again Brent!!

[@bjorntannberg1581]

It sure fits in your hands man.

[@jimmyfrombrooklyn8550]

Beautiful! That’s a keeper and a mortgage but probably worth every penny

[@beachlifebestlife]

my dad bought 1958 blonde es 335 unbound finger board for $267...(only 50 made) 335 designated the retail price

[@dannywoody5497]

When the collectors get in the game, this is what you got now it’s just investment. It’s not an instrument any longer.

[@sethgauby8730]

Oh so true No way these are truly worth that kind of money

[@saywhat445]

Unless you use it with a $30 nobels. Jkjk 😊. Thanks for sharing! I’ve never seen/played anything close!

[@KOACAINE]

I find it hard to believe that you can’t buy a guitar that plays and sounds as good for under $3000.00. How does one justify spending that much on a guitar while the streets are filled with homeless and hungry people?!

[@JamesJessenfedden]

The same way you justify spending money on random bs you don’t need when you could give it to someone less fortunate for their basic needs.

[@Jbird1978]

If you don’t know the answer, you don’t understand basic economics.

[@KOACAINE]

@@Jbird1978 I understand economics. What I don’t get is how and why anyone would put their ego before common sense, especially when so much more could be done with that amount of money. There are people who need it more than some greedy ripoff “vintage dealer”.

[@JamesJessenfedden]

@@KOACAINE Please respond to my post

[@JamesJessenfedden]

@@KOACAINE Dude, once again. People value different things. A working class musician making the decision to purchase a guitar that to most people seems extremely expensive isn’t the target of a lecture on philanthropy.
