This has quickly become one of my favorite guitar “pron” channels. Honest opinions throughout. If you don’t like something you just flat out say so. Also no attempts to BS the audience if you aren’t sure of something. You just say “I don’t really know” and move on. Authenticity at its finest. Quite a breath of fresh air. Keep it up!

Love that, glad you're making the long videos still. I had a postive experience with Guitar Guitar this week. My Grestch sem-hollow that I bought used from them in January developed a switch fault and had a dodgy master volume pot. Within a day of me dropping it into the Edinburgh shop they had replaced both (feels like with superior parts, CTS pot etc). Still under warranty so all free too.

I loved the 335 jamming on the intro and thought you were particularly inspired. Is it the guitar?

[@jeffberg8015]

Wow, a full hour of content. You're making my Fridays even better than before. I'm sure you're correct that the problem with that pot was a wiring issue, probably corrected when you moved the pickup wires, so if it starts acting up again you should be able to fix it just by remelting the connections. That's a beautiful guitar. I like my pre inspired by Gibson 335 very much, but I'm still kind of envious of that one. Nothing wrong with the SG and amp either. The brand also matters to me. It just makes a difference to me that my 335 comes from the Gibson company even if it doesn't say it on the headstock. Lastly, I believe Wilkinson makes all of Epiphone's vintage style tuners, so the only difference should be the name stamped on them. Thanks as always for the video.

[@jefftucker201]

My guess is when you removed the pup you pulled the wires away from where they were crossed fixing the issue. Great vid Colin, that is a fantastic looking guitar! all the best mate.

[@dalenixon9715]

I am fortunate and/or stupid enough to own a number of Epiphones and Gibsons. I love a 335 style guitar and the Epis are just as much fun as the Gibsons, if not more enjoyable as they cost less. I recently picked up a new Epi Noel Gallagher Riviera and it's just fantastic. The artist endorsement helps remind me that I am playing an actual real worthy guitar and not a lesser budget brand, so much more bang for the buck than a Gibson. Love the videos, keep 'em coming.

Man, that particular Epi 335 sounds great. Good score on that one. Enjoyed the show, Cheers!

[@davidharding200]

Like you I wasn’t a fan of the ES 335 (or so I thought) but the look of the raspberry tea figured Epi es335 (2022 model) looked just too good. I had it for some time and commented everywhere that while it was superbly made I couldn’t find the sound I liked. Then after a while I played with the setup. Adjusted the pick up height etc. And found the sweet spot. It’s phenomenal. One of my favs of around 25 guitars. And it really feels a quality guitar.

[@theguitaristas]

I love the look of the Raspberry burst... they are available but for more money and I was being sensible for once.

But I reluctantly sold it because it was like owning a sports car that you could never drive out of 1st or 2nd gear. I’m one of those people who wasn’t fond of the drive channel, but you’ve got some magic fairy dust Colin because that SG sounded so sweet through that thing! Cheers my friend!

I bought this model over a year ago. I like this guitar very much. The shop I went to had a Sire H7 in stock and that's what I went to check out. The Sire was nice but I left with the Epiphone. I would like to see you review a Sire. I enjoy your reviews very much and over the last year I have bought 2 SG's because in one video you recommended if you haven't tried a SG, you should. I tried one and afterwards I told myself why didn't I try one years ago.

Great job, love the longer content format! I watch every minute, of every one of your videos, usually twice! I'll also extend my viewing of your videos by watching them in pieces, over a period of two or three days, so more content is great for me. Do you typically use a lot of "Drive" from your Rat and Soul Food pedals? My main amp is a Marshall 800, so I use all my OD pedals as clean boosts only, with the "Drive" on 0, and "Level" to taste. So, there's no additional "Drive" from the pedal, just boosting the already overdriven signal from the amp. This is the best way to use OD pedals with a Marshall, imo, or any already overdriven amp really,.... which a Marshall 800 circuit certainly is. Looking forward to next week Colin!

[@theguitaristas]

Cheers man thanks for the support it’s really appreciated! 😁🙏 I guess normally use a fair bit of drive on the pedals as I’m not a typically high gain player.

To see someone like you struggle with learning songs and licks, it gives me hope. If all I watch is clean playing after a while I’m like well fuck, I just don’t have what it takes. To know that you have to practice and struggle too is incredibly inspiring to me. And now I want a 335…lol I am over the GAS phase of guitar playing, but your videos make me want these things!

I was playing this exact 335 as i was watching this, and i will never get rid of it, i love it so much. Like i said, it's Alex Lifeson in a bottle. I like the subplot diversion section with the SG.

It didn’t help that it played really amazing. I didn’t buy it right away, but it burned a hole in my brain for weeks, finally I had to get it. So glad I did, I just love it.

I REALLY ENJOY your presentation on everything you do. I find watching your videos are a great barometer to tell me how chilled out I am. You’re certainly not Steve Vai making me feel inadequate as a player are you! Lofl as friends do. You make me feel like a friend in his or my basement showing me a new guitar. By the end of your videos by watching your hands and listening I will hear everything the tone/volume pots do clean and dirty, if there’s an issue with the nut, bridge, tuners etc you’ll tell me. If you don’t go into detail about a particular piece I feel that I can safely assume that part is in proper working order and feels good. I prefer your opinion more than most actually. I happen to own a 33 piece Epi collection with some great Squires and other brands too but nothing bought because of the status presumption that comes with it and I have many friends that won’t pick up an Epiphone or a Squire because it’s an Epi or a Squire and it could possibly be the coolest guitar they’ve ever played, heck they don’t know. The next thing you know I get a call (I just got another yesterday) of a brand snob that has an important gig or session and they want to borrow my Epi or Squire. I have some very, very nice ones. I actually own this 335 in Rasberry Tea burst and it’s currently my favorite through my Hot Rod Deluxe and my Marshall JCM 2000 DSL40 with 5 good pedals bul no KLON or anything like that.

Colin, if youve ever worked on motorcycles you might have encountered the cable lubing tool that clamps over the cable end and the other side adapts to the red straw that comes with spray cans of the various lubes (speedo, brakes, shifter, clutch cable grease and so forth.) There is in fact such a very similar doo-dad for pots to lube/clean them in situ. The one end slides over the the pot shaft and self seals against the threads, the other end accomodates the red straw from the DeOxit spray can. It forces cleaner down the gap between the pot bushing and the shaft. Granted it sounds more like that bridge volume pot is actually dodgy but you never know what a shot of contact cleaner might accomplish

Lots of my favorite KZbinrs having been doing 335s this week. I don't have one, I feel left out. It's Friday and Colin's doing one. If Chris Buck and Eric Haugen do one today, I'll have no choice but to go out and buy one.

Good video , enjoyed like I always do!

Colin. The Epiphone pickups likely plug into the volume pots, either with three or four conductor quick connect plugs if push pull. That’s what the big access is for, to pass the connectors through. When I first saw in previous video I thought the plug isn’t seated fully into the socket on the pot. Just needs a push with a little screwdriver through F hole to seat it. Hope you sort it. Cheers.

Colin, I would like to see you try Wilkinson pickups, I tried some on my ESP and was quite impressed, compared to the original pickups.

Aloha and Mahalo Colin! In 2021 I played an 2019 Epiphone Cherry 335 and Sunburst 330. I didn't care for the 335 heavy and dead sounding. 330 I liked. Only played both acoustically
