The ONLY guitar show I watch anymore. Love to listen to Colin and learn all about stuff. Brilliant!!!

Agreed. Colin's our KZbin "pub mate."

[@RaelWander]

You're a swell bloke with great instincts, rockin' chops, and the best waffle on the KZbins, Mister Colin, and let nobody tell you otherwise. Thanks for putting in all the effort, and for making our Fridays that little bit better.

[@theguitaristas]

Thanks man! 😁👍

[@cookiebombsta2607]

I’m the Epiphone Sheraton nut that went crazy on your comments when u got that thing. I was super surprised you picked the 335 over the Sheraton, to my ears the Sheraton sounded better on your mic set up. But when I went back and listened again I TOTALLY see why you picked the 335. It fits your playing style better - and I love your playing style. I’m not sure why it works better - it’s a mids EQ thing I think. Your 335 has a bite that cuts thru real nice - the Sheraton has a smoother side - which I prefer for my style. But… My favorite guitar on you is most definitely the SG. If you go back and listen to your demos the SG always nudges out the rest - I think it’s because your love of that guitar shines thru in your music. Good Lord, guitars are wonderful. You are the reason I’m currently shopping for an SG. I like the looks of that Caption Kirk Douglas SG with that extra knob on the pick guard. But I don’t like acrylic inlays - they look cheap. For that price point they should have gone with pearl inlays. Sorry for rambling on. Hard not to with your show. It’s awesome. And I thank you for it.

[@theguitaristas]

Cheers man… let us know when you bag that SG! 😁👍🔥

[@Aries_Alpha]

25 years playing and I have never played this style of guitar, they just never spoke to me or inspired me as a player. They look and sound wicked maybe I should get out of my comfort zone, thanks mate for making my lunch break interesting, again!

[@ruffryder13]

These are one of the last styles I played. Now I can't get enough of them. Playing them loud is key for me.

[@daveduffy2823]

I am the same. Everyone of this style I bought I wound up selling. They are pretty, but playing wise they never grabbed me.

[@Aries_Alpha]

Great review as usual. Got my Sheraton II Pro 3 years ago it's become my goto instrument. It's so versatile, even more so after I added a Stetsbar tremelo system. Yeah it's heavy but I mostly play seated when playing this guitar although I do gig with it. Superb value for money.

[@zazoomatt]

Always Appreciate your Reviews and made this Interesting with Points of Interest Very clear here mate. I always wanted the DOT to start with but got the Sheraton Pro II & 399 in 2022. Got the Epiphone Riviera P93 with 3 P90s and had Everything Replaced but the Pickups, Gold selector switch & Bigsby instead of the ES 335.Colin you add the way one needs to know very well.

When you yourself are surprised by the comparison outcome; that it an honest comparison! Well done.👌 Beautiful playing by the way!🎼🎼🎸🎸

[@SplyBox]

Really looking forward to seeing you build a guitar, I've definitely had the thought pass through my head so I look forward to watching your series! Also just picked up a 339 after watching your initial review of it last month, I really wanted to check it out after watching and a month later of humming and hawing I picked one up!

[@christopherwatkins9729]

Yup ! The ES-339 has that 'X' Factor for me too ! especially through a "Tweedy Blues Junior" ... Enjoy ! 🤠...

[@markpell8979]

Good show, Colin. The comments below are great reading today, I could identify with all on something or everything. Three great guitars, I'd pick the 339 all things considered, figured you liked the 335 most. But I would still be happy with any of them. The beauty and details of the Sheraton might sway some, or the pickups, so to each their own. Cheers from hot, hot Dallas!

I've got the Epi Sheraton Pro 2, but I quite fancy the 339. I like the idea of the 335 design with the smaller body and the tone appeals to me. The 15 minute kit guitar build is a great idea. Very interested to see how that turns out. Great video Col. Thanks very much

Great thorough video as always! I have the Epiphone Joe Bonamassa ES-335 in red and really like it. I might play it as much as my Gibsons. Glad to see the ES-335 was your favorite too…makes me wanna take mine out and play it now haha.

[@harolddavis4138]

[@andysfishingandflytyingcha2310]

Acousticly the Sheraton sounded amazing but amped the 335 sang, it was warmer. The 339 wasn't in the same ball park. I have a tobacco sunburst '77 Gibson 335 with the coil tap switch on the lower horn. It's an incredible guitar, so versatile. I just love her. Great honest review again. Loved it.

[@stevenbarton2398]

Brilliant as always and I know others have reviewed the Harley Benton, Brian May inspired BM-75 but I would love to see you review it and if applicable upgrade.

Good comparison sir! I would always pick the 335 and not just because I own one and love it But because if I got any of the other guitars, I would still be jonesin' for the 335! The Inspired by Gibson 335s are just incredible guitars for the money!

As I said before, love the semi hollow content. Probably the first channel to do these 3 guitars. For me either the 335 or the Sheraton. Larger body size is just easier for Me to play, probably because I started on acoustic. Love my '97 Epiphone dot that I bought new in '97.

[@carlosdeno]

Great video as always Colin, the ebony Sheraton for me is the best looking. However the ES335 vintage sunburst looks so classy, purely on its classic looks. As for how they sound I’d be happy with both. Looking forward the Tele build! ✌️Have a great weekend mate. 🤘

[@mixn5919]

Nice comparison, I wasn't aware the neck profiles were so similar. I also didn't know that the center block in the 335 was smaller than the other two, that's very interesting. Seems like all three are very capable gigging guitars, the Probuckers are quite impressive too. I've used a 2000s Epiphone Sheraton II for around 7 years now. It's a pretty versatile guitar, especially when equipped with decent electronics. I got it for $500 used, already had Gibson '57 Classic pickups installed (I did not know this when I bought it), and it absolutely sings. Sheratons have a distinct jangle/chime to them that charmed me early on, and it makes them really unique when compared to other semi-hollow guitars. It's also probably my favourite guitar to play clean, and really sparkles with my AC15, loves overdrive too. It's one of my 'never sell' guitars.

Another great video Colin, I have an Epiphone ES 335 Pro which I picked up in the sales for £279 a few years ago, from what I can tell it's very similar to the sunburst Epi 335 you have, just with coil splits and block inlays in the neck - great guitar. Just curious do you generally set your pickups high or low? I find this can make a huge difference to the sound/tone.

[@jmoses580]

[@ericoswood1856]

I thought the Sheraton sounded best but the neck feel is the most important attribute. Not surprised you picked the 335. Great video!

[@richarddelconnor]

I had a 335 back in 1974. I loved it for recording, and I got a variety of sounds of a very wide range. But I hated it for performing because it was squealed with Feedback when I was performing obviously rather loud. I told everybody I was gonna fill it with polyurethane if I was going to keep it. I ended up trading it for the 1957 Rickenbacker 4000 bass that I still play today. I’ve never been disappointed with my Ricky. You’ve inspired me to consider getting a semi hollow body again if I was to get the Sheraton, which sounds great unplugged and with more solid fill inside, hopefully it doesn’t squeal with feedback when you don’t want it on stage. I will research this further. Thank you for your video.

Two thumbs up on this one. The first thumb for the playout, which was fantastic. The second for validating my decision to buy my 335, and more importantly not to buy a 339, which I had been eyeing, but don't need, and can't afford.

339 reminds me of my Epi wildcat I have. Same size but packs a nice clear punch! Sold my first Sheraton years ago, missed it and then got a great deal on a Pro2 for $325US from a guy in LA in near mint condition! Haven’t put it down since. Thanks for your reviews and I believe I’m going to start your tv channel trial. I love doing parts casters from scratch, nothing more satisfying then saying I made it.

[@GazWJ205]

Funnily enough I love the alnico classics too - I bought the white Epi SG standard and much preferred the sound of them to the probuckers in the '61 I tried. They just sounded less flat and had a bit more sizzle to them while still being a "vintage" voice.

Interesting comparison. I liked the 335 best as well.

[@williamarthurfenton1496]

The 339 isn't a small guitar compared to solid bodies like Les Pauls and SGs (actually it's a touch bigger), but I suppose it does look it when in direct contrast to a 335. I suppose one just expects a semi-hollow guitar to be bigger. I haven't got a 335, but I've read the 339 is a blend between the classic sound of its bigger brother and a more focused tone of an SG or LP. Though the 339 does seem to lose some of that lovely 335 raspiness. I'm honest about the importance of appearance to say I think the colour options on the 335 are rather limited. Wish they did one in natural.

Iv got the Sheraton and it’s the best guitar Iv got in my arsenal, does everything! Brilliant guitar 👌

[@RickMcCargar]

Thanks for the comparison. Note: when you strummed them acoustically, you picked the two full size guitars in approximately the same spot in front of the bridge pickup...when you strummed the 339, you didn't adjust for the body size and ended up picking just behind the front pickup. Picking position dramatically affects tone.

[@utinirhino7658]

Great episode, thank you. Did you hear what Noel Gallagher said recently about his old 335? It turns out not all 335's are the same ( well the old Gibsons anyway). Some might have been built on a Friday! 🤣 He was on That pedal show. Keep up the great content 🤘🏻

The Sheraton is a stunning Guitar. The 339 is a superb color. I don't know Colin. I would say their all pretty cool, with the Sheraton picking them to the post on looks. Won't the Guitar sound better with that floral Headstock? I own a couple of Epiphone hollow bodies, they were me Dads and he was right handed. Ones a Casino and the others a Sheraton, early ones. There's nothing on show here you would say no to. The only Headache being which one to choose. Thanks mate, you make Fridays worth waiting for 🙏

[@nigef334]

I'd have thought you'd go with the Sheraton, but agree the 339 sounded nicer, perhaps it resonates more in sync with the Alnico pickups than the Sheraton does with it's buckers. Have yet to get a semi hollow guitar, for me it would have to be the 339 complete with P90s, if such a thing exists that is. Another cracking video with loads of waffle, perfect 👍

Tengo la fortuna de tener una 335 y una Sheraton. Muy semejantes. Pero la Sheraton Negra es hermosa. Su sonido muy pastoso, con mas peso. no podría decir cual es mejor. Son paleta de colores.

Colin, Thankyou for your wonderful and different take on vlogs...i look forward to the latest vid..keep it up. I really do love the 339... thats next on the 'to get list'.... Your videos have inspired me to play with a solder, and change my electronics within my guitars.. I have noticed a huge tonal difference with different caps in with the stock pups... my als65 gt has now a total different sound with just proper pots and a .44k pio cap. 600v the p90s just SING..!! However with regard to the differing voltage(?) Rateing on the caps... would they have a affect on the pup readings (k ohms) If i put a 100v, 200v would it be a hearable difference maybe a orange drop..??200v (Maybe a idea for a vid..?) Love the work, keep inspiring...👍👍

For looks, the Sheraton is stunning. I’m a Strat & Les Paul guy, but I fancied a semi hollow. I bought an ebony Sheraton 2 (Korean) after much research into 335 style guitars. However I just didn’t bond with it. It’s just not my thing. I tried hard and could have stuck it on a wall just to look at, but I sold it so it would get played by someone who appreciated it. Instruments are meant to played regardless how much you admire them. Had I come across a video like this back then, I’d have been torn between a 335 & a Sheraton. I thought the 335 just edged it tone wise to my ears. Great comparison this week. 👍

[@theguitaristas]

Cheers Den, I feel like that about guitars as well, sometimes they just deserve to be with someone who will play them. I just need to remind myself of that when I look back sometimes and ask myself why on earth did I sell that one! 🤣👍

Hello sir, greetings to you from Guyana. I've always love watching your videos since quite some years now. However, I have a question for you: is it possible to get the Iommi sound out of the ES 335 if its properly set up like with kind of pickups ,etc? I asked since I am wondering if a semi-solid can yield that heavy metal sound. In addition, bear with me I haven't seen physically yet any of these guitars hence, I was hoping you would have done a body size comparison by holding 335 over the Sheraton a little. How did the two compare in that aspect? I have gotten this new affinity for the ES 335.I love it dearly...the aesthetics, its historicity ,etc. Thanks.

Thank you for watching! 😁🙏 yes you can certainly get a heavy sound from 335 with the right amp and pedals that is no problem. Check the film again I think maybe I did hold 335 and 339 side by side?

Love the videos but you left out in my opinion one of the best semi hollow bodies out there and that’s the Gretsch 5655T QM speyside sounds great and looks great

Why did Epiphone get rid of the coil taps on the 339? I love this feature on mine. There is a significant difference in the sound when using and I always have the bridge coil tapped and play mostly in the middle position.
