My Dream Guitar

[@jasontieu3737]

Amazing. I deleted my IG and lost track of your progress on the 335. The algorithm reconnected us. Very glad you got it!!

[@GabrielBergman95]

Welcome back!!

[@piano2873]

Thank you for sharing your excitement and music with us. It’s a great feeling we all can relate to and appreciate.

[@GabrielBergman95]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@karmadave]

Congrats Gabe! That's a stunning guitar and it perfectly suits your playing style. As much as I'd love to own a vintage 335, I am more than happy with my Custom Shop Historic 59 and 64 ES-335's .

[@GabrielBergman95]

Thanks so much man!! The reissues are incredible guitars!!

[@ajharvey]

Same feeling I had finding my cherry block ‘63 es-335. It was the Dream guitar. And if you’re gonna do it, do it right. So happy you found THE ONE. 🎉

[@GabrielBergman95]

thanks man!! Glad you found 'the one' too!

[@billypreston]

Congratulations Gabriel !! What you did (avoiding compulsory buying and holding until finding what you were looking for) shows true character. Well done and enjoy that beauty for many many years. As the guardian and protector of jewels, now you have two treasures: the 335 and that Boca Juniors shirt signed by the players!!

[@GabrielBergman95]

Thanks Billy, haha yess, 335 and Boca jersey! The Boca jersey is even signed by Riquelme!

[@billypreston]

@@GabrielBergman95 Nooooo ! Then that jersey is worth more than a 1959 Les Paul :) I was right that you owned two treasures !

[@GabrielBergman95]

[@GabrielBergman95]

Good choice! Thanks for watching James!

[@aminahmed2220]

Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day also congratulations with the vintage guitar ❤😊

[@GabrielBergman95]

Thanks man!!

[@tidepoolbay]

It is so Great to find the one guitar you are looking for and when you find it it meets all of your Expectations! Peace & Love! WooF!!🐶🐶

[@GabrielBergman95]

Yes, it was a journey , but it all worked out!

[@troytempest290]

I have the exact same guitar & I was surprised at the difference the nylon saddles make to the sound. Great playing buddy 👏

[@GabrielBergman95]

Nylon saddles are awesome! Thanks man, glad you enjoyed the video!!

[@nulldude782]

Woah! One note on that thing sounds like heaven!

[@GabrielBergman95]

Thanks man!!!

[@KennedyIvy]

Congratulations, very cool guitar. Nice playing

[@GabrielBergman95]

Thanks a lot!

[@csharp57]

That’s my holy grail too. I’ll probably have to sell some of my favorite equipment to own one too. Congrats on your purchase

[@GabrielBergman95]

Thanks man! Never say never, be on the look out. It took me 2 years to find the right one and right price! Slow and steady wins the race!

[@NickGranville]

Nice guitar man! That’s a guitar for life. There’s a 335 for sale here in Nz at the moment which is 10 serial numbers away from Claptons, so very likely the very next 335 made after EC’s. The other 9 serial numbers in between might been LP’s or whatever. The guy wants $50k NZD for it which feels high to me.

[@GabrielBergman95]

Thanks Nick!! That’s about 30k usd, seems about right I think.

[@Gaslight.Guitar]

Congrats man. Thats a keeper for sure! Enjoy it

[@GabrielBergman95]

Thanks man!!

[@tato4612]

Thats some bad-ass guitar playing my friend!

[@GabrielBergman95]

Thanks so much man, I really appreciate it !

[@tlister67]

Has that great 335 honk, love the bridge pickup with the OD1 on. Playing Kid Char solo that clean is high level, Larry was the man. I have a Tokai MIJ 335 that I really love, real craftsmanship.

[@GabrielBergman95]

Thanks man! The pickups are so balanced! Tokais are amazing!

[@GrimpleGromble]

That is a SWEET guitar! Great playing too!

[@GabrielBergman95]

It sure is! So happy to have it!

[@robertfair1770]

[@GabrielBergman95]

Thanks Robert!!

[@johndooley7812]

Excellent playing.🎯

[@GabrielBergman95]

Thanks a lot!

[@michaelheller8841]

You like Larry Carlton just a bit lol. It's one of the main reasons we want a 335 to be honest. in 2023 I wanted one not vintage it's above my pocket. I pulled the trigger after playing different 335s and actually went with a new 345 instead. I traded in a few guitars for it and didn't miss any of them. What a guitar! The guitar can do it all. So easy to play, rings like a bell, is warm or crisp, and can get mad if you want it to. The acoustics sound great even unplugged hanging around just to grab and play. I think most people are overlooking how great a guitar that it is, the entire 335, 345, and 355 series. I own a CS R8 that is my #1 Les Paul but my 345 fights it in every way. Your guitar is great and I believe you won't trade that one for anything.

[@GabrielBergman95]

Thanks Michael! It really is such a versatile guitar like you mentioned. I took it to a lesson yesterday, and it was so loud I just used it acoustically! You have a good collection, Les Paul and 345! That’s all you need!!

[@fredrickriffel5845]

Very nice indeed. Congratulations

[@GabrielBergman95]

Thanks!!!

[@kenjohnson6368]

I got a real 64 Cherry just like yours - but it was a Bigsby only (no STP holes) and it too sounds like this one - got it from the original owners daughter and its such a sweet guitar.

[@GabrielBergman95]

Oh that’s awesome!! This one, under the custom made plaque, has the holes, but the original owner filled it with like wood shavings lol. Gonna re drill them and put the stoptail piece soon!

[@danmoore9047]

Sounds so good! Congratulations!

[@GabrielBergman95]

Thank you so much!!

[@anthonythornhill8715]

Sounds amazing

[@GabrielBergman95]

Thanks !!!

[@benedekgabor.]

That’s a dream guitar indeed. I also dream of an ebony 345 with a bigsby. One day, one day…

[@GabrielBergman95]

That’s a good guitar!

[@ric8248]

Great great guitar, congrats! (is that an Everton shirt? haha)

[@GabrielBergman95]

thanks man! no haha not Everton. Its Boca Juniors!

[@ric8248]

@@GabrielBergman95 ohh you're right.. my bad

[@freddymclain]

I've owned three-two red ones and one in sunburst from the 60's. I would probably still own one except that I found a superior guitar that costs much less...The Eastman T-185. Made of solid woods, has 25" scale on an EBONY board (what you want!) 1.75" at the nut, 12" radius, etc.

[@GabrielBergman95]

Nice!!

[@jasonevans9360]

congrats man!

[@GabrielBergman95]

Thanks Jason!!!

[@Earl00001]

Congratulations, Gabe! That is one special guitar. But im wondering, will there be evidence left when you remove the Bigsby?

[@GabrielBergman95]

there will be the 'snakebite'. The holes where the bigbsy was, as well as the holes around the strap button (also from the bigsby)

[@df8161]

Did you pay your parents back for the initial cost they paid for the super eagle? Or did you share the appreciation with them? I remember you said they bought you the PRS so hopefully you did right by them! Beautiful 335!

[@GabrielBergman95]

They were by my side this whole experience, very grateful for that and to them! My mom even said , for I think the first time , “go for it” haha

[@HALWASRIGHT]

Hey Gabe sounds incredible....CITY WON THE 4-PEAT.....LETS FU*KING GOOOOOOOOO!

What store bought it if you don’t mind me asking?

[@GabrielBergman95]

My super eagles? Ish Guitars in New York!

[@germantanofabre5709]

how about the 63? did you compare with your 64? is there much difference?

[@GabrielBergman95]

they're very similar, biggest difference is the 63 has the stoptail vs mine with bigbsy. sound wise, very similar!

[@Zoso7227]

Sounds as good as it looks! 😬

[@n01CK]

Wondering you got that for 800-1000$? A vintage 1965?, or am I bugging that they aren't expensive. Unless its a Re-issue. like 2017 or something.

[@GabrielBergman95]

Sorry? Not sure I understand the question.

[@n01CK]

u said you traded the prs 2021 price for that vintage es-335, so a 800$ guitar for a 12-15k guitar?

[@n01CK]

if it is a actual vintage 1965 which ya made it seemed, only 1965 i could find is 15k, 66-69 is like 7-8k but 1965 and below are oldies to find since Les Paul bodies were favored heavily in new age rock of 65’+

[@GabrielBergman95]

Well, I sold a 2016 super eagle, not a 2021 prs model. The super eagle was a limited edition of 100 made for John Mayer in 2016. Crazy enough and lucky enough, selling the super eagle covered the full price of this 335. Vintage from 1965 all original . Hope this clarifies!

[@GabrielBergman95]

Yes , vintage , early 1965. Had all 1964 specs like mentioned in the video. Chrome hardware, proper nut width, proper headstock angle, and patent number pickups

[@jayyoungmusic919]

You must be gargantuan bc that looks like a 339 in your lap
