[@TheOne-fu1nh]

Foo fighters? Seriously? CHUCK BERRY invented rock n roll with this guitar.

[@timothycormier3494]

I hate to sound like a broken record again today. But man I love that guitar

[@mikellopez9]

My favourite ES of all time!!! I love the trapeze tailpiece on those things man... Great episode Mark & Jen, you really made my day!!!!

[@RockHardRiffs]

Man....there's just nothing not to like about it. Great tone each position. Love it!

[@onthe1481]

Rock Hard Riffs---I concur.

[@RockHardRiffs]

Curtis John Cole ...I concur with your concurrence. Zoiks! Whoever designed the patent number/paf pick ups deserves a medal.

[@onthe1481]

Rock Hard Riffs--- :))

[@ikefork2606]

Nice guitar Mark. I have a '65 ES-335 very similar ...only mine has ALL NICKEL parts/pickups, no chrome on mine. You mentioned 3 big changes in 1965 to the ES-335 model, but actually there were 4 significant changes. Lot's of folks forget about the change from a 17 degree headstock .....to the shallower 14 degree angle that occurred in 1965. Mine has the 17 degree headstock. Can't really tell what your guitar's headstock is. Anyway, there were 4 significant changes in 1965. Thanks again for the great review.

[@jeremycanlapan873]

What are those significat changes sir ?

[@RedGibsonsRock]

Been loving Norm's book a long time, and now I'm loving this 335. Good job on those Commodores changes, Mark!

[@matthewpaluch777]

Happy wednESday everyone! It's not weird but nice. It's a Gibson 330 'FIVE'.

[@fluroflash2803]

330 FIVE. Hahaha. Please play some Rory Gallagher

[@andybowlin]

For the last time-- I fall apart

[@JJ-JOHNSON]

Damn it Mark the wife and I have been watching GOTD from the beginning and your playing is awesome has improved 110% scene the start of Guitar of the day, we would just like to say thank you to you and Jen for the awesome job your doing by keeping us entertained. Peaceeeeeeee.

[@danielsgrunge]

That red color is so unique. This guitars is beautiful damn

[@saintbrando]

[@krunkasaurus05]

Yes! The return of ES Wednesday!

[@jonviol]

[@michaelmerritt1722]

Love the ES's! Thanks Mark and Jen! Byeeeeeee!

[@Bodyknowledge77]

I got ordered an 339 Epi this color today:-) 1. The Commodores "Easy"(I cheated)2. Foo Fighters "Learning To Fly" 3. The Bluesbreaker's "Steppin Out" ...This is a sexy beast of a Gibby..

[@geetarbube]

Bodyknowledge 77 Just picked up an Epi ES-339 in Sunburst for $270 on clearance

[@joemontgomery6658]

Bodyknowledge 77 last song was hideaway

[@jalanhart]

Bodyknowledge 77 #3 is stepping out by the Bluesbreakers

[@Bodyknowledge77]

william pridgen naw it ain't "Hideaway"...

[@Bodyknowledge77]

geetarbube nice:-)...Mines is coming from Sweetwater new..

[@TheRockyhockey007]

classic 335 , nice jangly high end , and some nice growl in the low end , way to step out on that Eric Clapton riff Mark. I never had much appreciation for the hollow body guitars until GOTD , but I'm starting to reconsider them more and more , thanks guys.

[@danielbspinola]

What a warm tone! Nice

[@zplapplap]

Fantastic description!

[@jalanhart]

Damn. Was really hoping for another weird ass Wednesday but this’ll do.

[@michaelk5282]

That thing sounds amazing.

[@lloydgriffiths1847]

That bridge pickup song was played very very well man! Enjoyed it plenty

[@Geronimo122]

Nice tone on this one--sounds great!

What about that overdub, huh? "Five" Ha!

[@brucelk19]

André Concer I tripped out at first

[@joshuatrutwin8028]

I'd like to see a LP Silverburst and the story behind the color. Love the Guitar of the Day series!

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Centaur is the cool place in Portland! Nice of u to shout out. Bought my husbands Squire Strat there, a perfect starter guitar for him. Centaur has the good stuff too. Like this 355, its almost as nice as my 60s Guild Starfire. I prefer the Trapeze like this to the ‘stops’. This has the right nut too! Nice gee-tar!! So tempting, would be a fine mate with my blonde clear maple Guild. Great tone. Lots of bands in the day had these..

[@onthe1481]

Jennifer WhiteWolf--- Still do, bluesy/soul players.

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Curtis John Cole It was the right way to make these! In the day, frets were lower too right out of the box. Nice yummy lower frets that you can feel the neck under and not sharp the notes just making a chord. My Guild has zero checking/cracking in the nitro. This would be drop dead stunning if it were still perfect finish. Still desired👍

[@bilbobaggins3464]

This is a Great Guitar. WOW !

[@Oris37]

That over-dubbed "5" had me in stitches..! :-)

[@Smart-Alex]

Mark/Jen: as I mentioned, I watch GOTD every day and I’m turning 50 tomorrow. If you can wish me a happy birthday, it’ll make my day! Thanks and byeeeeeee!

[@oskarileikos]

I LOVE the narrow nut. Just makes it easier to play for the small hands I've got. All the chords are just easier.

[@noellagarnett9235]

Wow, beautiful guitars, l was lucky to come across a 1941 Acoustic Gibson, how rare is this???

[@129bogeydog]

Five! Great guitar and playing

[@ikefork2606]

Hey Mark...no need to make excuses for the trapeze tailpiece on this beautiful 1965 ES-335. Nothin' wrong with the trapeze....in fact I find the trapeze tailpiece adds a fuller - more resonant sound to the ES-335 vs. the stop-tailpiece models. Just consider the additional string length behind the bridge - which consequently loads the guitar's internal maple block via the trapeze tailpiece. You've got much more vibration from the added string length to interact with and add to the resonance of the guitar's body - unlike the stop tailpiece models. It's a complete myth and internet folklore that the trapeze is inferior. All you have to do is plug one in and hear the difference yourself. What you read on the Internet is quite often not true. But hey - thanks for keeping the prices down on these fantastic guitars. Tm

[@dakotaross6094]

I've been waiting for some bluesbreakes!

[@onthe1481]

dakota ross--- John Mayall

[@onthe1481]

dakota ross :)

[@MrStranger1944]

I can dig it.

[@michaelrussell146]

Mr.Stranger D.U.G.

[@olibratley]

The day you can't dig it is the day I die

[@alexcox3943]

I was hoping to see this one! I don’t know why an es-335 with a trapeze is less desirable. They’re my favorites!

[@copierguy1961A]

Sounds great clean and dirty. Awesome guitar 🎸

[@Iamthelao]

breath taking

[@IamRemoWilliams]

Man you know your guitars!fantastic go to dude

[@christianparkinson6249]

nice work on that Clapton Mark! ams way to shoutout Centaur Guitar in Portland... its a really cool shop. cheers!

[@guitarocd9984]

Steppin out was awesome

[@brianbianco7316]

Some Be Bop Deluxe would sound great on that guitar. I think Bill Nelson used a Gibson ES 345 on his Futurama stuff.

[@gandttv8528]

Hi Mark and Jen. my name is Tyler and I am 12 years old. My dad is a subscriber and watches these videos with me. It's his birthday on Straterday and it would be cool if you could shout him out. His name is Greg and he is 55. Also, his back was broken in a car crash when he was 18 so he can't walk or play guitar anymore. His guitars disappeared when he was getting better and he says he hopes they are safe and making good music. one was a 1979 Les Paul Custom in natural and the other was a 1974 SG in polaris white. We have pix and the serial number for the SG so if someone knows about them it would be cool for him. Also dad, if you read this I love you and Happy Birthday.

[@gusdupree2508]

G and T TV you are a goid son Tyler , youre dad sounds like a good man and you will be one as well , good job thinking about him

[@trapperkcmo3460]

tight show. good job, both of you. that one will be gone. playaers gonna play.

[@Gunslinger320]

Hey Mark!!! Love the show and watch religiously...even thumping Thursday *cough* cough*...didn't bother with a birthday shout out this month (turned 37). Anyway I was hoping you might bust out some old Creedence...like Keep on Chooglin????

[@chadhutsell8847]

Rad. Sounds great!

[@narbonneguitars9331]

hey man ...i honestly check you out for of course great guitars but,Mark us music buffs an guitar players have those days u have players block i watch u an im always amazed what songs ur going to pull out an its like throwing on the radio for the goodies an classics some of the tunes i havent heard or thought of in a long time ...nice video my point is i cant afford the guitars u show but i think it inspires people to try different guitars ...played a couple but thats it ...love the richenbacher from the other day...

[@elfunetti2503]

GREAT! love the smiths

[@geetarbube]

Alzon46 Nitrógeno me too, but he didn't play any

[@vinicioserafini5929]

Long time since you did the last Danelectro. Wold be nice to have one from time to time!

[@angeladiffenderfer2805]

A little Ten Years After please Mark . I know it's not the exact same guitar but close enough

[@Zephirot080]

I see that after over 400 episodes you are getting the hang of it Mark

[@lawrencecrouch1560]

Mark, the ones asking for weird shit are like 1% of your online clientele.I log in every night and enjoy your adventures, yet say nothing because I am content. I'm an old fart,not as old as Carlos Guitarlos....just keep it simple ...guitar of the day has a nice ring to it.Just keep doing what you do and not to worry about xzeboheads wanting 3 neck guitars...Lar

[@Chrispy_tV]

AMAZING voiceover work in the beginning. I for one could not focus after that. GREAT guitar tho!!! Thanks guys!!! Byeeee 🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥

[@101Volts]

If you have any unusual Mosrite guitars (not necessarily the Ventures models) that might fit the "Weird-Ass Wednesday" bill good; there are a number of instances where Mosrite just put things together with what they had on hand to get them out the door. I wouldn't say they did this even 5% of the time, Mosrite just have a few anomalies I noticed.

[@matdemaz]

Awesome stuff. 👍

[@stevep6317]

I'd love to see some small ES guitars, like 339's for example

[@mitchellhughes5180]

Was that "I'm Easy" by Keith Carradine from the classic Robert Altman film Nashville?🤔

[@danhope77]

Is the sustain excellent or the trapeze worsens it a bit? Great sound.

[@NiqScott]

Seamless editing there with the "TDC" drop-in ;)

[@DarwinRuckleshaus8408]

Steppin’ Out, nice 👍🏼

[@Sasketchejuana_man]

you can see the scratches he left in the gutiar from picking at 9:27

[@onthe1481]

Warm tonal response with limited feedback. That guitar is Exceptional.. Gibson! I'm a Les Paul guy..the 335's body 2 big for my liking...but, I never heard one played that did not sound good, consistency. I want one.

[@fabiodarocha8810]

Hey Mark. Please. Do a ES-347 from Gibson. It'd kinda rare outside US. Belive me. People don't know this enhanced 335 with ebony fingerboard, sometimes brass nut and gold hardware.

[@jeremyjohnston592]

Fabio da Rocha Good call. They're a killer guitar

[@kianucollis3929]

How much did that sell for....? New to your site. Loving it...!±!

[@lauramoore9659]

I Love ESs

[@JohnnyArtPavlou]

Nothing happens on January 1st. So you might say… All is quiet on New Year’s Day. 😏

[@VinylIsForever]

Why are the stop tail piece 335s more desirable? Does it make a differenc in tuning stability? OR is it just a collector thing?

[@Riffme81]

My fav finish. Mark, Jen just a reminder please please please request for a birthday shout out. I turn 37 March 25. I'll see the straturday vid on Sunday. Birthday shout out straturday 😀

[@Smagledorf]

I will get that Maton Mark! Gotta do a Maton!

[@timlilly]

Nice, and the red ones always sound better! My 65 has all nickel parts (trapeze included) but there is no lacquer checking

[@arlingtonhynes]

Video starts early today at 0:51 Do weird ass Thursday!

[@sammyhat2443]

Damm I miss those easy Sunday morning feelings

[@gregdelrey7093]

Hey, Greg from Michigan again, my birthday is Saturday the 24th. If you have a strat, I’d love to hear some SRV or John Mayer

[@danielpettineo88]

1. The Commodores - Easy

[@Bodyknowledge77]

Daniel Pettineo yes! I thought it was a version of "Knocking On Heaven's Door"!

[@JoeB16v]

335 ❤️❤️❤️

[@omagoo585]

Nice "FIVE" punch in!

[@doovie101]

Is the pickguard warped?

[@mcrestwood7378]

every time I check this vid out-I had a 65 red335-i wanna go watch Mean Streets.

[@tdtom1376]

for next weird ass Wednesday, play that bouzouki that is hanging on the wall between the electric and acoustic section.

[@JohnnyArtPavlou]

td tom Ώπα!

[@georgechapogas1054]

ooooopa

[@andrewpappas9311]

td tom Considering that my family is Greek that would honestly be hilarious

[@JohnnyArtPavlou]

Andrew Pappa, Γεια σου Αντρέα! I mean maybe on Κιθάρα of the Day. We would have to ease him into it by at least getting him to play mandolin.

[@sandorclegane752]

td tom mark can barely function on a normal guitar what makes you think he can play bouzouki?

[@tomjohn3364]

ES Wednesday great sounding guitar. Everyone needs to own one. They can play almost every style. Now dig out the VOX guitars. I hope by June you'll have one that my birthday the 27th. So Jen keep bugging Mark to remember. Save the date lol.

[@bak1386]

Man I want a job there, I would pack up all my shit and move out there to work at that place. Dream job for sure as far as I'm concerned. This goes without saying but that is an amazing gorgeous guitar. Sounds as good as it looks

[@Bboy10011]

Do a cort, because I have this vintage 1980s? Cort semi hollow body that I can't find any information on it and it's frustrating the shit out of me, it says it's a performer series which, went from like 81-91? And it's basically like a cort source, so yeah idk

[@RoderickGMacLeod]

Jen, what's with the 360p video today?

[@fordsmobile1672]

Steppin' Out .....nice

[@skyking228]

Fun, thx

[@TheBankBand]

Alternative tuning? :D

[@JoeHakos]

Hello... Weird Ass Wednesday but very nice.... 65 Cherry Very Nice. I say again.... VERY NICE! Thanks Mark & Jen

[@angeredcheese1332]

With a name like dean no wonder he's kicking cancers ass. Great to hear your keepin alive dean! Frick cancer

[@scotthayes9132]

My birthday is monday and i’ll be 15, and i play bass and guitar (mainly a bass player) and i’m thinking of getting a strat. Is a strat a good choice? I own i mini les paul but it’s to small bc i’m 6”3 lol

[@glenkepic3208]

This is why Mark now works for Gibson.

[@robertscottpurse1]

Can anybody tell me why Gibson changed the 335 from the stop bar to the trapeze bridge?

[@mr.aarong.2115]

Love the voice over . . . FIVE!!! (LOL) :)

[@DanaLeeGibson]

Kick ass!

[@paulofreire7520]

Transition model...!? Whatever...! That’s a heck of a 335. What a tone!

[@raywt3237]

that 5 freaked me out! some super furry animals would have been nice on that one

[@ClarenceHW]

Nylon saddles... warms up the sound.

[@maksa.v4]

What's the song at 10m00s? Edit: ok, got it - Cream, Stepping Out

[@thomasnettleton289]

Episode 381. Life is either Cherry Red...ah, it's Cherry Red.
