“Seriously unpleasant… it’s a fabulous sound”. LMAO. Richard Hawley is a class act.

[@loularton]

brilliant songwriter and guitarist I love Richard Hawley

[@timothyreheht6485]

£250 is about £560 (about $700/€630) in todays money, in case anyone was wondering. Edit: Assuming, he bought it in 1990

[@mdub048]

That Tone Bender is the business! o.o

[@woodhd]

neck story reminds me of knocking over one of willard grant conspiracys guitars on stage at a gig in sweden

[@johnmirabile3535]

No matter what gibson does, they can never get the prestigous look of these old guitars

[@johnl.6930]

Neck volute, witch hat knobs at least late 60’s probably 70’s. But great player and does it really matter? Especially for 250 quid! Thanks for this video. The player not the equipment!

[@mjt5576]

I'm guessing a '67 or '68. But you're right. Who cares? It's a great guitar.

[@stevensherwood9674]

MJT 55 I reckon later, note the sticker inside the top F hole.. 70s style... I have a ‘67 335 which has the orange sticker.

[@Pipingpicker]

​@@stevensherwood9674 1970 at the very earliest. The volute came either late 1969 or early 1970. The sticker came late 1970 or early 1971. So an early 1970s. But they're still great guitars.

[@stevensherwood9674]

@@Pipingpicker they sure are, had a ‘73 335 in walnut. Very good guitars

[@danielarmstrong8503]

Man I love these wholesome badass old guitar geek geezers.

[@RobertSlover]

this is a perfect example of overcompensating with gear....spend less - practice more!

👌🏿

[@alejandrohualdez5550]

Now we're gonna be face to face and I'll lay right down in my favourite place....

[@milabenysek6540]

This guitar has "volute" in the headstock, so it means she was build post 1969 year during the Norlin era .... anyway good buy.

[@SeanChurchill97]

Obviously the guitar is sensational...BUT THAT FUZZ

[@akronko]

it's a 70s 335

[@stevensherwood9674]

Agreed, look at the sticker inside

[@joestrummer32]

Old Red...

[@dermot51]

'I wanna be your dog' to play out

[@midnightstorm4290]

Gotta get the flying v and Tonebender and we are there

[@js312raf]

Sorry Richard, that's not a '63 nor a '64. That's a very late '60s or '70s. The easiest way to tell is the volute on the back of the neck, the Gibson logo, the knobs, the chrome hardware and the Indian Rosewood fretboard.

[@cjscala87]

Jiří Strouhal I think it was put there when the neck was rebuilt. He starts the video by saying that

[@brandonkennedy5420]

I'd say post '72 because it has the 70's square label in the F-hole.

[@js312raf]

@@cjscala87 I'm aware he said that, but I don't believe it was replaced. Also, there is a '70s label inside the body, as mentioned above.

[@bee.normal]

Poor guy! He got conned. p.d: Mr. Strouhal is absolutely right.

[@darrylcole5575]

I was going to say also the truss rod cover is all black like the one on my 1972 es 325. The flower pot logo is not like an early to mid 60s es 335 either.

[@imannonymous7707]

ya the feedback is cool but it the guitar that screams... ....cool vid
