I was looking at 335s just recently. Came across a ‘78 Yamaha Super Axe. Said it’s got Alnico 3s in it. Thought!? Oh dear. Looked at Gibson Custom Shop. Alnico 3s. Four and a half grand. Yammy! £895. 40 yr old. Looks fabulous and plays fabulous. And of course more importantly it’s Japanese. Check them out. A few variations, but the SA 700 is based on the original 335. Robben Ford’s main axe for some time was an Epiphone. Not all about the name on the headstock!

Is that versatility or is it just "it does its OWN thing so damn well, that who cares about anything else, and the thing it does works in almost any genre?". When I hear versatility, I am thinking, can get me a stratty or a les paul sound. Can the ES335 do stratty or lespaul sounds? No, TBH I mean, I love the 335, but I'm a Gretsch admirer, more than Gibson.

I've got a Strat, Tele, and 335. I love them all but I'd say the most "versatile" is absolutely a Tele. They will just simply do anything and when you plug one into a Vox there is a moment of sheer ecstasy that awaits you every single time. I adore all three of my guitars though.

I have only been playing a few years and have tried to find which guitar I like the most. I have a tele, Les Paul, and have tried strats as well. I just recently picked up a Epiphone ES335 and to me it’s the most comfortable guitar I have played. I also like that it’s it so versatile and it can get you just about any sound you want. It has a certain sound while played clean that no other guitars gives you. Some say it’s too big but I’m only 5’7 and it fits me fine.

My vote goes to the ES-345 as the most versatile guitar - because it's an ES-335 with Varitone (yes I know some people hate it but it does give some usable tones) and it's stereo (or mono if you like). Although for me the PRS 513 comes close too for versatility.

I’m not trying to argue but I think a strat is the least versatile guitar of all time, I think they all sound thin and brittle. With no pedals or cranked fender twins (louder than anyone wants to play) they all sound too basic. Their control wiring isn’t very versatile either. You can play an sg or a 335 straight into almost any amp and sound as good as any record ever. But then again maybe I just haven’t come across one that i love yet!

Shout out to the ‘64. Got mine a year ago, my first semi-hollow. I couldn’t try out all 3 models for various reasons so I had to rely on video reviews that all sounded mediocre thru a tablet. I got the sense that the ‘64 had controllable bite if you need it and still have all the warmth. To my ears, the ‘59 had a bit more of the lower frequencies while the ‘61 sounded brighter. I did notice the nylon saddles on the ‘64 but didn’t give it much thought. I still haven’t personally played the other 2 models but I don’t regret picking the ‘64. The unwieldy (for the slight) body size gives me pause but the tones are worth it. Thankfully the ‘64 neck profile suits me well so it softens this misgiving.

I owned a custom shop ES 335 Rich Robinson model a while back, while it played really nice I always had the feeling the ageing and period correctness were a bit over done. I ended up selling it and I bought a vintage '68 ES 330 for about the same amount. I still have that one ;-). In my opinion you can't really replicate that vintage feel of an old instrument that's been played for years, it always seems to be a bit contrived.

Well done! I love the 335s. They have a true unique tone to them. You are not kidding there is a big difference between the Custom Shop and normal production guitars. I have a 60th R9 and the neck, fit and finish is and tone are out of this world. I also picked up a 2020 Trini Lopez '64 Reissue and it is phenomenal. I picked up a Wildwood Spec '63 ES-335. It's a Memphis shop but it's tone rivals the two customs. Fret work and neck are not quite the same though. If I get another Gibson, it will definitely be a Custom.

A 335-style guitar is arguably the most versatile guitar. No need to single one manufacturer out. Full size semi-hollows are my thing, and I have an Epiphone Riviera P93. Three P90s allow me to get any tone I can imagine. I'd put that guitar at the top of the list for most versatile. Two humbuckers can be limiting so a good remedy would be to have a 335-style guitar with a P90 in the Neck and a Filter'Tron in the Bridge. For a two pickup guitar that would pretty much cover all your bases.

The first time I played one (25 years ago), I thought I was hearing TWO GUITARS. There is this amazing amount of separation of the sound of the strings. It's not just the PAF (classic 57's) pickups, it's the construction of the guitar. Play something like "Freewill" by RUSH on it. Tunes like that were designed for the the 335. Unfortunately, the production like 335's that Gibson is making now, have changed the pickups and the neck profile. Definitely look at the reissues rather than the 2020 design. Gibson is losing their minds by messing with this (not to mention discontinuing the 175 - which is another horrible thing).

I've never understood exactly if the ES-335 (and similar models) as well as being iconic is the most versatile guitar, but it certainly has its own great personality and simply wonderful features... I have one that I use to record my songs and for some sounds it's really ideal.

Spot on Video on 335s 😎 I’ve played all the 3 models: '59 - True Semi-hollow body sound with Gibson's characteristic tone '61 - Aggressive but pleasant sounding semi-hollow (my fav) '64 - Sounds & feels like a Les Paul aka Solid body but in a 335 format I was a Les Paul snoot but now appreciate and admire the versatility of a 335. Some times I feel, 335 is what a good Les Paul should sound like - rich with an acoustic halo. Cheers to Captain & Pete for sharing great observations, sound demos, acoustic quality and passionately making these videos! Love from India ❤

@@ifensler most probably the other guitars you tried on have smaller bodies than 335, and so, your strap was set too long/low and your fratting hand wrist was off. The current 335 you referred used up more of the strap length and now the guitar neck is at the right position of your fretting hand.

I can't say how much I love my 335. It's an '81 dot in natural, which was passed on to me by my pop. I've never played a guitar that sounded better, at any price, and I've been playing a long time. If you can afford one at any of their various price ranges, you owe it to yourself to try one, no matter what genre of music you play. Heck, with the strides Epiphone is making, I wouldn't be surprised if theirs are great too. And they FINALLY fixed that bloody headstock.

Had a '92 since new; BB2 replacing the 490 bridge pickup made all the difference in the world. My only issue is ergonomic: it's a big guitar to reach around, and the neck joins the body and extends further out then most, and I'm not that big a guy, so despite it being my favourite sounding instrument, I don't often play it.

Thought I’d play a 335 just for “comparison”. iv always loved the sound and look of them but figured they were way out of my budget. After one touch to the neck I new this was going to be an expensive visit to the music shop. It was love at first note for my vintage burst satin finish 335.

@@chrisosborneband4941 I've got both as well and I guess it depends on what you call "versatile". I think a 335 will do jazz better than a Strat. It will probably do rock better than a Strat. It's probably equal in terms of blues and a Strat will probably do country better than a 335. Also the 5 way switch on a Strat gives you more instant tonal options but if you can efficiently use your knobs you can really get quite an array of sounds from a 335 as well. That being said I also have a Tele and really think it's actually the most versatile ever.

At the risk of gate-crashing a Gibson party - I bought an Eastman T-59/V-RD earlier this year, which is obviously "inspired" by the classic '335... and, yeah - it's just such a versatile guitar. It's a bit of a return to my roots, because my first "proper" guitar was an Epiphone EA-255 Casino back in the '70s.
