This has quickly become one of my favorite guitar “pron” channels. Honest opinions throughout. If you don’t like something you just flat out say so. Also no attempts to BS the audience if you aren’t sure of something. You just say “I don’t really know” and move on. Authenticity at its finest. Quite a breath of fresh air. Keep it up!

Like you I wasn’t a fan of the ES 335 (or so I thought) but the look of the raspberry tea figured Epi es335 (2022 model) looked just too good. I had it for some time and commented everywhere that while it was superbly made I couldn’t find the sound I liked. Then after a while I played with the setup. Adjusted the pick up height etc. And found the sweet spot. It’s phenomenal. One of my favs of around 25 guitars. And it really feels a quality guitar.

I am fortunate and/or stupid enough to own a number of Epiphones and Gibsons. I love a 335 style guitar and the Epis are just as much fun as the Gibsons, if not more enjoyable as they cost less. I recently picked up a new Epi Noel Gallagher Riviera and it's just fantastic. The artist endorsement helps remind me that I am playing an actual real worthy guitar and not a lesser budget brand, so much more bang for the buck than a Gibson. Love the videos, keep 'em coming.

Wow, a full hour of content. You're making my Fridays even better than before. I'm sure you're correct that the problem with that pot was a wiring issue, probably corrected when you moved the pickup wires, so if it starts acting up again you should be able to fix it just by remelting the connections. That's a beautiful guitar. I like my pre inspired by Gibson 335 very much, but I'm still kind of envious of that one. Nothing wrong with the SG and amp either. The brand also matters to me. It just makes a difference to me that my 335 comes from the Gibson company even if it doesn't say it on the headstock. Lastly, I believe Wilkinson makes all of Epiphone's vintage style tuners, so the only difference should be the name stamped on them. Thanks as always for the video.

My Grestch sem-hollow that I bought used from them in January developed a switch fault and had a dodgy master volume pot.

Colin, if youve ever worked on motorcycles you might have encountered the cable lubing tool that clamps over the cable end and the other side adapts to the red straw that comes with spray cans of the various lubes (speedo, brakes, shifter, clutch cable grease and so forth.) There is in fact such a very similar doo-dad for pots to lube/clean them in situ. The one end slides over the the pot shaft and self seals against the threads, the other end accomodates the red straw from the DeOxit spray can. It forces cleaner down the gap between the pot bushing and the shaft. Granted it sounds more like that bridge volume pot is actually dodgy but you never know what a shot of contact cleaner might accomplish

The logo/name on the headstock does indeed carry weight. That's just how it is. I love Squier guitars especially the ones with the thinner bodies and slimmer necks. My favorite guitar is a Squier strat partscaster I knitted together using a Bullet loaded body, Classic Vibe neck, Fender vintage tuners and a Fender ultra string tree. The Squier is on a stand next to my Fender Standard strat. The Fender gets noticed right away whereas my favorite guitar the Squier that's made from 100 percent FMIC sourced parts is overlooked.

The Indian laurel board look better than I thought when I got mine 2 years ago. It's dark now on parts where I play the most, it's kinda personalized now. I changed the bridge to Gotoh zinc only because I don't like the wire Epiphone's has. But there's really nothing wrong with it. I'll probably change it to a gotoh locking tuner at some point. If anyone is going to buy this, make sure you visit a tech to have this fully setup. I know to do this but not every one can and that's okay. Make sure they do full setup from fret levelling to nut filing. Not kidding, it plays the same as my buddies' US guitar (I setup that too so that's obvious, they got same care). But yes, the fret ends of this guitar is so good out of the factory, it's hammered down properly so you won't notice frets popping out.

I REALLY ENJOY your presentation on everything you do. I find watching your videos are a great barometer to tell me how chilled out I am. You’re certainly not Steve Vai making me feel inadequate as a player are you! Lofl as friends do. You make me feel like a friend in his or my basement showing me a new guitar. By the end of your videos by watching your hands and listening I will hear everything the tone/volume pots do clean and dirty, if there’s an issue with the nut, bridge, tuners etc you’ll tell me. If you don’t go into detail about a particular piece I feel that I can safely assume that part is in proper working order and feels good. I prefer your opinion more than most actually. I happen to own a 33 piece Epi collection with some great Squires and other brands too but nothing bought because of the status presumption that comes with it and I have many friends that won’t pick up an Epiphone or a Squire because it’s an Epi or a Squire and it could possibly be the coolest guitar they’ve ever played, heck they don’t know. The next thing you know I get a call (I just got another yesterday) of a brand snob that has an important gig or session and they want to borrow my Epi or Squire. I have some very, very nice ones. I actually own this 335 in Rasberry Tea burst and it’s currently my favorite through my Hot Rod Deluxe and my Marshall JCM 2000 DSL40 with 5 good pedals bul no KLON or anything like that. I love what you do… keep it up and I’ll see you next week RickDaBassPlaya

Colin. The Epiphone pickups likely plug into the volume pots, either with three or four conductor quick connect plugs if push pull. That’s what the big access is for, to pass the connectors through. When I first saw in previous video I thought the plug isn’t seated fully into the socket on the pot. Just needs a push with a little screwdriver through F hole to seat it. Hope you sort it. Cheers.

Interesting turn of events! If it wasn't simply some dirt in the pot, then I wonder if perhaps a stray strand of the braided wire from the pickup was barely touching the pot at times causing a short? When you took out the pups and pulled on the pickup wires, you may have pulled it away from the pot far enough to prevent the short.

Great job, love the longer content format! I watch every minute, of every one of your videos, usually twice! I'll also extend my viewing of your videos by watching them in pieces, over a period of two or three days, so more content is great for me. Do you typically use a lot of "Drive" from your Rat and Soul Food pedals? My main amp is a Marshall 800, so I use all my OD pedals as clean boosts only, with the "Drive" on 0, and "Level" to taste. So, there's no additional "Drive" from the pedal, just boosting the already overdriven signal from the amp. This is the best way to use OD pedals with a Marshall, imo, or any already overdriven amp really,.... which a Marshall 800 circuit certainly is. Looking forward to next week Colin!

Glad to see you finally got one you liked. I have the '61 SG, the 50's Les Paul and the Riviera - ALL great. Epiphone are killing it right now. I'm going to the shop next week to look at a 335. Just look mind you :) :) :)

Famous last words 😂 My Inverness Green 335 was the result of “just having a look.” 😂 I actually went in to look at a 339, but when I pulled the 335 off the wall my wife says “Ooh, that’s a pretty one!” which I of course took as blanket permission 😂😂. It didn’t help that it played really amazing. I didn’t buy it right away, but it burned a hole in my brain for weeks, finally I had to get it. So glad I did, I just love it. I’m a guy that loves to mod guitars, I have no desire to change a thing apart from the knobs. Had to put reflectors on.

In case you hadn't thought of it, it may be an idea to give the neck pickup pots and switch a quick squirt with contact cleaner.

Hi, I am around your age and I still have this ridiculous craving for buying gear. I have done it all of my life. I work on all of amps and guitars myself. It's funny, I have every expensive guitar by Gibson and Fender and top of the line amps and yet I am a half arsed guitar player. Everything I play is pretty much rubbish but I enjoy doing it. There's something about your accent that is always mesmerizing . It's like listening to ASMR. There's just something about the way you do your videos that captivates me like Lyle Caldwell from Psionic Audio on KZfaq. I could watch you guys for hours. I definitely must have something wrong with me to sit for a few hours and watch guitar porn. Your videos in other words are fantastic and entertaining and informative. Keep up the videos cheers mate from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada Michel Newell

From your description it would seem Epiphone is going away from their D shaped neck which I don't care for at all. This seems like a great guitar for what it is. Nice weight, tone, playability and looks with a decent price. Thanks for the in depth review.

Col I like the new format - it was interesting how you recommended a song and player and then you improvised on the lick. Very nice! I checked it out - great tune great player! Also a bit about pedals then amps and not just the guitars. Personally I am a big fan of your ‘story telling’ lead style and your stuff downstairs reminded me a lot of Robby Krieger another SG fan and a big time storytelling guitarist. As I say I like the evolution of the show and like other people an hour plus makes it more of an event and something to look forward to! Keep it up!!

A lot of people are going to say lay off the sauce, Colin, before you diagnose wiring problems, but I'm not one of them. You just keep tipping them back and getting your discounts. I was playing this exact 335 as i was watching this, and i will never get rid of it, i love it so much. Like i said, it's Alex Lifeson in a bottle. I like the subplot diversion section with the SG. Please do more. I really want to see those happy surprises when you root around in the back of your subterranean lair and pair up guitars and amps that you even forgot you had. Via con Dios.

Aloha and Mahalo Colin! In 2021 I played an 2019 Epiphone Cherry 335 and Sunburst 330. I didn't care for the 335 heavy and dead sounding. 330 I liked. Only played both acoustically

My new (Dec 2022) PRS Studio developed a weird grounding issue. Touch the bridge pup cover with your hand and it'd make crazy noise. I took the control cavity cover off. Gently moved a few wires around to look for any loose wires and the problem went away. Been fine for several weeks now.

Wiring on the bridge pickup shorting across two lugs on the pot ,possibly the outer earth sheathing when you moved the pickup it’s come away from the other lug ..I had a similar problem with a Vintage brand version of the 335 .least it’s sorted with no major problem to fix it .win win 😂

“Kids, Going out is overrated”. Love it 🤣. I totally agree. Cheers Colin. And your playing through that 4x10 DeVille…… some tasty vibe-y stuff over that loop! At times you reminded me of early Santana.

Lots of my favorite KZfaqrs having been doing 335s this week. I don't have one, I feel left out. It's Friday and Colin's doing one. If Chris Buck and Eric Haugen do one today, I'll have no choice but to go out and buy one.
