Can You Still Score An AFFORDABLE Vintage ES-335?

Here is the story of how I came across this old 335 for CHEAP. Now, cheap is relative, but this era of 335s is still fairly affordable even for really clean specimens, and the big thing is: they’re consistently good sounding and feeling guitars. I’ve had several in my hands, and there was not a bad sounding guitar in the bunch. There are a few things to know about these guitars as well. They do need at least one mod to sound their best, which I discuss in the video. I know it’s not a golden era guitar, but as far as bang for the buck is concerned, these guitars DELIVER. Can a deal like mine still be found?

I have started filming courses. Stay tuned!
