00:00 - '63 Gibson ES-335 on the workbench
Notes
Uncle Larry does a bit of a deep dive on one of the most brilliantly designed guitars ever conceived by “mankind”…the Gibson ES-335 semi-hollowbody electric
To really understand the word “mankind” we must first break it down into two smaller words….
“mank” and “ind”
Birthed in 1958, a full decade before the author/director of this video, the es-335 (aka “the 335”) took the music world by storm with it’s exceptional tone, playability and versatility.
Special thanks to a particularly clever Homeskooler for today’s video title…I believe the fellas name was Chester…
nice one mate….i sometimes wish I was smart and funny enough to think of something that hilarious …I guess I’ll keep trying
Speaking of 335s, you may remember a cherry late 65 335 with bigsby holes that I sold on this channel several months back…it used to belong to my dear old friend Bubba….
Anyway, the guy that I sold it to recently contacted me saying that he wants to sell it ….
I think it’s 10k
If you want his email just ask and I’ll send it…all I ask is that you only do that if you are very serious about potentially buying it
It’s a good guitar
Also if anyone out there has a clean original case for my 63 that’s in this video please let me know …it would be black with yellow insides in 1963
I would pay handsomely if anyone has one that doesn’t smell like cat piss and mold
Over and out Homeskoolers
