I have a 1989 Gibson 335 Studio that is one of my go-to guitars and which has seen many many gigs. My guitar has a big chunky neck and two dirty finger pickups. The guitar can produce a wide variety of sounds, given the use of the standard 335 tone selection method (volume and tone control for each pickup and three position switch). It has an access panel on the rear for access to the pots and switch which makes cleaning pots and making repairs very easy. This guitar is well constructed and has stood up to trying conditions without a whimper! I LOVE this guitar and am so happy we found each other!
