And now, jumping on the NGD bandwagon!
« on: April 01, 2009, 07:39:10 PM »
Is my new ES-339!





Apologies for the iPhone quality pictures, my camera is out of batteries!

Its a very big day for me, because this is the first guitar i've bought over £400, and i am totally stoked! I know I'm in honeymood period, but this thing is awesome. Its light, resonant, and the neck is sooo comfortable.

That looks really nice. I'm GASing for a 335, but these 339's seem like a good option.

Maybe not that caramel burst one! You enjoying yours Phil?

Rock pig. The stockies are lovely, bright at the bridge and smooth at the neck!

Viking. This is the 50s neck, I tried a les Paul to get the feel of the 60s one, but it was too thin.

Played almost all yesterday, I'm an official semi hollow convert!

Lovin' it!  I've played it every day since I bought it (maybe only a few minutes at a time though, I haven't started actually practicing or anything!! :P ).

On the subject of the neck, the alternative shape is the 30/60, which is supposed to be three-one-hundredths of an inch thicker than the usual '60s shape, so it feels a little bigger.  From my experience Gibson don't seem to build neck shapes that consistently, so I'm a bit dubious, but I'd like to try one.  :lol:

The '50s neck feels bigger than the "same" neck shape I've had on a couple of LPs in the past, but I really like it!
