Gibson 335 tribute

I think this is probably the last of my tribute range of fakes. I got a very decent copy cheap through the classifieds and reworked a lot of stuff to get a reasonable 335 Dot. I replaced the wiring, pots, knobs, tuners etc. Gave it a thorough set-up, a P94 pup at the neck and a Gibson "Dirty Fingers" humbucker at the bridge.

I like it so much, I might just buy a real 335 one day.

I am still learning the blues and drifting towards the BB King style, probably because I listen to so much of his work. I love his deceptive simplicity and economy of moves.

The audio sample is improvised to a generic backing track - not a karaoke track as discussed in my other thread. If you have been following my progress, I would be interested in your feedback.

Very nice playing Simon, tasteful. Great looking 335 too!

Thanks, I really need some input because without a band, gigs and or audience, I haven't got much of a clue about how I sound, though I must admit that I'm beginning to enjoy listening to myself a bit more.

Cool! Really cool, Simon!

Personally never digged those thick picks, but you handle it very sensible, releasing a nice smooth note.

( Can´t tell about progress, unfortunately / havn´t heard stuff before.)
Rock on! :O)
