I can't comment on the 335, having never played one. I own an SG andam planning to buy a Les Paul, but I'd go for the SG first. High bends (20/21/22nd fret) are easier as it's a double cutaway. [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]


It's up to personal taste though - they're both legendary guitars !

it depends on what style you're playing and what tone you're going for... each of the three guitars have a different sound in my opinion...

personally, i don't like the sg. i agree that it's notworth the price.the 335 has much richer tone, les paul - can't go wrong.

I've been playing a Gibson ES-135 for years. They're wonderful. I tried a 335 for a while but just felt better with a 135. Plus you'll have a better time of making your own tone instead of playing (or being caught in) the Paul or SG sound.


just the take of a newbie.
