Unfortunately my old Gibson Es 335 Dot Ebony from 2009 retired after many headstock repairs and countless touring & playing torture! I saw the Custom Colour Series 335 in Watermelon finish, and asked directly for a lightweight version of it! Olly from Thomann Custom Guitars found me one for 3.5 kg and that was the end of the story in 5 minutes.....what to say its Gibson! best of the best, killing C rounded neck, dream finish, interesting new thing for me are the T-Calibrated Humbuckers with the Custom Tone Circuit, something new for me but it will be fun to explore it, and the most important thing its LIGHTWEIGHT! THX Thomann and Olly for amazing customer support, fast communication and secure delivery. CHEERS
