        Hi – Just sharing my excitement at my latest guitar. I’ve never owned a Gibson before – this is a dream to play, I think I’m in love 🙂 Here’s a quick improv demo…..

          Congratulations, Gary, sounds great. I assume it’s a 335. I love the dot series vs the block inlays.

              Thanks John, yes it’s a 335. (Played through the Artist Gen 3 Katana by the way). 👍🏻
