New Lefty Day!

[sprint]

Epi "inspired by Gibson" ES335 (Poor man's 335). Bought used - played well in store, could not find a blemish nor any issues, nice frets / fret ends, good tuners / bridge - feels nice - not a Gibson, but a no brainer at 500$Cdn (aprx $370 US) with hardshell case. Sounds great acoustically + thru Axfx

Definitely a steal! Happy NGD

Hate to tell you, but all the controls are backwards, no wonder it was inexpensive.

Oh it be red for sure! - but not that red (bad photographer (or crappy Apple tech lol)) - Below are better pix. Never owned / played a SHB before - this thing sustains like crazy, and I love that its loud enough acoustically that I can hear it well when played unplugged - downside is that its loud acoustically, so when I play plugged in at my usual low volumes, the acoustic sound mixes a lot with the monitored sound - so I have to play at louder volume levels (or headphones) with this one to mitigate that. I'm quite happy with this as stop gap between now and when I'm willing / able to shell out for a highish tier SHB.

As a lefty I can only approve! Congrats nice guitar!

If they moved the controls to the middle behind the bridge and left off the pickguard it it could be strung either for a righty or a lefty and look the same.

Almost - the knobs would still turn backwards and the nut slots wouldn't work.

This Its not great tho (falls over too easy) - I'd suggest something wider - like this
