Just arrived today, 2002 Gibson CS-336...like a 335 but the size of an LP; semi-hollow.

They are nice, lightweight, narrow compared to an LP, and have exceptional tone to them. This is my 2nd one; I had a short run 2008 green one that was just too pretty to play! I ended up trading it for my Carol-Ann. This one, being older, will definitely get played.
This was the previous one

I think you made a good move IMHO...the sunburst is the biz... ....they are mad looking guitars,like a 335 that ended up in the tumble dryer a bit longer than it was supposed to... ..i would imagine the body is very comfortable to play due to it's slightly smaller size... |

Most definitely...more comfortable than the LP due to the thin body and lighter weight (even though my Standard Faded is chambered, it still gets heavy after a while...I'm a small guy. |

I was so reluctant to play the green one that I decided to trade or sell it. Gibson was no longer offering green 336s. When I spoke to them, they said they had done a very short run; that just convinced me that I was doing the right thing. I'm happy with the Carol-Ann, though I can't play it too loud...100 watts is loud at 1 on the knob. Alan Philips builds amazing stuff.
The 2002 336 is nice; the previous owner took good care of her; and I always like Vintage sunbursts. |
