Got my 335 out today. Haven’t played it in 6 or 7 years but dang it brought back memories of just how dang great it sounded when I use to play out. Strings on it haven’t been changed on it since I last played it. It was still close in tune so I tuned it up and it plays and sounds heavenly with 7 yr old strings. It was like seeing an old friend I haven’t seen in ages. I just noticed that one of the tone control knobs is missing. I've had this guitar around 34 years.

Very nice!
A good 335 is one of those 'perfect' guitars, and I think it's one of the prettiest designs ever.

How could you leave that beauty alone all that time? Looks magnificent. What year is it?
Beautiful man. I just recently built a 335, first one I've ever owned, and I love it. It's a very versatile guitar for sure! What's the year of yours?

My thoughts exactly!Great pic, thanks!
When I read the subject I had a feeling that your post would be about needing another '335 to keep this first one company.. ahh, never mind

It's bad the way we leave loved guitars in the case for years at a time. I'm bad about it that's for sure.
Glad you and the ES-335 got reacquainted with each other. Now find a knob and play it some more.
I've got an ES-330TDC purchased new in 1966, we've been together for a long time.

Beautiful. Looks like a mid to late 80s with the Tim Shaw PAF humbuckers in it.
