Members Cokeman Posted April 26, 2005 Members Share Posted April 26, 2005 I know. Here we go again. I have been looking at all of the 335 clones on ebay. What have you tried and liked? Which ones are not worth looking at? These are the ones that I have been looking at. Clones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hookstrapped Posted April 27, 2005 Members Share Posted April 27, 2005 I just got an Ibanez AS-80 on ebay.

Members DanRoy Posted April 27, 2005 Members Share Posted April 27, 2005 the new epiphone dot studios, the candy colored ones: crap, absolutely terrible...just dead. I played 3 or 4, all the same. could just be pickups though. oscar schmidt bluesman: owned this for a few months...depressing! I put really expensive pickups in it and it just had a "dry" sound that's in the wood. regular epiphone dot: owned it for a while, sounded great, but i sold it anyway, didn't like the neck at the time, now I don't think i'd mind (it's sort of wide and a bit thin) hamer echotone: best looking of the clones, for the accurate look anyway. I played a couple and they sounded fine agile AS-820: i want one....bad. i love the cosmetics. also basically the same construction as the Fender Starcaster, a dream guitar of mine (maple/maple/maple). haven't played it, I'd probably change pickups, but I don't like a lot of humbuckers, they are probably fine enough.

Members Cokeman Posted April 27, 2005 Author Members Share Posted April 27, 2005 How much are those? Are they hollow or semi hollow? I like both?

These are very nice guitars. Also very versatile. I usually use this one for rhythm and acoustic/electric tones but the neck position is great for leads too. Here's a little snipit of a song I'm working on. The acoustic and leads were done with the AS-820. Forget about the drums, they are just to set a beat and will be changed later to fit the song.http://www.digitalsoundplanet.com/Members/000146185_000010909_proj.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad I don't have the money right now. I used to have an ES-330TD and miss it badly. It was completely hollow with P90s and sounded awesome. The AS-820 with P90s is really looking good to me right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Headlow Posted April 27, 2005 Members Share Posted April 27, 2005 I love my Epi Dot. It's well on the way to replacing my Tele as the guitar I reach for automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nothingstock Posted April 27, 2005 Members Share Posted April 27, 2005 I have a new, MIC Hamer Echotone and it is a very nice piece. The neck is great and it sounds the way a 335 should. At under $300 with the case, it was well worth it. One of my high school students just got an Aslin Dane 335 and it seems very nice, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure do like mine. I really don't know much about mine, or how old it is (it's at least 10 years old) and it has the Hohner on the headstock like this H o h n e r Between the tuners instead of how they currently are. Any ideas?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rgrabows Posted April 27, 2005 Members Share Posted April 27, 2005 I have the Tokai ES-60 335 copy - it is an excellent guitar....however I cannot compare it to the others. I also have an Aria FA-80...so I can also give Aria extremely high marks....I think they are tremendously under-rated. My Aria is probably my favourite guitar.

Done. hopefuly they can shed some light on the history of this fine axe. btw, how old is yours and how is the logo positioned on yours? Do you know where the s/n or other info should be?

Members Mister Crow Posted April 27, 2005 Members Share Posted April 27, 2005 I just bought a Dillion DSE 533 Deluxe on Monday for $300 used at a local store. New I think they go for around $500. It's the best looking, playing, sounding, and feeling lower priced 335 knock-off I've ever played. I really,really like this guitar. My semi-hollow gas has been solved. Wait, I take that back- I still want the Agile semi-hollow with P-90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My headstock has "Hohner" in sort of script across the top of the headstock with a little pineapple-fleur-de-lis in MOP in the middle: The serial number in mine is on an oval red sticker inside the body directly below the upper f-hole. I bought mine used, and don't know its age. Keep me posted on Hohner's reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
