Members Steve Howe Posted December 23, 2006 Members Share Posted December 23, 2006 As in can I throw in a little distortion and completely rip on one? Or will the feedbacking kill me? Not to much dirt, just enough from maybe the first Rage album. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe a Les Pail as seen on one of the more recent issues of Guitar World but I could be wrong. They just look so fun to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stratmaster48 Posted December 23, 2006 Members Share Posted December 23, 2006 Originally posted by Steve Howe So feedback isn't that big of a deal? not really. with REALLY heavy distortion, it will feedback significantly more than a solid body, but its still not that bad.

Members bluehuricane Posted December 23, 2006 Members Share Posted December 23, 2006 i know a white falcon isn't the same thing, but rob zombie's guitarist uses one with a {censored}load of distortion, i'm assuming you could do the same with a 335 as long as it was good distortion and you eq'd it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mumford Posted December 23, 2006 Members Share Posted December 23, 2006 At first, it can run away from you, but you learn how to play that guitar specifically. I used a 335 for 10 years playing heavy rock, you get used to it. Also the ability to feedback at will is really useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Non de Guerre Posted December 23, 2006 Members Share Posted December 23, 2006 Yes, they certainly can. What's important is that you aren't standing right on top of your amp on a tiny crowded stage, in which case you'll feed back with even mild overdrive. Worst case, get a cheap noise gate.

Members GIR unit Posted December 23, 2006 Members Share Posted December 23, 2006 Dave Grohls favorite guitar is a Trini Lopez and the last time I saw the Foos, Chris Shifflet was playing a 335 thru 2 Road King stacks without feedback problems.

Members jalfredprufrock Posted December 23, 2006 Members Share Posted December 23, 2006 Corgan used one on Bullet w/ Butterfly Wings. {censored}ty example, I know, but that should give you an idea re: heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tim gueguen Posted December 24, 2006 Members Share Posted December 24, 2006 Its funny seeing someone with a screen name of Steve Howe asking that when Howe did a lot of stuff with Yes in the '70s with an ES345, and a lot of stuff in the early '80s with Asia with ES Artists.

Members JimAnsell Posted December 24, 2006 Members Share Posted December 24, 2006 the day i bought my es-335, i took it to band practice with my metal band and played it through my 5150 on the lead channel for the whole practice. it sounded great! there was some feedback durring some of the tight stops, but nothing working the volume knob couldn't fix. i wouldn't use it on stage with them, and i didn't buy it for playing with them, but it sounded pretty damn good.

Members Bucketboy Posted December 24, 2006 Members Share Posted December 24, 2006 ES-335 is one of my all time favorite guitars...unfortunately, my credit limit isn't high enough to get one at guitar center... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1DZReverendDavidLee Posted December 24, 2006 Members Share Posted December 24, 2006 Originally posted by mumford Also the ability to feedback at will is really useful. And it's not that hard to tame once you spend some time with different pedal combinations. Don't forget -whatever amp you're using will determine the best pedals to use.The 335's are BIG, DEEP BOTTOM END punch in the face tone. And you don't want to mess with that too much -and pure nirvana overdrive can be had with just the 335 and the right amp - sometimes I just add a little bit of treble boost to bring the top end up even with the bottom - and that's all I need.The only bad thing about most of the big bodied guitars out there is that the combination of your own body heat, stage lights, and the club you're playing - can mean having to tune between every few songs due to the changing temperatures and humdity in some situations.But then some things are just worth the little extra effort. Everyone should play one at least once before they die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Non de Guerre Posted December 24, 2006 Members Share Posted December 24, 2006 I gigged/toured w/ 335 and 330 guitars for a while. The biggest thing I found was to change the nylon saddles to metal/graphite (older guitars) in terms of keeping thngs in tune/on the fretboard. Mine never really went out of tune much, provided I didn't knock the strings off the bridge (which happened every other song before changing the saddles.)

Members SirJackdeFuzz Posted December 24, 2006 Members Share Posted December 24, 2006 Originally posted by seifukusha doesnt tom have a 335 nowadays? Not to sure about the 335, as in a true Gibbo, but he does have a semi-hollow Ibanez Artist from the very early 80's ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SirJackdeFuzz Posted December 24, 2006 Members Share Posted December 24, 2006 OK, even though this is an old photograph, you can play this motha (retro fitted w. SD Phat Cats) into a maxed-out RAT (...or a maxed BD-2) into a Blues Jr at 100% vol. fith no problems at all !Just get far enough from the amp (atleast 8-10ft) and you will have ZERO feedback - promise Oh, and the tone !!!

Phil O'Keefe Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 One of my favorite solos of all time - on Steely Dan's Kid Charlemagne, was played (brilliantly, by Larry Carlton) on a 335 through a Boogie. IMO, it rahques pretty hard... I don't think a 335 would be my first choice for metal or super saturated rock tones, but they, like a good Casino, can work surprisingly well for rock. Yes, they'll be more feedback prone (due to the center block, not as much as a fully hollow guitar like a Casino), but once you learn how to adjust your playing technique a bit to control that, it can actually be a good and useful thing IMHO. Feedback can be your friend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SirJackdeFuzz Posted December 25, 2006 Members Share Posted December 25, 2006 FEEDBACK ? . . . WHAT BLOODY FEEDBACK ???THIS GUY LARFFS IN THE FACE OF FEEDBACK - and he doesn't even use flimsy semi-hollows !No sir, he use HUGE FULL-HOLLOW, GIBSON BYRDLANDS, with 4 FULLSTACK 5150's FOR HIS LIVE SHOWS !!! . . . THE FEEDBACK THAT YOU MIGHT GET WITH A 335 IS NOTHING, COMPARED TO THE FEEDBACK THAT UNCLE TED HAS TO COMBAT EVERY DAY !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
