Thank you Bato and Olaf!
You both are just too kind.
Actually, as nice as that particular ES 335 is, it belongs to the other guitar player in our band. I had Stephen Mesplé, owner of Wildwood Guitars, hand select it for him. It is
a stellar sounding, playing, and feeling guitar for sure.
My semi-solid is this one.
As Olaf already knows, it is a CS-356F-59, and the first blonde one made. It rarely sees live action these days as we are not doing the work that this guitar would allow me to do my best at. Also, our band insists that I play the LP.
While I have owned way too many guitars, I am down to these two at present due to helping my wife start up her business, and these are really most all that I really need to accomplish what is asked of me at present.
Stephen
