Yeah, before this new 335, the only Epiphone that did anything for me was that very same guitar. Those P90s sound awesome (I have a pair in my Furrian). I seriously considered buying one, but I wanted to hold out for a full-size semi-hollow. Unfortunately, everything else Epiphone had to offer in the arch-top department just made me yawn.aullucci wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 9:28 am I ended up with a Gretsch at the end of my semi-hollow quest, but I always preferred the Ibbys to the Epis while I was shopping. The only Epi I really liked was the 339 pro with the P90s. I agree that the Ibby necks are super comfortable and all the semi-hollows seem really well made. My uncle had an AS-73 (maybe 75?) that he sold for like $200 to some stranger on Facebook without telling me. I remain angry at him for that.
Which Gretsch do you have? I was feeling the pull of the 5622T pretty hard when I was looking for an alternative to the 335 (and I'm still feeling it ). I really like the sound of the Broadtron pickups (from what I've heard in YouTube videos, anyway), and it looks beautiful, but that would clock in at over $800 after taxes, which was about $200 more than I wanted to spend. The fact that it had been out of stock for as long as I could remember (and still is) made the decision to go with the Ibanez a little easier.
