not something id have much use for but that is pretty sexy. marty always seemed cool
 
I'd be looking at a nice used Edwards for the factory Seymour pickups at that price but I'm sure that's a sweet guitar.
 
Alex Lifeson on the first Rush album. The solo on "Working Man". That's why I want a 335 style guitar.

A famous YouTube guitar teacher/influencer. He's got about 4 million subscribers on one of his channels. Maybe the most popular/famous of all the guitar teachers/influencers on YT? Seems like a cool dude that has been doing that for a long time.
 
But can you deal with the STIGMA of having that epi headstock instead of the Gibson, "open book" headstock????? I can't handle the judgement i'll get. people will know that i'm just a peasant who can't afford a real Gibson. ???

Open book vs Mustache. At least it’s not the clipped corner style headstock.

as much as i hate this headstock on the LP/SG's i actually think it looks good on this guitar.
 
So long as it's a PHH (Post hideous headstock) I'm fine with it.
 
Love my figured ES 335. Every Epi I picked up, included the Joe B model, sucked.

The horror…… Can you imagine how deep and infinite the shame spiral would be after being spotted playing an epi? Dear god….
 
I had a Epi 335 pro for a while. It had the longer headstock. I was ok with the look. It played nice but plastic nut and junk electronic components. I just offloaded it. I like the Sheraton better except for the canoe paddle headstock. The five piece neck=win. The neck dive=fail. The worthwhile solution is the Bigsby but $$$. The newer Emily Wolfe models have a normal headstock but no five piece neck and a missing tone knob, doh!

I would look at Edwards or Seventy Seven guitars. The seventy seven exrubato model is the semi hollow. Better factory electrics in a f-hole guitar from the get go is is worth the few extra bucks to me cause of the wiring hassles. The Edwards got the Duncans factory., pretty nice. And both of those brands have an open book headstock if it matters. The downside is probably having to order from Japan. Worth it if you can get it through a dealer like Ishibashi or one of the other larger shops who ship internationally often.
