I own a 1968 Gibson 335. I have had it since 1980. It is a great orange
label pre corporate take over Gibson guitar. As a semi pro musician, I will
say that as far as using it for gigs....It does not hold a candle to my 1998
Gibson Lucille. When I bought the Lucille on e-Bay about 6 months ago, I was
nervous. Fellow Slowhander Waxahachie Tom told me I would not be
disappointed as he owns a red one like mine and said it was his numero uno
and I have been to Tom's and played some very fine guitars of his to boot.
By far of the 20+ guitars I own this one ranks right at the top.

P.S. I am thinking about selling my 68 if you know anybody serious about
wanting a Vintage collector's guitar.
