Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

Re: Anybody like sunburst? I seem to.
It is an ES-330L, from around 2010 or so. They later made an ES-330L which had hum buckers and looked just like an ES-335, but it was fully hollow underneath.
The only one of them that I picked for being sunburst was the Firebird, and I wish I would have picked black or something. The rest of them I just got because the price was right, or it was a trade, or whatever. I never really want sunburst for the sake of sunburst. Weird that I ended up with so much of it.

Re: Anybody like sunburst? I seem to.
They are all very nice. I like sunbursts, my first bass was a Sears sunburst jazz bass ripoff.
I don’t have any actual sunbursts, but my oldest bass and a guitar are marine sunburst (Ibanez).
The rest of my guitars & basses are either (somewhat age-yellowed) polar white, honey yellow bird’s eye or natural. Not sure why natural, maybe something subconscious because my 2nd bass was a natural Peavey T-40? Who knows.
Is that 335 an actual sunburst? It almost looks like a cross between a tobacco burst and a lemon burst in those pics - it seems a bit lighter than the others.

It's a boost booster, to boost your boost - it makes your tone much muchier.

Re: Anybody like sunburst? I seem to.
Those are all great-looking guitars. I'm down to just a single sunburst, don't particularly know why. I don't actually have anything against them, I just seem to gravitate toward other colours I guess.

I didn’t, until I saw my Yamaha SA-30T in the store!

Re: Anybody like sunburst? I seem to.
Am I wrong to think Gibson does sunburst better than Fender? Fender sunbursts are all over the place, Gibson's always seem to have that nice yellow in the middle. I think I've had three sunburst Fenders over the years, and each looked very different, with my current Classic Player Jazzmaster on the very dark end of the scale.

Re: Anybody like sunburst? I seem to.
You may be right- you could also say that the G&L Legacy there is more of a "clown burst", also. Maybe I should have called this just about bursts.somanytoys wrote: ↑Thu Jul 02, 2020 4:14 pm

Re: Anybody like sunburst? I seem to.
Thanks, it just got a lot of upgrades, new low wind P90s courtesy of Mike's recommended pickup winder Pete Biloft. Also an Ilitch noise cancelling system and the Duesenberg tailpiece there.
Still giving it a workout and setup and all.
