EThe Gibson 335 Guitar BookE tells the story of Gibson's ES-335 and
related models as played by B.B. King Alvin Lee and Eric Clapton
among other virtuosos. It's full of great guitars cool players and
fascinating historical detail. The book traces the story from
Gibson's first thinline models to the company's signature
instruments and modern re-creations of today.THThe book is in the
tradition of Tony Bacon's bestselling guitar series with a
carefully researched story a gallery section of full-color pictures
of the most important guitars and players and a reference section
detailing production years and specifications.THThe 335 was
launched in 1958. It had a double-cutaway body but the interesting
features were hidden inside. A solid block in an otherwise hollow
body created a new semi-solid structure cleverly combining the
sonic qualities of a hollowbody guitar and a solidbody. Variants
included the stereo 345 and the upscale 355 and players have lined
up ever since for a taste of these attractively different
flavors.THSome of those players featured in the book include Larry
Carlton Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) Peter Hayes (Black Rebel
Motorcycle Club) Justin Hayward (Moody Blues) Eric Clapton Pepper
Keenan (Down) B.B. King Elvin Bishop (Butterfield Blues Band) Alvin
Lee (Ten Years After) Alex Lifeson (Rush) Eddie Phillips (the
Creation) Johnny Marr (the Smiths) Lee Ritenour Andy Summers (the
Police) Bill Nelson (Be-Bop Deluxe) and Andrew White (Kaiser
Chiefs).
