Epiphone ES-335 pro

This started out as an Epiphone ES-335 Pro, with coil-tapped humbuckers (weird for and ES-335, right?)

I made a lot of changes to it:

- StewMac golden age alnico-II humbuckers. I think these pickups are great PAF clones and short money compared to all the boutique hand-wound nonsense out there

- All new electronics - CTS pots, Switchcraft switch & jack, Sprague orange drop capacitors

- B6 Bigsby with Towner bar where the tailpiece used to go. This is by far the best approach to adding a Bigsby to one of these - requires no drilling or modification, provides great tuning stability, you can adjust the string break angle over the bridge . . . all around genius

- Tusq nut

- Schaller tuners

Great sounding and playing guitar. Probably about $700 out of pocket including all the mods.
