At long last 'part two' of the series where I present alternatives to the ubiquitous es-335. This time we include original reissues from Gretsch, Hofner, Guild, and Fender... will any of these beauties tempt you away from the everyman choice??

I AM NOT AN EXPERT. Some things I do know and some things I don't know but think I know and sometimes I say things that are not entirely correct. Once I have said things it's too late to correct them so please check any 'so called facts' with an adult, google, wikipedia, or someone else that knows.
