Beautiful spectral spirits in the room conjured in the purity of an excellent flow.
God we all love the times when this power overtakes and we go through years of psychotherapy and venting of the black collection, in minutes. We’ll done Leon, brother. Getting these types of ones, is rare.

Yes, Your Blueness!!! Feels like you're tearing your soul inside out, Sensitive ways...

[peterharvin]

Perfect menage a trois: you, that Gibson and the blues

[bryantwalley]

You was channeling some serious old Gary Moore feel with that into. Very nice. Nice guitar also.

I have a '70 Walnut 335. The only guitar I have (that I know of) from my birth year. It has the trapeze tailpiece and the stock Kluson tuners... but otherwise, it looks identical to this one. Great guitar!

[garyheller]

Great to see you on this guitar. I have (only) eleven guitars, and some very good ones among those, but when I pick up my '69 ES-345, just like you, it elicits a whole new expression from me. Nicely played Leon!

[EshockT]

I have a 73 in Walnut and put stainless steel medium jumbos on it so that it can be a player. Still my number one.

[wolfsdenmusic]

Starts off with a nice slow burn and just a touch of B.B., then you get possessed by I don't know who and just ignite. :) That tone is so thick and chewy goodness!

[jcoulter]

Sweet, sweet tones! You have such a great touch and feel and never over play. I have an '82 335 Heritage Cherry with Tim Shaw's. Sounds very similar to yours. Fantastic stuff as usual Leon. God bless and rock on 👍🎸😎

[larrydering]

Man that was so sweet and awesome. Blues like it should sound. You have the soul and the chops to bring it out front. Gorgeous.

[angryjoegaming]

Any guitar can sound great with a master of their craft like you playing it.

Leon, my dad had one of these from the 70's but the marker on the headstock was different, it had the 4 triangular things on it and the fret markers were more like trapezoids than blocks or squares.

[hoosierdaddy]

Very cool. Is it a 335?
It's like me, old but catnip to the ladies. 😂😂😂😂.
Great playing man as always. You are the most well rounded player dude. 🤘🤘♥️♥️
Happy Sunday brother. I'm off with my lady this afternoon for relaxing and inward introspection. ♥️🤘♥️
Be safe brother and peace be with you my friend. 🤘♥️🤘♥️🤘

My Hondo 335 copy isn’t as auspicious as that Gibson but it’s certainly my go to guitar for that humbucker tone.

[chazjr]

THAT was magic! Leon... can you make a 9 hour loop of that, so I can listen to it while at work? 😁 Awesome playing, great tone! and fantastic guitar!

[Superjet]

The guitar, the playing, and the song made my morning! Thank you Leon!

[blackmanx]

Final nail in the coffin... 335 WILL BE my next guitar to be had. Thanks for sharing, Leon!

[j.boogie]

As always you nailed it, just awesome from beginning to end !!!

[dazzyB]

Leon, the tone from guitar was stunning but also from the hands. You have channelled some of the greatest blues maestros for this track. Truly stunning 😎

[MaxCarton]

Fantastic sounding guitar! I have a 1970 sunbust 335 also stoptail converted. I wonder if this guitar isn’t a 71 since in 72 all guitars had the gibson logo on the pickups. Anyways it sure is a fine example. Cheers
