ES 335 questions



When I got it last week it was strung with 0.11 roundwounds and I have left
it like that. Tone is great and I don't see any urgent reason to change to
flatwounds, though I always play 0.12 flatwounds on my other archtops. I
find the guitar remarkably comfortable to play.

For the ES 335 players, what string gauge do you use generally? Would a
flatwound set be more suitable? Like I said the tone is gret now.

Why did they put the input jack on the top instead of the side of the ES
335?

By the way, the neck accessibility of this guitar seems huge! Upper access
is awesome.

TIA
