Re: ES-335's - Gibson's version of a Strat

Personally, I don't like the sound of a strat. I do like the quack
position, but beyond that I just don't care for the sound. Of course
there's a bazillion different models to choose from these days, so the
word "strat" can mean a lot of different sounds, so maybe there is one
out there I would dig.
