It feels that Gibson could have done better with ES-335 Dot Limited Run, but still, this is a useful musical instrument. You should really give ES-335 Dot Limited Run a chance if you feel that this is a right instrument for you in this moment in time.

Gibson could throw in a bit more features into ES-335 Dot Limited Run but this guitar is definitely a usable musical instrument. Whether it's the price cut, or Gibson felt that simplicity is a good way to go, ES-335 Dot Limited Run is built with a limited set of features, so one needs see if it fits the need. Not the best equipped instrument, but ES-335 Dot Limited Run will do well for some musicians.

If you try playing ES-335 Dot Limited Run after an average guitar, it becomes obvious that this Gibson deserves to be proud of making it sound so beautifully. It delivers great tone when plugged in to most amps and, versatile as it is, it will allow you to find your own tone that you will be proud of as well. Gibson's ES-335 Dot Limited Run is surely a world class sounding instrument.

You could find a better fitted guitar, but ES-335 Dot Limited Run is ready to be played by any musician willing to take time and adjust it to his/her needs. Gibson built a guitar that has nice finish but it lacks something that would make it feel even better. Guitar stays in tune reasonably well, if you don't force it too much, and the ES-335 Dot Limited Run's neck is playable.

If you're happy with Gibson's ES-335 Dot Limited Run overall performance and characteristics, you can consider it to be a replacement guitar for your gigs. Even if used as only guitar ES-335 Dot Limited Run will perform, but don't overrate it and always try and find a backup. It is a solid guitar that will last long and perform well if you treat it right.
