Right size

[marshal]

Just picked up a 1981 Gibson es 347, now this is the right size. Feels and sounds great.

Does anyone else own one and what are your thoughts?

I have never even heard of that model. Tell us more about it.

Those are GREAT guitars. Very cool. I almost fell for a black one about 10 years ago - a really well-done Gibson semi. They haven't hit the crazy price range yet, so still a decent score if you find one.

Always been my favorite Gibby semi-hollow. Makes a 335 look pedestrian appointments-wise. Very classy looking guitar. Been around since the mid-late 70s at least.

That is like the one I have but mine is tobacco burst, I put a reg 335 tailpiece on and kept the tp6 on the side. Mine looks like a brass nut. I do not know what pups are in it, they are original but man are they hot. they sound great. I just put a new set of strings on her and cleaned her up a bit. Mine is an 1981.

Those came stock with a brass nut - at least from @ 78-81 or so.

I think the next guitar I will scout up is the heritage h575, I hear alot of good reviews on them also. I have been bitten by the guitar bug.
