Hello everyone,
My name is John and I've been playing the guitar for nearly 50 years. Just not very skillfully! I own an early model 535 which has the 3 switch VIP. Back in the 1990's I saw it hanging in a guitar shop in Smyrna, GA and for three years nobody bought it. Finally I offered the guy $400 for it and because he didn't know what it was, we made the deal. The shop had lost the case so he gave me a Gibson 335 case for it which has the pink satin interior.
My 535 is a special guitar. Everyone who plays it wants it. The renown Atlanta jazz guitarist, Bob Shaw offered to trade a Gibson 355 for it, but no way!
I'll stop bragging.
