Gibson Memphis 1958 ES-335 - Mick's Vlog: That Pedal Show

- Mick here - hello! We’ve had a lot of requests just recently to bring back ‘Our Guitars & Gear’, especially for my blonde ES-335. So here it is… albeit in vlog form. Ish.
• Gibson Memphis 1958 ES-335 from 2017
• Maple/poplar/maple laminate body with maple centre block
• Set mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, 12-inch radius
• Gibson Memphis MHS humbuckers (2017)
• Strung with Curt Mangan TPS Dan Here 11-52 strings. You can buy them in our store: bit.ly/2ND1IHY
If you’re confused about what pedals are on at any time, just look at the switch lights on G2 - if the RED light above the switch is lit, it’s on. (The other orange lights are all on - that means that loop is in stompbox mode I think).
In loop 10 is the Walrus Audio Fathom Reverb.
If you like the backing track, it’s also available on our store. I’ve called it Shuffle Kerfuffle and you can find it here: bit.ly/2MM89sR

"If you're going to own 4 guitars..." *proceeds to list 17 guitars. Man after my own heart. Love ya, Mick!
Get out of my head, Mick!
Listed many of the guitars I own........lol
Honey, that's not your 5th guitar is it? .....Oh, you mean this thing? No baby ummm, errr, I just scraped the paint off one of those.....
I've never heard anyone say "I really regret keeping this great guitar," conversely, I've heard people regret SELLING said guitar over and over. Smart choice.
GuitAural dont go there.... about to sell a wonderful guitar :-(
True, although I have heard people say they regret not being able to pay the rent.
@@robertmarkusfeld8140 lol....good point!
I actually sold my '61 335 Reissue because at the time I felt like I wasn't worthy of such a great guitar. Now I strongly regret selling it as the prices have skyrocketed since then and it was the best guitar I've ever owned
How to make a shite Tuesday better. A new unexpected blog from Mick! Coffee time!!
Strat and a 335 are perfect foils. Gets me through every kind of music i want to play
There is something positive to be said for journeying from our comfort zones every so often. We never know what good things we’ll discover there.
I love this type of video mick! Your thought process on guitar guitar/gear rabbit-hole is inspiring and interesting. Hope to see more like this in the future including an update in the strat journey!
Blonde Thinlines always appealed to me because I liked the look of John Lennon’s Epiphone Casino after he sanded off the original finish.
This is my favorite guitar of yours Mick. I am glad you finally made an episode like this to feature it. Thanks.
Beautiful guitar Mick! and it sounds amazing. Love seeing this series back (our guitars and gear).
This is the first video I watch on your channel. Thank you for your great effort and I wish you success in the channel. Best regards from Jordan❤️🇯🇴
i’ve already watched this video several times and can’t stop watching it. it’s a beautiful instrument
As a fellow strat player, I believe the 335 is the perfect counter guitar to a strat. Keep rockin!
Clapton proves you right. I'm not a big fan of him, but he uses both.
Me too. I’m a strat and 335 guy too.
Same thing here. I was always saying to myself "man I have to get a tele" then I realised that there's more point in buying a humbucker guitar. And what better choice than the best humbucker guitar ever. I have to say I love this thing to the point I've started thinking that I maybe not the fender guy I used to think
When the time comes for new pickups I VERY HIGHLY recommend a set of wolfetone Dr vintage PAF's. I've owned and played dozens of PAF style pickups, Duncan to bare knuckle, lollar to ox4, manlius to throbak...there's no shortage of fantastic pickups out there, but the Dr vintage set has yet to be knocked out out of my #1 guitar. They've got all the buzzwords you'd want, clear, articulate, dynamic, beautiful attack, and most importantly, that mid-range quack/honk that just nails the old school sound. I've been fortunate enough to play quite a few vintage Gibson's fitted with PAF's and while all old PAF's are different, there is a characteristic thread throughout and the wolfetones nail it. Wolfe is also a great guy to work with, customer service is second to none.
MrBingping yessir. Use the same ones. Feels like home :-)
Always enjoy your playing and feel inspired by your passion for guitar Mick! Thanks for another great VLOG.
Thank you Simon! Go play something awesome!
That guitar always sounds amazing when you're playing it! Also your playing while tracking sounds super pro and inspiring love these Mick vlogs!
Beautiful, Sir. The blues at the end had some great nuggets in it.
Thanks for putting this together..... great tones coming out of your ES335, as always...
Great video Mick. I love the insight as to what drives you to pick a particular guitar. I also love how honest you were about having to pass on a guitar due to the money not being there at the time. I feel this is something that all guitarists deal with at some point.
Also the jam at the end was excellent. This channel always makes me want to play, and also play better than I did yesterday.... Thanks for the video.
I've made no secret that the 335 is my favorite of your stable of fine guitars. It's great that it has its own origin story video at last.
My favourite of any TPS guitar. Love the way it looks, and I think Mick plays his best music on it. Laaaaaavly.
Thanks Harry!
Mick, it's drop-dead gorgeous. On my screen it's always looked pale gold; so I was very surprised to hear it's a blonde. Yeah, and your playing ... brilliant ...
Thank you Peter. It is kinda dark... the ones can be very brash yellow, but this one is warm looking for sure!
Thanks Mick for another fascinating, educating and informative glimpse into your soul. Lovely lovely playing too. Blissful man.
Glad you decided to keep it! Sounds great and sure must play great as well. Best Regards!
agree on the blonde preference... ;)
loved that non-stopping list of guitars u just gotta have... 👍🤘😁
Mick, I think you are such a fantastic player and what I appreciate (of many things but maybe most) is your organization and dedication to covering the important issues that help the lesser knowing of us to learn the takeaways of the show. You and Dan have a magical thing. Tx!
Thank you Joe, that’s very kind of you to say!
Glad to see this segment return, yall have some catching up to do!
Stellar stuff. Love the playing, Mick.
Loving the sweet tones you were getting from this beauty!
Didn't want this video to end! Love hearing you play!
Thanks Daniel!
Mick, I agree, there's something about the look of the blonde 335. Also your playing style is very suited to the sound of this guitar. Nice video!
Thank you Mick, my guitar friend. You’re an awesome awesome player and a great man. Today at rehearsal, I was pondering how great it is that you bring every so and so day, a video with amazing content that is very much appreciated by (semi-)pro players. It’s really incredible. All that wisdom. Being the source of knowledge. Think of it and enjoy it. You deserve it.
Thanks Tom. The best thing possible is that Dan and I are some form of inspiration for you to try something or find something that helps light the fire to play. There are many far more wise than us, but we share what we have willingly!
Mick. When I was a youngster in the late 70s. There was an ES-335 in the family coat closet. I snuck it out and played it. It was a very cool sunburst and I miss it. A few years later, I got my own Les Paul and off to Kramers and Fenders. One of these days in 2020, I want to have a Gibson ES-335 of my own. Such a great vlog and I am very pleased to see it.
Love the sound of this guitar!!
I've so been waiting for this episode... Love the 335.
Gorgeous finish. Sounds wicked too.
Wow! What an awesome jam at the end! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
the playing part starts at 3:35 Was this done on purpose?
Ha! No, total fluke. Awesome.
Illuminati confirmed.
Maybe starting at 19:58 would have given us longer to ogle the guitar..
@@ThatPedalShow "When someone asks you if you're a god ... you say YES!"
@@jamesoakes5696 So simple and, yet, so geniously said.
Love the format
It's a lovely guitar, and of all the ones you guys use on the show I think it's the one I'd like to own the most, closely followed by the DGT.
It's funny how outside influences can make you feel differently about an instrument despite the fact that the instrument itself hasn't changed at all, I'm glad you kept it.
Great playing, Mick!
Beautiful guitar, pedalboard and playing. Cheers!
I really love the playing at the end of the video. The slight crunch is awesome!
Thanks Chaz! The slight crunch is the dear old Klon. Blessed thing it is!
Gosh that’s a lovely sound!
Mick, yourself and Dan put yourselves down too much. Some really stellar noodling going on here. Super musical too. You're passion for what you do is infectious, so much so that after a few years of watch TPS I've gone from GT-100 into a PA speaker to a bunch of analog pedals into the front of a tube amp. It's a heavier setup, less reliable, more stuff to carry, temperamental...and I love it, all because you guys reminded me it's all about how your sound makes you feel. Cheers
That’s great to hear Steven. Whatever makes you inspired is all that matters. Thanks for the kind words!
Looks and sounds incredible!
Gorgeous guitar, Mick.
Nicely done, Mick. Can't get enough of my own Dot Reissue. Listening to your impeccable playing, it occured to me that Blues Saraceno would make for a killer TPS show! Great guitarist, gear nerd and pedal head !
Beautiful guitar presented by a beautiful person.
Always amazes me that couple a sheets and chunks of wood plus bits of metal can do rock n rolll.
Grtz
Thank you Jord. :0)
great video. This is the first time in a long time that I have actually wanted a Gibson! Thanks for the video
Oh man Mick... could listen to you and Dan play all day. Always have killer tones and the playing is better every show. Would love to purchase more of your TPS original music, should you guys been inspired to record and sell again. Anything to support you guys. Keep on Rocking!
Thank you Jeremy. We’d both love to be making more music. Just need to quit the excuses and do it! Thanks for watching!
Sensational jam at the end!!!
Very happy you didn't sell your other guitars like you planned to. That one is just at home at TPS. It's already a classic.
Love the Vlogs Mick...The 335 is the one I have yet to find...airways wanted one...perhaps in red though! Happy Days! 😎🎸
I thought the outro was terrific. Actually listened to it twice in quick succession - lovely playing and tone.
Love all the vlog-style videos! Would be great to see one on what's changed in the past year since moving in to Schwangri-la/That New Pedal Shed
Great looking and sounding guitar! Want!
Arrrrggghhhhh!! I looooooove the looks of your 335 Mick!!!! Freakin’ gorgeous!! Myself, I own a cherry 2015 Gibson Memphis 335 and is fantastic.
Sweeeeeeeeet! Cherry is so iconic. :0)
I've never seen one of those before, but that's GORGEOUS!
Awesome jam Mick!!
Thanks Bryan!
Just bought a '63 Reissue Block ES-335 built in 1998 on the weekend. Absolutely beautiful instrument. So many tones.
Enjoy Sean. What a cool guitar - congrats!
Gorgeous guitar!
You perfectly explained my feelings about the whole Gibson debacle. Thank you.
My fav TPS guitar by miles, sounds awesome.
Hey thanks for posting this! I'm glad that you didn't sell it. It might not be in your comfort zone, but it sounds great.
Yo mick! Due to most of my “friends” abandoning me over my (correct at the time, and vindicated now) views on the C-19 hysteria, I havent been able to show off my brand new VOS custom shop 335 in vintage sunburst. So here I am, living vicariously through your video showing off yours! Cheers!
Great vlog and great playing. Love the 'you only need x guitars' thoughts.
love you guys!
Love you Ryan!
Nice guitar, great sound , fantastic playin like allways,Good on you Mick
Ah the 335 the only Gibson id love to own. Beautiful 😍
Mick! The playing at the end! Whoa!
Sounds great!
Finally the video I was waiting for ! I remember Mick wanting an ES335 and I had seen this blonde one on the videos since last year but I could never know if it was his or he borrowed it from someone else. Well now I know!
Also Mick, could you please upload the video of when you bought this beauty from Andertons?
Mick ace video. When u tweaked the sound into clean tone at 10:06 you made a Tsunami of powerful guitar magic that made the whole universe crave for that ES335 tones! Great musical spirit you have Mick. Live long and prosper.
Geez include in my comment those feedback harmonics too.
Thank you sir! Very kind of you to say. That two pickup thing.... no other guitar does it like this. So many variations!
Good show. Thank you!
Mick, as much as Blue is your guitar, the 335 is equally so. You sound at home on this guitar, comfortable, but not in the normal Strat-y/SRV kind of way. This brings out another side of you, not entirely dissimilar, but just different enough to make this guitar equally a part of you.
I’m glad you didn’t sell it.
Also, I couldn’t stop laughing at your listing the guitars at the end! Absolutely perfect execution there, especially with editing it in through the playing.
Thank you Tony, i was laughing at myself listing them too. Will it ever end!? :0)
loved the rambling walkthrough of the 4 guitars you need to own in life hahaha... I am on my way! Have a Tele, a Gretsch semi-hollow, a Martin DM, a Yamaha Classical, and a Strat coming in next Monday! Plus some ukulele's thrown in for good measure
Sick Tones Mick!!
Have to say, I always appreciate when Mick puts down Blue and says “let’s try some humbuckers.” Like you said, the 335 is a perfect foil for Blue and each instrument brings out different aspects of your playing. Beautiful guitar, love the big Micky Mouse ears those earlier 335s had.
Me too on the ears thing. I could never love a pointy ear one quite the same. Never let it be said that we’re not all totally weird. :0)
< excellent playing meister mick! >
Yay Mick, you know i have been waiting for this one. I’d love to do a Gibson factory tour one day.
How did I guess!? Memphis was a magic place. Hope they’ve managed to transfer it to Nashville.
Your playing at the end of the vlog is exactly why you need this guitar. As you rightly said it is a perfect foil for the strat. I find exactly the same thing when i switch between my Strat and my 335, it’s like another part of me gets to speak.
Good to see you enjoying playing "more", Mick. Backing track was great too!
Thanks Toni! Yeah, definitely in a better mindset about things. Now I just need to get my head down and learn some stuff. :0)
@@ThatPedalShow Cool! I can see another vlog there then ;)
Pls more of this 335 at your channel.
@@Blortt5000 Third that!!
Love that 335.
Indeed
Gotta say towards the end of the Memphis factory’s life, they were putting out amazing guitars. The reissues were superb and excellent with no QC issues. I own a 63 reissue 335 Memphis and it’s up to par with my 95 custom shop 355. Idk how I feel about the ES models move to the USA factory now.
Loved the list of guitars that went from 4 to 10 😂. I am sure you could go to 20. I have anyway 😂
What about you and Dan each making a video about your complete collection of guitars and a little cool fact attached to them ? Anyway cool video thanks for making it and actually listen to the people. it proves that you are truly interested in the people’s suggestions and shows the commitment you have to this channel. Nothing but respect !
I think you connect so heavily with this guitar, you alas get great sounds out of it. I know you love the Strats, but man, these are just up your alley. I had the same feeling on Gibson, the December to April tour of " hey, Gibson is gonna be for players again! We're back! Love us!" then they start up with the terrible video and lawsuits and threats. I'm glad you could get over it, but I just couldn't and sold my 3 Gibsons. I personally felt I couldn't rep them. Not like it matters to them, but it does to me. Maybe one day I'll get over it. But I'm happy with the Suhr Alt T and the PRS now. You make a great point with the history and legacy. And really, it's your guitar, not theirs. And its very pretty Great video, thanks for doing it for us
Mick, very helpful piece on the 335-I’m mulling over whether to own one-I use/record/gig with all my guitars, so they need to be flexible and inspire. I really needed to cut through the lore and hype and hear someone on YT harness the sound of the 335 (most have been muddy messes). You really dialed it in in a lovely, articulate way that spoke to me, as my current fixation is roots rock and Blues (but across the spectrum of each-jazz, country, rockabilly, experimental, old school flavors). Cheers, Mark in Canada.
Thanks Mark! I’ve actually just changed out the pickups on this guitar and there’s a vlog upcoming - might give you food for thought. They can be super articulate guitars. Good luck!
What a beautiful color 🤤
Thank you! It’s kinda dark for a blonde, but it spoke to me. :0)
Just bought one of those. From 2016. Might be the perfect es 335 for my taste. Also love the MHS pu´s. Great, great guitar!
Very much agree, even if you have a strong #1 type of guitar, owning different other types is a great way to approach the thing from different angles. If nothing else, it well help you to better characterize your #1, and why you love it so much.
A total banger.
At 8:23 the hypnosis starts, I just woke up and realized I bought 6 new guitars ...
I selected and bought one. NOTHING needs changing.
Blonde
Because blondes have more fun. Clubby neck. It may be my imagination, a bit snappier brighter than burst.
Great guitar, the MHS pickups are the best I've heard from Gibson.
Besides changing pickups on a 335 is a hassle if you do it properly.
Let it be, you won't regret it.
Nice! Mine is definitely a little dark sounding compared with a lot of the old ones I’ve played. I’ll change the pups for something a little bit lighter at some point, but nonetheless I love this guitar!
I agreed I have been having a hard time with new Gibson’s with everything they are doing I’m just glad I have Memphis guitar and a old jr
Hey Mick! I work at the Gibson Nashville factory and can confirm that all the ES style guitars that were previously built in Memphis, and are now built in Nashville, are still of the highest quality possible along every step of the process. Also you and Dan should come to Nashville soon. Maybe next summer NAMM.... 🤔
Alec, thanks for the message! I was blown away by Memphis - and the Custom Shop too to be fair- so it’s great to hear it’s happening in Nashville. Would be cool to visit some day for sure. Cheers, and thank you for your work.
Digging what the Gibson pulls out of you, Mick. You played your ass off, and that TONE !
Thank you Sean!
That guitar found you. Good stuff!
Ha, the ten guitars thing made me LOL. I just had to do this exercise with my spouse, as GAS hit quite hard this year. Being a heavy duty acoustic player I had a little variation from your list, which is great. One of the guitars that forced the list making this year was a 1970 ES-335 TDW in the walnut finish. Sounds and plays amazing, and I got a great deal on it. So I agree, long live the 335! Definitely a must have in the arsenal.
Ah cool! Something about walnut too.... so classic!
I sold all my Gibson’s because of the “authentic” video: Two Figured ES335s, a Les Paul Standard HP, a Hummingbird, and a Songwriter. Still have an R9 I’m on the fence about. All lefties. Vastly prefer the Collings I bought as replacements. The R9 is hard to let go, but I too felt (and still feel)very alienated by the video.
This is really fascinating. I know it wasn’t just me that felt that way but it’s still shocking when you hear somebody else actually say it. Wow. Right with you on Collings of course. But my heart loves Gibson too, even if the corporate side has been bonkers at times. I also feel for corporations who have to juggle this crap. :0)
Complete 'down the lens' honesty, again, Mick. This proves that corporate decisions can effect people in so many unseen ways. Still think you made the right choice, to keep it - it sounds pretty special in your hands!
Thanks Gordon. I figure we’re all friends, so may as well say what’s on the mind. I think Gibson are probably aware of the hearts and minds game. Be interesting to see if they can actually play it from the heart over the next year or five.
