Yeah, it sounds great too! Both with the tubes cranked and the tone rolled down for the flatwound jazz stuff. It handles both genres equally well. It really shines however when its A-B'd through the Twin Amp and Blues Deluxe. The tubes don't need to get so hot before it starts to really sing, not like it did when I ran a Stratocaster though 'em anyway. And after playing a Strat for over 16 yrs. the comparitively chunky neck was like coming home. I don't run any signal between the guitar and amp (occasionally a delay) so between the humbuckers and the hollowbody I've found THE tone, for me anyway. I played a borrowed 335 for a while but just didn't fall in love with it but I absolutely love this guitar. However as I get older (51) the tinitus and deafness in the high frequencies are forcing me to play more flatwound jazz stuff (not a bad thing). But I'm not giving up entirely the hard blues stuff, thats why I've got an attenuator :lol:
