I use Infran View, it was on my PC when I got it...

As for the Yamaha, my neice has one of these, and I really like it.
For me it was good tones when clean and crunchy, it was easy to play and stayed in tune. A good guitar.
I can only imagine what yours might be like when its all done up... I think you got a good score there mate.

I tried to buy my neices off her, but she wont sell, shes not using it either, Grrrrr.

Sounds like you need to send her to her room and confiscate the guitar as punishment!!!

Very quiet at the moment due to some kind of wiring problem , acoustically sounds like she'll be great with some good pick-ups however .

Love the mirror finish on the 335, very glassy, err classy

Mmmm...there seems to be a few of these red Yammies floating around. I know of at least 3 and I had a virtually new one up until 3 years ago. I could never bond with it. The neck, thin fret wire, non-resonant body all added up to something that sounded awful and felt awful. Hey, not to put you off though. Maybe I had a dud! They always looked the part though!

That 335 looks great, but give the gold hardware a rest...Gold should simply not be on any guitar,,,,including my firebird which now looks like a poor old tatty thing.

Speaking of hollowbodies, what do people think of the finish on this 335
Flame top, gold hardware and its brown. None of these things belong on a 335 so thats 3 strikes against it. I reckon its fugly.

so... what is a good finish on a 335 in your opinion ReCycledPet?

Ta for that, other SA30s you say? I'd be keen on tracking others down if possible.
It's the first SA30 I'd ever seen, previously I'd only seen SA1000s and the like, usually for many dollars fifty...

Duds are possible with any brand I guess, and I've played a few "dead" sounding ones (rhymes with peppy-bone) dis one ain't loik one o'doz!

Mind you in speaking of rhyming with peppy-bone, a "proper" Epi like a Casino would be interesting, I personally found the 335 copy epi's dead sounding, and not just the pick-ups either...IMHO of course...

red or black, body and neck binding, block inlays are a bonus and a bigsby is win aswell.

If money and availability weren't an issue I'd probably go for a black bigsby equiped 355 just to get all the extra trimmings.

actually, that's a good start. The finish would involve tractors and a midget...
