@AdamLevyGuitarTips is one of my favorite guitar players alive today, his feel and tone are some of the best out there, and his amazing 1964 ES-335 is a big part of his sound. In today’s video we talk about Adam’s guitar and why he loves it so much.

$25K ??? Sold!
Two dudes sitting uncomfortably close making toilets faces. Classic intro. Oh, great playing too
That guitar is something else.
The furry music critic approves of this video and sound.
This guy Adam is so smooth with it holy shit
Its like he has a lofi pedal built into the guitar. I'm sure he's a monster player but one of the few times I didn't really dig the playing. Beautiful guitar though!
His first guitar was a 335?
Are those flatwound strings?
I was lucky enough to find a used CS '64 335 for a great price. Looks just like that one and is the overall nicest guitar I've ever owned or played.
I farted
thank you for the amazing videos
Is the ES-335 a more versatile guitar than a Les Paul? I definitely think ES-335 is a sweet sounding guitar but I like the size of the Les Paul more.
The feel in Adam’s playing is sooo sweet – I would love to take lessons from him one day.
Adam is one of the tastiest guitar players in the land and a great educator. And one of the nicest guys.
Aaand it sounds exactly like every other Gibson ever made.
That was sublime, but both of those 335 sounded great. I don't like to fetish vintage guitars as the key to great sound, but man it was really, really beautiful
I love that type of videos, just pleasure to watch. And the vibe in that studio + video production is top notch, 3:08 for example, just like wallpaper, art, however you wanna call it
The doggo <333333
Anyone want to buy a Les Paul?
Must be something special about the 64. Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues also has a 64 from what I understand, cherry red. His was my first intro to the model. Then I started learning about who session players were and their contribution to the music I listened too. That's how I found out who Larry Carlton is and the line of Sire guitars with his name on them. I now have a black Sire H7V leftie on order which is a variant brand of the 335. Not sure why I'm putting this out there for the world to read. Boredum.
Rhett, this is one of your best videos yet! Could listen for hours to you and Adam jamming – that soul-full, melancholy expression of these 335's is just beautiful to the ears. Thanks so much for posting this!
These guys should play one of the Collings I35 (LC). I am very confident that they both would be very surprised/impressed/overwhelmed!
Man, that intro jam could not be long enough. Absolutely beautiful.
335s are magic. Owning one since Dec' 2023.
Thanks for great playing ! It´s very intersting to hear you guys swapping guitars…there´s only a tiny difference in sound… but Rhett has still his more "brighter" tone on the ´64 and Adam has his "warm and rounded" tone on Rhett´s guitar. PS I´m very lucky to own two 335s from ´66 and ´67 i got around `84 for then $500 each and kept them both through good and bad times untill today !!!
Gibson doesn’t care for guitars , they are interested in cash ! ????
waiting for this course to drop!
This reminds me of my search for a 335 in the early eighties (Carlton, Rios, Ritenour were my heroes back then). I traveled through half of Europe, everything I played was crap, including 50s and early 60s.
Funnily enough, I stumbled across a Les Paul on my search (81 Heritage Standard 80), which then carried me through my time as a studio musician (with my Strat and Tele).
I'm still looking for 335s, but to this day there hasn't been one that has inspired me. Maybe not my model.
There is a lot a fuss about vintage guitars I have one, however my £300 ephiphone 335 sounds as good as these in this video if not better.
Looking forward to meeting you both at the fretboard summit this year!
Great video, great playing, and great tones!
Back in the day they didn't measure pickups and put the hotter one in the bridge position. They just grabbed one out of the parts bin and soldered it in.
Beautiful.
Such amazing tones in this video
I agree it would be a great move for them- since they seem to be declining in popularity over the last couple years. And that's not a slice at Gibson- it just what I've noticed on social media sites- ppl seem to love to hate Gibson lately. That said- I already know it would be priced out of my reach if they made it so- I'm not exactly going to get excited about it either way. And I'm not singling Gibson out really- Fender does the same thing- super expensive stuff no one but lawyers, doctors, and professional musicians who have already made their name can afford. That said- at least Fender also does some stuff I can afford- that's good gear. Everything Gibson makes is out of my reach- if they made a paper weight, it would be collectible and therefore- expensive. They're like Martin- no budget stuff at all- well, that's not technically true of Martin now I guess, but have you heard their budget stuff? Not impressive at all imo- and barely cheap enough to be considered budget.
What did he do at 14:53? Never seen that before.
WoW! Makes me want to get right back on my 335 ASAP. Great to hear the tonal blends played with such charisma!????
amazing episode!!!
What a beautiful guitar that is. In the hands of Adam it absolutely sings. Also, that Tone King is a killer amp. The experience level of both guitars shines through in the way they work together. Well done.
Man this will definitely go down as a classic video on your channel in my book. Will definitely be revisiting this video in the future. Great content, thanks Rhett.
Can you do a review on the Fender Player II series? They're advertising it on Sweetwater.
Naa this video was BUSSIN
It was such a pleasure to hang and jam with you, Rhett. I'm excited for our course!
Levy has the most engaging, meaty, juicey sound I could hear all day!
63 to early 65 are probably the nicest 335/345's I've owned.
Lovely bit of cork sniffing
Gibson is dead – they won't and can't build guitars like 60 years ago – they are a "lifestyle brand" not a guitar manufacture anymore –
Adam did Rhett a solid @ 1:21. I miss jamming.
That tone Adam gets from that guitar is exquisite. It’s pretty much perfect. And his playing is excellent too – never a wasted note, thanks for posting Rhett
335s are amazing. I love my big neck 58 burst and fast neck 61 blonde CS reissues. They’re really so versatile but benefit from a high headroom, dynamic amp.
Great vid and jam guys! Luv hearing the stories behind these nice instruments, just watched the story Rick dropped on his uncles bass, so cool.
