Lately, I have been lusting for a 1959 Reissue ES-355 in ebony, stop tail. Of course, there are none locally that I can try out. Has anyone got recent experience with these guitars (2020/2021 models)? Most importantly, how do they sound? How is the neck? Would it be similar to the neck on my 2020 R9, or different? How is the overall quality of the build, fit and finish?
I have a vintage 1964 ES-335 that I love! I'm not looking for a guitar that would be exactly like it, but I want to know if I would be satisfied with a modern 355 or if I would feel disappointed.
Also, is there a way to tell from the serial number what year the guitar was built in? I really want one from 2020 or 2021.
Thanks for any input!
