Craig, I know that you "pulled the trigger" but perhaps for anyone else looking this will be relevant. He starts off saying for home use it has to be less than 15 watts. Then demos some that are 22 watts or more. But those all have some form of attenuation.

Really appreciate the information. I'm on the reserve list now. Waiting on Hip Muscle Tear operations. Hope all is well!

The one amp I wish I had purchased along the gear acquisition way, was the Princeton Reverb. A bandmate has one....very, very versatile , clean or driven. I can certainly empathize with your spinal condition. SRV. I am doing everything I can to prevent, forestall a second surgery and spinal fusion. Best of wishes.

GOTTO Are you in Canada or The States?

@SRV great amp. it does what your fingers tell it to do..
it's not a digital Swiss army knife.. great tone from your fingers
I would have bought one if I could off load my Traynor for a good price

That's great... you won't be disappointed. I forgot to mention, another amp. IF you're in a band or gig setting and need something a bit more powerful, the Fender Twin Reverb is a very well respected amp, used by professionals world wide.
I pulled the trigger on the same amp NeilES335 on the same amp. Really do like it. Unfortunately I am having to hold off until I have 2 possibly 3 surgeries now that i have had my Covid Vaccine.

Hi @SRV I looked for a really nice tube amp to match up with my ES335 that gave me a clean clear and warm sound. I had to be good at lower "practice " volume and yet possibly loud enough for a small gig, should I go that way. After much consideration and many comparisons I settled on a Fender FSR '65 Princeton Reverb Reissue, with the 12" Cannabis Rex speaker... https://www.long-mcquade.com/71239/Guitars/Guitar-Amps/Fender-Musical-Instruments/FSR-65-Princeton-Rev-Tweed-w-12---Cannabis-Rex-Speaker.htm
It's amazing... all I wanted and more. And a perfect match for my ES335, as well as my other guitars. IF you can try one, or find one to buy, I wouldn't hesitate on it.
The other simpler smaller (and half the price) amp I liked was the Fender Pro Junior https://www.long-mcquade.com/98823/Guitars/Guitar-Amps/Fender-Musical-Instruments/Pro-Junior-IV-15W-1x10-Tube-Combo-Amp---Lacquered-Tweed.htm
The Princeton isn't the lightest amp if weight is a consideration for you... the Pro Junior may be the better and less expensive option. You could use Reverb pedals with it instead if you wished.
I hope this helps.
I saw that FSR NeilES335 and looking to ordering one now but still need wheel Kit. Thanks for everyones input. Ya'll Rock

Neil335,
I saw that amp and I looked at the specs and I think the Princeton would be a great fit for me. Now time for the hunt. Thank you for input. You to Six Strings Thank you for your input as well!

I had to end up selling my "64 Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue do to the sheer weight of it. I have two plates, six rods and a Spinal Chord Stimulator in my back. The little Yamaha THR10 that i am using for now just does not have the sound i want my 2015 Gibson ES-335/figured 390 neck to sound. I loved the way my Guitar sounded with the Fender and now wished I kept it and put it on a wheel kit. Any advice is much appreciated!
Thank you for your input and nice criticism.

Great to see you back! You have a couple sweet guitars to guide the way forward and inspire your learning.

Thank you Greg, Thanks for the kudo's on my Guitar. It is a 2015 Gibson ES-335 figured with 390 neck. They made 100 of them that year. I am somewhat of little guy so the slim neck works really good for me. I sold my Fender Deluxe Reverb 65' Reissue because it was too heavy for me and I am 100% disabled and in need of 3 more surgeries. I first started taking guitar lessons when I was 10 years old in 1970 and actually learned how to play "On Top of Old Smokey" lol
Thank you for the welcome Greg!

@SRV As DougH says, I wouldn't count on a reply from Greg...
You're supposed to feel some "vibration" in a semi-hollow guitar like the ES 335 or ES 390!
It's called "resonance" . It's what makes these guitars what they are, vs. a solid slab of wood in a solid body guitar like a Strat or Les Paul. (the good ones have a bit of this, but not much)
The warmer "woody" tone what they are known for. Unless of course you're talking about string buzz or a loose part somewhere... That would be possibly a neck or string height adjustment.
For Strings; It's much a question of taste, the sound and playability you're after. "9's" are very light... easy on the fingers and easy to bend, but also will likely go out of tune or be bent out of tune easily when you play chords.
So, I gather, if you mean "E2" is the High E string, a "9" will bend very easily; what you call "excessive play" ...
There are very few occasions where a 'opening up the nut" is required. Leave it alone. Unless it's a cheap guitar, or somebody monkeyed with it, most come from the factory the way they should be.
Moving up slightly to " 10's" should not cause any set up issues. They will still be very playable, and offer better tone on your ES 335 or ES 390 (or any similar semi-hollow guitar)
For Brands; I like D'Addario, or Gibson strings on these guitars. Not the coated ones... but again, it's a personal choice.
Cheers; Neil
Thank you. Im in Houston and we are hurting down here. we are not geared for cold weather...be back intouch.

@SRV I see Greg hasn't checked the forum since Sept 2019,, so over a year and a half ago, you might not get a quick answer.
What kind of excessive vibration are you talking about, after all this is a semi-hollow guitar, you'll hear a lot more going on
Eracer, thanks for eyeing that for me. The E2 just seems to have to much play in it. Its hard to explain. I appreciate your help that was very kind of you sir!

Hi Greg,
I have been experimenting on size of the strings I use on my 2015 Gibson ES-335/390. Sweetwater who i purchased it from set it up with "9's" made by D'Addario nickel wound XL. I really have wanted to check with a pro like yourself before I screw something up. I have wanted to use 10's to see if it would stop unwanted excessive vibration. I have found that the 10's have not helped any at all. Should I have a technician to possibly open up the nut espescially the E2 string to eliminate excessive vibration.
Would you reccommend just changing manufacturers all together? Your expertise is greatly appreciated Greg. Thank you sir,
SRV

After a longer than expected time to be away from. "even before the Guitar Gatherings" Life happened, So Glad to see familiar members still around. I never have been much on Computers and hope I can get some direction on learning to play my 2015 ES-335 / 390 of courser but more concerned about becoming a grateful student. Blessings and peace to all!
