<...>looking like a Gibson 335, in coffee sunburst. Banjo string as the top E and then normal strings moved "down one". Still have that baby, it has gotta be nearly 50 years old now!! Aah memories




I remember my first road band. The guitarist had an Epiphone Sheraton (I think) looking like a 335 with the Frequensator (SP?) trapeze tail. He would put a banjo string on the first and then down one. He would also search for wound thirds which he would use for the 4th. Back then it seems people bought single strings instead of sets (Black Diamond brand comes to mind). Each town we went to brought a search for those wound third strings. I guess that was the precursor to light gauge sets.
