Say pay lee

How weight is it?

Your review just swayed me into buying this same model, great sound. It's gone up $10 since your purchase but well worth it, Thanks for your review, now how can I learn to play like you?

I saw you compared the Ibanez AS73 and the Grote 225. I was considering that one but now want to get the Grote 335. For the price it can't be beat. Someday I still will get the Ibanez. Both look like great guitars in their own right.

I knew you were from NC when you spoke. Mount Holly, here. Thanks for the review.

Sounds great.

I like the finger picking

Beautiful wood. Just ordered a purple one.

When a guitar makes someone say "gee whiz", you know it's goos. :)

OMG, now you have me wanting to order one of these!!! I have too many guitars already, but a semi-hollow with P90s for such a low price is so tempting. Great straiight-forward review and nice playing. (Your accent is amazing btw. Where are you from?)

This is an unpaid endorsement LOL but Sweetwater has always done me right with any guitar issues I've had and I try only buy from one music store with the exception of budget guitars they don't carry. For instance I bought the Monoprice Indio Tele style guitar from Wal-Mart and now they're starting to carry Monoprice products like cables etc because their employees started buying from them and they were so impressed they past it on to management and then to their customers.

I've never owned a guitar with p90s because they're alot radical for my genres of music. I'm very interested in the hollwbody version because it does sound very close to the Gibson that it's a copy of. I have the Epiphone es339 and I don't buy duplicate versions of guitars and Sweetwater did and excellent job setting it up.

Definitely has a warm cozy to it!

Nice playing !

nice review, I really like your straight talk and demo of the guitar. I;m definitely going to keep this on my short list.

Love this guitar. I've been looking at the green one for quite a while now. Noticed it b'c Jimmy Steward has one, and he absolutely adores it - and the P-90s. I have a bit of an addiction to Semi-HBs... and I do not have one with P-90s, which I love anyway. So yeah - might have to grab this in Green matte, or this sunburst one. Beautiful guitars. Great vid Tony! Lots of fun.

I bought the exact same except in the cherry finish on Amazon a couple of months ago and was very pleased and impressed. After seeing yours I kinda wished I had got the burst. I just googled upgrades for Grote ES335 and discovered your channel. Glad I did. After watching your Grote vids and playing mine all morning long I think I will leave it alone for now except for the tuners.

Tony (my real names Adam), do you think P90s sound better on a semi than humbuckers? I’m real tempted to buy a pair for my Ibanez as63, it’s got Duncan 59’s on atm and it sounds great, but I was thinking of moving them onto a les Paul I have and sticking p90s on the semi... worried about it sounding too thin though

This guitar sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Because of one of your videos a few years back I purchased an Oscar Schmidt Delta King by Washburn Semi-Hollow electric guitar like a Gibson 335 and the guitar in this video. It was a $239 purchase from Amazon and I still have her. Note she arrived with a bad neck pick-up or a bad wiring connection. However, because I could not print out the Return Label they did send me I ended up keeping her anyway. I'm glad I did because its a good instrument, even with it's problem. -Peter age 71
P.S. This Grote P90 instrument presented here appears to be an amazing value. I just purchased the Grote GT-150 Super Series 2019 for $99+ tax here in Alabama. It's a semi-hollow Thinline Telecaster style instrument that is absolutely a great instrument. Just needs better strings.
I always enjoy your videos Tony and I like your playing!

Total bargain !

Sweet! I just found out today that I got a small surprise bonus at work that is just about the exact right amount for this guitar, and it was only just yesterday that I first discovered this piece on Amazon. Then seeing your positive review for it now today.....it all seems fortuitous.

So I think I'll go ahead and "add to cart!" Mine will be the dull red with black binding version, though. Yours looks better, I'll admit! But mine should at least sound the same and be the same quality.

This will be my second double-cutaway semi-hollow (and fourth if you count guitars I used to have but no longer do) but it will be my first ever guitar to have P90's. I've never had one before in any form factor, and I've been looking for a low-priced entrance into the P90's world for a while now, but one that was at least somewhat decent quality.

It seems like I may have finally found it!

Thanks for sharing! :-)

Can this guitar play rock and hard rock

Awesome video. You made me want to buy this guitar! I don't have a 335 style with p90 pick ups. 👍

Thanks so much for this Tony. I ended up buying the exact same guitar (colour and all) I cannot wait to get it. Your video helped me make a final decision on the right guitar for me. Play on!

Just got my Grote semi-hollow last week flame red. I didn't get the P90s, but sounds great. Came pretty much set and and rdy to play out of the box. No flaws. then I dropped it....

Sold,thx.arriving fri

I've got this exact one ordered and on the way as we speak! My first fully electric. I'm pretty excited!

Anyone know what the scale length is?

I got the green one and am loving it. These Grotes are amazing. We know it isn't the best guitar you ever played. It's nowhere near the best i have played either, but isn't it amazing what you can get for under 200 bucks these days? I remember buying guitars back in the sixties for five or six hundred that wouldn't compare to the one's we can buy today for a couple hundred. I mean with inflation those old guitars would cost thousands today. Thank you for the review! You play great and i can tell you enjoy it.

My question is whether I should get the p90 or Humbucker version. Which do you prefer and why?

Hey Tony,
Anyway you know the dimensions of the body?? Sounds amazing. Still enjoying?

What's really amazing is how poorly packed they are and manage to arrive without damage. Mine is fantastic. ($143usd) Thank you UPS.

Thanks for the video but not to be rude it "may look like wood" but my understanding is that this Grote has essentially a photoflame top. Grote calls it "printed maple" ... and that is what I expect it to be, a printed top. Also the price used to be $159.99 and I thought that was fair because of the finish used ... but I see now it's up to $189.99. Why a $30 increase?

Just got the exact same color Grote Semi-hollow with P90 pickups. I had no blemish on my guitar. Some rough edges on the binding on the back in some part, but I quickly removed it my Micro-Mesh 3 x 4 Soft Touch Pads. I used the 1500 and 12,000. A few fret ends need some light sanding. I look at the blemishes on the guitar as the start of relicing. Some people pay top dollar for relics.

Hi there, could you measure the width at the lower bout? I can't seem to find that anywhere and I'm wondering if it's typical 335 size or smaller.

Hey again, just ordered the Green One. Hope I like it...

Hey do you recommend it? I like the Green colored one.

Nice Tony! How does the guitar handle overdrive? Guitar is cool!

Love me some P90's. Amazing! Sapele is actually used on some really nice acoustics.

It's amazing how well affordable guitars sound these days.

I've gotten a few guitars like that - just the guitar storage box! I was surprised they arrived in one piece! Amazon's not great at packing guitars. My IYV PRS-copy arrived with barely any packing in the outer box. It was ok, though - thankfully!

Man that is an absolutely beautiful guitar wow wow wow

Wow!!!!!
