I like everything about the brown one! I dunno, simpler thing, still really nice looking, with a nice set of pick-ups I'm sure they sound gorgeous!
Tattooed carrot has one and he put a set of Seths in there... From what I've heard it's just an amazing sounding guitar...

Re: Thoughts on Gibson ES333
I got one earlier this year off of eBay. It's the natural (blonde) color and plays real nice. I tried a Pearly Gates set, Antiquity set and Seth Lover set in it and Seth's stayed. They just sound perfect.
You can get a great deal if you find one used. Once you change the pickups it is basically a 335 with a thinner finish and no pickguard.

I bought the brown one and put Seths in it, it just smokes with Seths, and looks better with the covers too. I also switched the modern speed knobs for more vintage looking tophats.

RE: this axe and hollowbodies in general.
PROS: Amazing tone, a bit of a peak or "HONK" in the mid-range that's actually real cool, makes it sing a bit more than say an SG or Les Paul. They usually play like a dream (I did my last CD with a hollowbody)!
CONS: Prone to feedback onstage. A bit uncomfortable to hold onstage for some folks like myself

TC: that is one sexy guitar...
The Owl: They are not uncomfortable to me, and i expect feedback since the Seths are not wax potted and i plan to get a noise gate to hopefully help out with that.

Strat master,
There are some smaller semi-hollows out there. I think the Epi Kat series looks real promising for a smaller semi-hollow body size.
BTW, I love my Blueburst ES-137 Classic, and I'm starting to get an itch to try a set of Seths in it.

those covered humbuckers make it look really classy rather than the exposed coils.
