It's got all the right pieces you'd expect in a great 335. Neck shape is slightly chunky and feels just right. The '57's have the tone you want. It's easy to go from blues to screaming and most everthing in between. It's incredible with just a bit of dirt added. Setup was excellent out of the box, but anything you want can be achieved with minimal fuss.

The finish was perfect. I bought this one right off the line at the factory in Memphis...literally! It was finished just the day before and had not been moved out of manufacturing inventory. Left the pickguard off because I couldn't see covering up any of the birdseye. It's just beautiful.

Considering how few birdseye exotics there are out there, the difference between this and a 'regular' figured top natural was a no-brainer. If stolen, I'd be standing on the factory doorstep the next day to put a deposit on the next one out the door.

I currently own 19 guitars ranging from a '55 Gib J-160e, '78 LP 25/50, '91 US Strat, '98 Jazz, '01 P Bass, '01 Larrivee DV09K and a smattering of others. I've always felt that if it doesn't raise your heartrate a little when you pick it up to play, you need to find another guitar. I believe I'll have them slide this one in my coffin when I'm done.
