Its also on the light side for a 335 and has a brightness on the bridge pickup that's almost gretschy. Great rosewood fingerboard with a wide, streaky grain you don't see on a lot of modern guitars due to old growth woods being virtually non-existent now. Obviously there is n fret edge binding left after the refret. Mine is black, not my preferred color but it was a great deal for a 335 having been re-fretted at least once. The neck is medium fat as it should be, very similar to the shape of my Yamaha 335, but the Yamaha has a mid-60s thin nut and this has the wide 50s nut that encourages bends but is a bit less fast on flatpicked jazz runs. It has Tim Shaw humbuckers that are thick and syrupy with a complex tone. This an 80s pre-custom-shop 59 copy, pretty early ttempt at recreating a golden age 335.
