Nice! I have a cherry one I got last June after Custom went back into production in May. Really remarkable guitars!

Congrats on your 335.......what's the neck like.......is it a bit fatter?
I'm waiting on my '58 from CS which I hope is only 6 weeks away or so.

Great guitar - I love my 64. Perfect necks in that year as well as superb sounding PAT pickups.

The 'ears' on yours really have the classic pointy profile.

Thanks a lot!

For myself i'm rather sensitive for the neck size. This neck, at least for me, is perfect! I've had an 1959 ES 335 Reissue before and that neck is definitely fatter.

Was this made in 1964 or is this a reissue? There seems to be some confusion in the replies. (I assume it's a new reissue.)
It looks like good fun!
Your thoughts on the '64 neck vs '59 neck are interesting.

So am I.
Since NAMM last year when the newer look 335s appeared they were purported to follow the vintage ones in that the '64 neck profile was supposed to be more akin to a '59.......which appears not to be the case as we've seen.
I like a fat neck šŸ˜Š
