Considering pulling the trigger on a 64 re-issue 335 from last year (2020). Seller says it’s the best 335 she’s ever owned, like new, etc etc.
Due to the pandemic I still haven’t had the ability to play any Nashville manufactured 335s. I’ve wanted a 335 for a long time but was never satisfied with the quality of the past re-issues. Everyone seems to love the new ones and talks about how authentic they feel. On a sidenote, I originally was going to purchase a 61 as I prefer the dot inlays and wider horns but I’ve been told that the 64 neck profile is larger and feels better with less shoulder. Is this accurate? I much prefer some girth.
I believe these retailed for $5,299 last year, assuming no one actually paid that? Hoping someone can speak to this. There seems to be a couple for sale on reverb in the mid fours. What would you consider to be a fair price to pay for a used, mint condition example? Also curious to know everyone’s thoughts on long-term values. I’m sure they will depreciate and I would not expect to make money on it but I’m curious to hear some long-term predictions.
Also, does anyone know if they’re still manufacturing these? Sweetwater says they have more on order but everywhere else seems to be out of stock. I know you can still get them through Murphy lab or made to measure but I wasn’t sure if they were going to make anymore “normal” CS variants.
