That's gorgeous. For some reason there were several in 63 with that slightly different color. And I really like it.

Great looking guitar.

Looking at the bridge height that looks like a very low neck angle.
Some guys really like being closer to the body like that. It is a different feel. My converted '65 (Bog standard cherry.) has maybe a half a wheel higher. Took me some getting used to but man, these old 335s are something special. Light weight, very resonant.

Killer score:salude

Oh congrats. I gazed at that one too. What a cool xmas present to have. The cherry '64 also makes my heart jump madly

That's a beauty, but I have to ask, why would a '63 have had a trapeze tailpiece? I can clearly see a shadow where a trapeze tailpiece was mounted.

I was told a previous owner in Holland converted it from an original stop tail to a trapeze, for some reason

Nice! Here is a photo of my early ‘63, S/N 104XXX, PAF in the neck, PAT# in the bridge. Large neck profile.

Love those mouse ears. That’s one reason why ‘63s are so cool, last year of the mouse!
