I appreciate the comment, Tom. Like I said, I don't know much. :biggrin:

Does everything else, husk-wise, look reasonable?

Beats me … I don't know much either. I just know that 52's with center seam tops have shown up often. :salude

I very much agree to center seam 52s and think the body looks like a vintage 1952. I'm not able to say what the neck is from photos, but Lay's looks to have gotten lost in the headstock finish around the logo. It's hard to know what parts of these conversions and refins were due to the owners choices?

you asked for advice...buy the 62 ES335 for sale there instead...unless you've already pulled the trigger as this geetar shows up sold on their site.
