I recently had in my hand a 74/75 335 and was really impressed by it. Frankly, sounded really great. Beefy neck, good weight, lots of clarity and punch. Sadly it wasn't for sale.
I'm no expert on 70s 335s, but I did pick out a few specs here and there: three piece neck with a volute, trapeze tailpiece, nylon saddles. No idea what the pickups were, they were humbuckers ofc with regular chrome covers and original to the guitar.
I'm expecially curious about the neck, because I though all three pieces were maple necks, but this definitely looked like mahogany to me. Is it possible or am I mistaken?
Any distinctive characteristic to these year 335 that I should keep in mind if I were to look for a similiar one around?
Thanks a lot.
