NGD '14 335

Got this one in from Tokyo last week, '59 Nashville '14 8lb 3oz with a fat neck .963 1st fret and 1.03 at the 12th with medium shoulders and a wider neck than my R6 and R8, so all in all a very good bit of beefiness in my left hand which is what I was after.
Have changed the pup covers(after this pic was taken) for some matte nickel ones and de-waxed the Custombuckers that are 7.98 neck and 7.88 bridge.
Will get a small respray job done to add a tad more burgundy red to the finish around the perimeter top and back, that'll warm her up a little.
It's got a good woody airy rich tone with a nice 'plunk' when I hit the strings........all I could ever want in a semi hollow.
First thought about a 335 50 years ago.............this one was definitely worth the wait:2cool

That sounds like a beefy neck. What nut width do you measure?

You're right with that, I'm not going to get it resprayed.
It's 1 11/16ths at the nut, so regulation size. As I go up the neck to the 12th and above it does widen, so more of a D shape neck than my two LPs, more shoulder.
