My 66 330 12 and 74 30 12

Post by billydlight »

Notice the 74 has 60's apptments and is practically identical to the 66. Both Amazing sounding and playing. Tho the 66 is the absolute king. But if you played the 74 first you'd think it was the best one you ever played, then you pick up the 66 and nirvana!!!

Note the headstock shapes: Identical

It had Hi-Gains but I took them out and put in some other Toasters in an HB case I had laying around. No alterations necessary!

Mighty tasty looking Billy! 8) They make my 2009 mapleglo 360 look downright plain by comparison. I have a question. Are your 330s your main guitars (and not the Gretsch)?

Billy, the photo of you and the Guild is killer. I love it when the photographer puts the camera on stun. :)
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm
