Model 345 Capri
Hi Doug,
Sounds like it's a 3 pick up, vibrato model, Capri maybe (double cutaway) or an F body (single cutaway)? Can you post a photo? Serial number 3V133 is an F body.
Whatever it is.......is it for sale
I love these early ones!

Looking at pictures in the register will help identify your guitar
http://www.rickresource.com/register/in ... celebrity=
It is likely a 345 or 375 Capri...
But it could also be a very rare F series.. You will see the difference in the pictures...
What colour is yours?

Re: Model 345 Capri
Doug told me that the guitar in a PM that his guitar is a 345 Capri.
"the color is partially natural wood and partially white(pearlish)
from what I've gathered it's a 1958 345 I want to get
new : pickguard, volume/tone knobs, vibrato, and nameplate plaque"
Sounds really cool, I would love to see some pictures. Sounds like it may have been refinished from its original colour
