Like your Purpleburst, Melibee, this is one of my never-sell guitars, and it's about to get an overhaul!

I assume we can include 335 and 345 models under this banner? After all, they're just 330 and 340s with vibratos Image

Here at the Fatboys, '60 345F and '60 335F:-

A '59 335 Capri:-

Image

A '66 335 with unusual, but original, Fireglo finish. Maybe the apprentice was on duty in the spray booth that day:-

That last one looks like some of the Fireglo that came out in the late '90's.

That's a super cool 340 you have, Paul. It's finish looks like a very mellow Fireglo. Gotta love the 21 fret neck, too. Image

Beautiful Rics!

Paul, I agree with Darren.... that looks like a deep fireglo that has ambered beautifully over time.

The oven knobs are better, IMO....

Monty is such a pretty color....

Happy B Day Trotty.

A June 25th birthday,,,isn't that funny how that's the direct opposite of a Christmas (December 25th) birthday. (yet another sign)....
