You want help, Brett??? I can surely help...... I've got 13 and I'm looking to offload 3 or 4 of them......

Does that help?

Good point, Richard.... I guess I'm talking 350 vs 350v63, but I'd want a 21 fretter.... were they ever made?

Haha, Newton's Third Law.

That wasn't really the intent of my cry for help but now that you mention it.

What ya got?

Brett, I'll vouch for Aitch and his absolute resolution to get his hands on a SH....you'd absolutely make his year!

The 1997 sounds interesting but the SH is following me to the grave.

I've made a conscious decision to never let go of any of my LE Ricks. Unless a 335F or something similar was on offer.

Sorry Aitch.

No worries, Brett. I don't know anyone who would sell their SH unless dire circumstances prevailed. If you'd like to talk about the 1997 my email address is in my profile.

I think Brian Medway and possibly Melissa would be more resolute than me, Alisha. I'm happy with v63s if no SH comes my way.

I thought about having my latest Hoffs refinished that is, until I cleaned it up a bit. It looks practically brand new! The old Scratch-X & Zymol treatment really works. I wouldn't mind having a Hoffs style 350 in a different finish though. Metallic Silver-blue? BBR? Shaded Green? Gold Sparkle?

You look better than you did last September, Dean....... those pills seem to be working!!

Nice FG on that one, too....... the guitar, that is!

Hey Brett, where in Aus are you? Is your 350SH the one from ebay a few months back?
Oh, welcome aboard, from the rest of us ozzies!

Greg, I got it from the US probably about 5 months ago or so. It cost a fortune but I just had to have it - I am sure everyone has been there before

I've also managed to jag a 660TP Jetglo and a 230GF.

I live in Sydney.

Thanks for the welcome

If i recall correctly, yours,or should i say, the same item, was involved in a scam auction running at the same time! A Canadian ebayer was using the exact same ad, i emailed you to make sure you weren't getting conned! Does that ring any bells Brett?
Next time you're in Melbourne, get in touch!

Thanks Howard, the pills are indeed working. I have gone from a proper flesh complexion to a much more fashionable pasty look.

It does have a nice FG for a more recent model year doesn't it? Matches my pirate bandana, arrrghh! Still, I love 350s. Did I say how much I love 350s?

"Monty Brown 350v63"

Aitch, I didn't know the HB1 pickups were available in 1963 - am I missing something?

ozover50 · Post by **ozover50** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 4:45 pm

I would reckon not, John. The guy I purchased it from on US ebay had swapped the bridge toaster for a HB. The toaster was shipped with the guitar, so I can swap it back if desired. He also had the wiring modified so that when the two volume controls are backed off completely the 5th knob becomes a master volume control.... quite handy indeed!

The HB gives it some nice 'grunt' when switched in.
