Post by TheWonders »

Is the Susanna Hoffs 350 the only 350 model with 24 frets?

350's had 24 frets until the early '90's, I wanna say '93 or so.

The 350 Liverpool (24 frets) was replaced by the 350v63 (21 frets).

I have a new 350v63 w/ 21 frets. Is there any tonal difference between mine and the 24 fret?

Yes. The neck pickup is placed differently plus most 24 fret 350's that I have seen had high gain pickups.

The prototype 350V63 and 350/12V63 had 24 frets...I wonder if there are any examples of them around...
