Very nice Steven. Congrats on acquiring a great looking guitar at a good price.

I think you used the perfect indirect lighting for those pics. It really captures the blue/blue/blue of the Blueburst!

Nice pics! :D

I'm not sure if it's such a good deal when converted to $$$ but considering some shops are selling new 330's in the UK for £1500 ($2480) and they generally cost around £1200 average price now, £850 doesn't seem bad.

Everything in the UK seems to be almost twice the price than in the US, take this example (going slightly off topic...): My car (Toyota Yaris) cost £11,000 ($18,150) but in the US the MSRP is $12,205 (£7400), somehow I have to pay 4 grand more :shock:

Congrats Steven!
That was a great buy !

I like to think getting any quality guitar for under a grand is good. :D

I wanted to mention something...my frets are blue, is it normal for frets to be oversprayed with the body colour? You can see it on the first pic I posted, the frets match the light blue on the centre of the body. I think it looks quite nice :)
