Great colour - but the 335 needs diamond soundholes like my Trini Lopez to complete the transfromation from blues legend to Vegas glitterati....

Yup, I think so.
It must have been a custom order. I think it's the only one like it to surface anywhere.

Meh.... not fussed about the light blue sparkle. To me an ES-335 screams red, black or tobacco sunburst.
So I'm a traditionalist..... shoot me!!

I like sparkle guitars myself, but to me it looks a bit odd on a 335 (which was the "stripped down" version of the ES semi hollow series even though it became the most popular).
If you want to sparkle up one of these babies I think it would look better on the ES-355, the big Granddaddy of the series with big block neck inlays, split diamond headstock, 5 layer binding on the body and headstock, variatone knob, and a big gold vibrato tailpiece.
Look out White Falcon!

If I'd show you a picture of the back of the headstock it would say CS##### - a definite custom order... wait, what have we here? Oh, picture of the back of the headstock?

He was saying the Pelham Casino was custom ordered.
