Yep

Nope. 350.

The sum of the parts equal a 350 (325-style body with normal scale neck), but which parts are from a 350? The neck has 24 frets (350's have 21) and the pickup spacing isn't consistent with the 350v63.

The neck is 24 frets so you can't just keep the same bridge location on a body designed for a 21 fret neck and expect proper intonation. The pickups have to be moved accordingly. The body was built on a production run of 350's in May 2011 with a swamp ash spread I acquired from a prospective lumber vendor.

Actually, there are no 350 parts at all- it's made up entirely from other models.

Which model does the neck on the 350V63 come from?

Remember this special 12 string?
