Not late enough though. No UPS delivery yet. Based on my experience, it could be several more hours.
My inspection may have to wait until tomorrow since it is cold here and I won't risk opening the box too soon.

Sounds like we need to plan a Christmas lunch.

The 330S arrived but will remain in the case and box overnight.
I did get some information from Ben Hall about these guitars and am posting it here with his permission:
"The bodies for these guitars were left over from the UK Pearl Whites we made last Spring. The wood grain was too nice to paint over, so I kept them aside intending to make a special edition with them.
It has a 350 neck and X bracing inside. The body is the same spec, sans binding, that we made for Tom Petty last Spring. For the very first time, we especially lasered the guards to fit and painted them with our JG paint, which I think looks a lot deeper than black colored plastic. The nameplates that were put on these are among the very last ones we had in our old warehouse stores as well.
Only 15 were made."
Ken, Sounds like a good idea. I will be in contact soon about when we can do this.
