You want help, Brett??? I can surely help...... I've got 13 and I'm looking to offload 3 or 4 of them......
Does that help?
Good point, Richard.... I guess I'm talking 350 vs 350v63, but I'd want a 21 fretter.... were they ever made?

Brett, I'll vouch for Aitch and his absolute resolution to get his hands on a SH....you'd absolutely make his year!

The 1997 sounds interesting but the SH is following me to the grave.
I've made a conscious decision to never let go of any of my LE Ricks. Unless a 335F or something similar was on offer.
Sorry Aitch.

No worries, Brett. I don't know anyone who would sell their SH unless dire circumstances prevailed. If you'd like to talk about the 1997 my email address is in my profile.
I think Brian Medway and possibly Melissa would be more resolute than me, Alisha. I'm happy with v63s if no SH comes my way.

I thought about having my latest Hoffs refinished that is, until I cleaned it up a bit. It looks practically brand new! The old Scratch-X & Zymol treatment really works. I wouldn't mind having a Hoffs style 350 in a different finish though. Metallic Silver-blue? BBR? Shaded Green? Gold Sparkle?

Hey Brett, where in Aus are you? Is your 350SH the one from ebay a few months back?
Oh, welcome aboard, from the rest of us ozzies!

Greg, I got it from the US probably about 5 months ago or so. It cost a fortune but I just had to have it - I am sure everyone has been there before
I've also managed to jag a 660TP Jetglo and a 230GF.
I live in Sydney.
Thanks for the welcome

If i recall correctly, yours,or should i say, the same item, was involved in a scam auction running at the same time! A Canadian ebayer was using the exact same ad, i emailed you to make sure you weren't getting conned! Does that ring any bells Brett?
Next time you're in Melbourne, get in touch!

Thanks Howard, the pills are indeed working. I have gone from a proper flesh complexion to a much more fashionable pasty look.
It does have a nice FG for a more recent model year doesn't it? Matches my pirate bandana, arrrghh! Still, I love 350s. Did I say how much I love 350s?

"Monty Brown 350v63"
Aitch, I didn't know the HB1 pickups were available in 1963 - am I missing something?

I would reckon not, John. The guy I purchased it from on US ebay had swapped the bridge toaster for a HB. The toaster was shipped with the guitar, so I can swap it back if desired. He also had the wiring modified so that when the two volume controls are backed off completely the 5th knob becomes a master volume control.... quite handy indeed!
The HB gives it some nice 'grunt' when switched in.
