From a post on Facebook, it also seems that GC in Fairfax has a 1972 330 in Azureglo as well! That perked my interest right away...

Yup... A bit on the pricy side though... Note the binding on the neck - an early 70s quirk.

The Edina store is indeed a dealer. They have two or three hanging on the wall in the 'expensive' electric room.

I wonder if the GH Code stands for August 1967 - perhaps this is the specific guitar they are copying?
The George Harrison link is implied only!

Neat, good call Jake.
The 381/12v69 FG's aren't exactly flying off shelves, are they? Hmm...

Stubby headstock ruins it for me (shown with Kevin's 1993 v63 for reference)
