What a beauty. I have the best of both worlds. My 350 has all the Lennon mods including the gold trc and pickguard. It's the early Lennon natural color and it's very playable. I can't handle that short neck on the 325 but you know after I play my Gretsch or Strat, the neck on the 350 seems short...I tried to post a photo but I don't know how to shrink it down below 500 x 500.

Bob, looking forward to the photos. I have the 325C58 in Mapleglo and Jetglo. I left the Mapleglo as is because that is how Lennon received it. It is hard to play with that Kauffman vibrato. I modified the jetglo to resemble the look it had in that finish. Much nicer to play. I like the short scale, although it took some getting used to. Gary at NCM took care of all the details before he shipped the jetglo model to me. He has been great to work with. I'm looking forward to the remaining issues.
