This guitar came into my favourite local vintage shop (capsulemusic.com).



I think it went for close to $3000 CDN. Apparently it was super clean. The guy who put it up for consignment purchased it from the original owner who still had the receipt

Looks pretty good...Looks like the bridge is on backwards. And what's with the toasters?

Are the toasters not original? Or do you mean the way they're mounted?

David, I can't tell for sure (with the photo glare) but it looks like they have been partially disassembled. And the bottom one doesn't appear to match the one at the neck. But I'm no expert on toasters.

This is what a toaster should look like. You can see the body (fingerboard actually) of the guitar through the toaster at the neck of the 330 pictured. At least it appears that way to me.

Nope, Stan--look again. It's merely the glare from the yellowish lighting source in the photo on the semi-gloss black plastic of the toaster slot. Nothing wrong with that pup.

Right I see what you mean. I'm wondering if it's just the glare from the flash. I didn't take the picture so I'm not really sure.

The lighting is weird, Paul. On the lower p/u it almost looks like the lower 3 strings are running under the pickup as well as above it. Some photography just doesn't do justification to the subject (no offense, Dave, if you took the pix)

What was the amount shown on the original bill of sale? I bought a 335 in 1966 and I think I paid $285.00 w/ohsc, memory has faded with time now I guess.

Looks like 270 something with a payment made and a balance due of 245 and change. (on the upper sales slip)
