Last year this 335 went through a deceased estate auction. I didn't bid because I had a similar one at the time, and because of the god-awful heel repair. It went to a nice local chap who fitted the ex-GrantB Wizz pickups I'd sold him. A year later and another chap has it. The ugly heel is stable and the pickups sound great.
I can't believe the first guy left the posh pickups in there so once I saw it was up for sale cheap I grabbed it (I sold my old 335 a few months ago and regretted it). The heel will need tidying-up but in the mean time it's perfectly playable.
Congrats Brian. That heel repair doesn't look too bad in the photos.

Nice one Brian! 335 neck removals can be a real biatch. Looks like there's binding botches also? All doable of course...but all time and money too.
How do the Wizz sound in there? I couldn't quite get them to work for me.

It sounds very full. A/B with the SG it's a much bigger sounding guitar. Nice with mid gain.
