Holy Jeezus that is a bloody stunner
Over the last year while hunting around for one there were some great looking '17s in the USA and in Japan, maybe 3 or 4. They were in the Sunsetburst
finish and looked outstanding, also cherry which is what I was initially after however they all had bigsbys. My one is a plain jane by comparison but has pretty much the neck profile that I wanted.
Touche with your one badger, just like mine.
I don't know how many were made between '13-'18(the Mike Voltz era) when Memphis closed its doors, got a question about that in with Mat Koehler at CS.
However there does seem to be a pattern in the finishes year to year from the ones I've seen.
An update.
Mat Koehler at Gibson said that as many as 5-6k 330s could have been made at the Memphis facility 2012-18, a goodly number.
Based on that the quantities of 335s etc would have been huge. I saw one '18 335 at the Rockshop in August '19................
