it looks interesting @boo I now know what Mark means when he says that the 335 is a completely different beast from either a solid or an archtop, despite being a hybrid of both. I think I might be in… Read more»

I haven’t yet ordered from Madinter. IIRC their shipping seemed steep and as I have the StewMax membership I haven’t yet bothered. I guess Madinter would be ideal if you wanted the SM buffer or Neck Jig for example.

@boo
well hairy jack hole certainly sounds funny 😄
I’ve seen this on Charvel’s and I really like it! I’m all about the straty jack plate and installing it out of the way and close to the strap. -
