nickel hardware and wider nut seals it. That's definitely one to get.

the two 65 epis I have (plus the one I have bought for my nephew) have very comfortable 1 10/16" nuts ... the casino may even be 1 21/36"
relaxing alternative to doing actual work ...

The nut on the '67 casino I tried actually felt wider than 1 9/16". Maybe it was :-)
It played so much better than my two ex- 68' 335s.

Ooh, can't wait for the pics. I do love 330's.

And Despot has the best taste in guitars I'm beginning to think... ;D

Trade. Trade. Trade. Trade.

I have a '59 ES-225TD and it's such a great guitar. Amazing P-90 pickups, perfect chunky 59 neck...

I'm not really into 330's due to them being hollow...too easily induced to feedback.
However they do look lovely with the black dog-eared P90's, and I DO love P90's.

But...given that you already have a 345 that you love, the 355 does seem a bit redundant.
