i was a bit surprised to see that style of tailpiece though, but looking it up, sure enough, it's period-correct. i had thought it was a trapeze for the 335 in 1959.
i'd bet this guitar goes right up to the top of your list!

Strangely, the 335 was one of the reasons,that I hung up playing electric for so long and switched over to classical. The bands I was playing with did fairly large venues and to keep up on volume, my amps went from a super reverb to a twin reverb and then finally an acoustic 360 with 2-4x12s cabs. I had to play it so loud that the tone just went away. It got to be to frustrating. Now I play through dinky little amps and if need, they get miked.
And you are right, this one gets the seat of honor. It was more than I should've spent on another guitar,but I guess that's the point of working. You can't take it with you.
