the necks went real narrow post '65 as far as I know, apparently, '64 is the last
really desirable year

The 64' 12 string I played had a really, really nice neck. Just so comfortable. Not too thick, not too thin, just in between and comfortable. And the string spacing for the 12 strings was very nice compared to the old 12 string Rick I played right before it.... :-\

Yep. I played that one a couple weeks ago too, and fuck me sideways did it ever play. I've never played an electric 12 that felt like that. The price seems reasonable too.
Unfortunately I was back in yesterday and it was sold.

And I also played that Ric you were talking about right after it, and it was a total dog! +1

from my personal experience the key to a good 335 is the size of the neck. big, fat neck es335s stay in tune better and i swear they sound better too!
Bitch to play, though.
