The body of the 335 is constructed from pressed plywood. I have chosen solid tonewoods that are hand carved to the same definition as left by the press.

The center sections on both the top and back are left solid and the remainder is carved out as thin as an archtop. A solid wood block connects the top and back down the middle of the interior.

The humbucking pickups (on the blue example – it’s a Gibson ’57 Classic at the neck and – ’57 – Plus at the bridge; both with tapped coils) are wired to a 5 lever switch where the options are the same as the 5 positions on the PRS rotary switch. Thus 5 sounds instead of 3. The switch, coupled with the master volume and master tone, is easily accessible just below the bridge.

The output jack (on the front of the 335) has been relocated to the lower bout side and is flush mount.

Unprecedented access is afforded through the small oval access hole cut into the back. The cover is the cutout.

Body, f-holes, fingerboard and headcap bound in single WBW celluloid.

Same carbon fiber / truss rod setup as in the archtops.

Sperzel locking tuners.

Ebony pick guard, trimmed in WBW celluloid (not shown in picture).
