Genuinely don't think it needs it, it just sounds good as it is.

Re: 335 copies: best bang for the buck?
I am not a huge fan of the 335 either !
(...I love, W. ALL MY HEART, the ES-125's)
So, do look into the Schecter Corsair's ! (new $660.00, used, even less, and they come with fully blown SD pu's as standard !
Also do NOT forget about the hollow body Gretsch Electromatic's !!!
Not 335 twin cut-a-way, but a Gretsch none the less !!!

Re: 335 copies: best bang for the buck?
I would NEVER ebay one of these. Sound and feel can really range.
For maximum cheap - you'll laugh: epiphone studio DOT. However, most are only ok. every now and again I'll hit a great one though. 3 bills new!
More likely to find quality with an Ibanez for 3-4 or so. But again, you gotta play a few.
My personal choice, Max performance for the money: Used sheraton. Can't beat it Many are great! 400 plus
After that they get more expensive and the cost/performance bonus just falls away......

Re: 335 copies: best bang for the buck?
Just took a peek at what M-Friend had to offer in the Schecter Corsair model and found a pretty good price there
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Schecter-CORSAIR-Electric-Guitar-?sku=512137
It even comes with a Bigsby, which could be pretty cool. I think I might go to the local Guitar Center store with a copy of the M-F ad and see what they got. They'll match anything in price if they have it in stock, and I know they sell Schecter. I have a Schecter C-1 Classic and know they use good materials to build their guitars. Time to do some comparing, but I'll still keep an eye out for a really good Korean or MIJ Sheraton.

Whelp, I'd love to get a Hamer Newport for about $900-$1000 used, but that Yamaha looks pretty doable too. This really great Jazz/rock player used to come to our open jams a few years back with one of those Yamaha's and he sounded every bit as good as he played...Which was, Very.
