And not the electronics, you could hear it in the body. The Memphis models were brighter and thinner and mine was noticeably darker,thicker and toneful. I played 3 different ones, two (newer) Memphis and one 1999 Nashville before buying. Did yours? I consider that period to be of the most beautiful 335s ever as well as reasonable. (and the Britt profiles)Many of those in that last Nashville era (for regular production) came with an unusual beautiful tiger stripe flame finish. I play marshal profiles from MBritt and they sound amazing.
