I bought the last satin finish 235 and couldn’t be happier. Yes there was sawdust in the bag but that was not an issue for me. Out of the box the setup was good but conservative. I put my brand of string and my setup on it and wow. I used to own a 56 125 and this neck is spot on. Alittle thicker than my 70’s Paul and 345 but very playable.I play loud rock tuned a whole step down. This thing just said ok whatever. I would recommend this. I was looking for that mid ground between a Paul and a 335 and this thing fits perfectly.Only complaint is gig backs suck. I’ll be buying a case and apparently the 339 case fits..
