TBB, I have owned two 1997 Nashville Custom Shop 335 '59 reissues and both had necks that would not straighten out for low action. I had one refretted and neck straigtened by a luthier and sold it. The other I still have, though I am not satisfied with the action. It is a blonde with lots of flame and looks good on the wall. Also, on both of these models the neck joint is about 3/4 inch off from the traditional neck/body joint. The neck joins the body that much further out. Not a big deal, but interesting, since no 335's before or since have this deviance. That's my experience with '97 335's. I have a 2009 50th Anniversary '59 model made in Memphis and it is nearly perfect. Can't say enough good things about it.
