However, I am curious as to how you 335 owners and fans actually refer to your guitars verbally. In the UK we have a tendency to call them 'three three fives' whereas in the US it seems to be 'three thirty-five'. I know this is a pretty pointless exercise, but I would love to read your thoughts. I prefer the 'three three five' option because it sounds to me to be more like a model number, whereas 'three thirty-five' makes me think of the next Greyhound bus leaving Kalamazoo!
Not sure why, but always thought them as 'three three fives'.

Surely in UK, it would be the next National Express bus leaving Victoria for Birmingham
