It's what the tone control is for. Regarding the 330, I've never played one, but have played a Casino which is essentially the same thing. They sound different to a 335, but not different enough really. It sounds a bit more open and is a little brighter.
P90's and hollow is different to a 335 imo.
It didn't take long to justify getting one alongside the others
330's are great, I would say a 335 is much closer to a solid body than a 330. On lowish blues gain they can go to decent band volumes. I love the thinline hollow body format, I wish there were more types of this guitar (like the Peerless Rennaisance - a hollow thinlie HB guitar). Acoustically they sound far jazzier than a semi.
They sound fine at home and record very well, but they really come alive at gig volume, with a depth and chime you won't get out of any of your other guitars.
Check for dead notes though, some do suffer from this.
I've not only had my mind changed, but I've been on the look-out for one ever since...
Actually, the FB can be great fun and a nice addition to your tone. It does require some careful muting and choice of material though. But Don't take my word for it though as BOSS even have a dedicated FB pedal for those unlucky enough to have boring old solid guitars...
My Hofner has monophonic HBs AND no center block and delivers the sweetest, bluesiest to darn right knarliest cries of angst
You've helped me get to a decision and even more importantly, provided me the leverage to persuade the Management Comittee that I can get just one more guitar past Her
My 330 (Actually a Heritage H530) is now on it's way! - NGD ahoy!
I don't think Heritage ever did one with the 16th fret join, but they are at least built as they were back in '58
