Oh.. just saw someone already said this.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Going back to electrics, if you had a strat with a beautiful grained alder body, would you expect that to sound better than some plain or horrible looking body, with knots etc. ?
Two of these and a new mic.

EDIT are 59 Lesters valuable because they are rare or because the wood gives them a particularly desirable tone? It's likely to be a bit of both.

People can go on about wood and glue forever, a good guitar to you is still a good guitar, if 59's were made with balsa wood everyone would build with that
It's alot of hero worship too

Your original point was that the Natural 335's sound better, because they use the better looking wood, and they cover the rubbish looking ones with paint, and those ones sound worse as not so pretty wood doesn't sound as good.
So, taking the laminate thing out of the equation. Do you think a beautifully flamed/grained CS336 (carve top) is likely to sound better than a plainer one? I suggest that there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to think that it will.
Just thought I'd throw that spanner in the works!

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youA couple of years ago.
I think it was an R8.
So......unless a 335 has ever grabbed you like that, I would try to find that guitar (the nearest to that guitar).
Les Pauls are not an obvious safe choice (even when millions love them) because of that fat little body so the first question always has to be - are you a Les Paul guy.
He's buying and selling about 3 R8's per hour at the moment
