Vintage examples seem to command higher prices than (the originally more expensive) 345 and 355 variants.

Reissues are the same.
I've got a few. See photo below. The Trini Lopez and cherry 335 no longer with me. Still to post their replacements right enough.
As Richardhomer said, the 330 is fully hollow. The neck is not shorter, it's set further into the body. Actually it's not a very good arrangement as the shape of the lower horn it makes access to frets above 17/18 very difficult.
335, 345 and 355 all have maple centre blocks and Humbuckers, though Gibson has just introduced some 335 alike with P90's. GuitarGuitar had them on "sale" recently.
345 and 355 have the Varitone which is simply a tone network and depending on your views it has uses or not. They are "stereo" output which is simply the neck and bridge pickups are on separate "outs". Modern versions have mono too I believe, Vintage don't and the pickups are out of phase, so it can be a blessing or a pain depending on your amp, the setup you want etc.
355 has an ebony board and "custom" headstock.
330 is back left, 335 front left, 355 front second left, 345 front 3rd left.
Back middle is a "Trini Lopez" which is simply a 335 with a fancy headstock, front right is a 347 which again is a 335 with later 70's / 80's styling mine is all maple with an Ebony board.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
To be equally pedantic, but prove I'm correct ... check the photos below. 330 on top, 345 underneath. With the nuts exactly on top of each other, the necks are indeed the same length. It's the body that's set forward, if you like, on the 330. In fact the ABR on a 330 is exactly where the stop tail would be on a 335.
