Well, I did it again!  Here is my new Limited Release ES-330:

Just a plain head stock:

And the back

I picked it up used but you wouldn't know it.  Someone sold this to Guitar Center in Cincinnati, OH on Christmas Eve.  They originally purchased it from Sweetwater because the checklist was still in the case.  The only problem I found was that the nut slots were cut too low.  I don't know if it came from the factory that way or the previous owner lowered them.  I used the superglue/bone dust trick to raise the slots.  I purchased a set of the nut files that Greg Voros recommends and re-cut them to the proper height.  It plays like a dream now!

p.s. My daughter got a nice DSLR camera for Christmas so I borrowed it to take more professional looking pictures.  If I could just get the creases out of my backdrop it may look like I know what I'm doing!  :)

Your wife has a great idea. Opens up the prospect for more enhancements of the 6 string variety. Nice catch!
