Suppose that depends on the use case for the 335. Straight up jazz then use them but if for blues/rock then probably not. His strings are gonna be hard to bend but if you're not doing that then use them.

I've got a Hendriksen. Not sure about best in breed but it works for what I do.

I find it very useful

I don't

Looks like a V/V, V, I in F based on that limited info. The G7 is a secondary dominant. This sequence is probably preceded by Dm7 or D7 so it's just back cycling through the circle of 5ths. It's the same way you'd play over the B section of rhythm changes.

UPDATE I just listened to the song, it is definitely not Fm and it's not D minor )if that is what you meant to type) it is F (though I could see where confusion might arise between F and Dm). I only saw one lead sheet for this but it showed the song centered around F6 which is like Dm7/F so maybe that's from where the confusion arises.

Uh, oh Bob Carey I see an L-4 purchase on the horizon

Not specific to a 175 but I think wooden bridge makes for a more mellow, softer sound. And I think rosewood would be more in that direction than ebony. I'll bet Rich Severson had done this on multiple guitars and can describe it better.

I've used wireless and had no problems but unless there's some pressing need for it, I'd rather rely on cables.
