381/12V69 FG in Germany

Post by HorseMountain »

Hi everybody, just received serial # 0033862 (German ebay purchase). This is not my first Ric, I used to own a 325 back in the early 1990s but later sold it - I'm sort of a big guy, and frankly, the tiny short-scale guitar looked a bit out of place on me. The 381 is a much better fit :)
Pics from the auction:

Looks good to me! Sound, I have yet to try once I get home and plug'er in. But I'm confident I'm gonna be just fine :)

BTW, the previous owner already registered that guitar (item 34903) as a collected item. From here on out it will be anything but, I will free her from the blue velvet cage and expose her to some serious picking!

I just found out from the previous owner that they bought the guitar in 2013 off a vintage dealership in Switzerland (www.bj-music.ch - maybe not the most fortunate choice of acronym ;))
The guitar looks virtually unplayed, the previous owner had to resell it due to a serious heart condition that forced him to stop playing.

I am sure the music shop owner always keeps his head up and is on the ball (when it comes to fine instruments). 8)

If you ask Peter or Gil they will assign the register entry to you for this guitar.

Congrats on getting another RIC! :D :D

I had a blueburst 381/12 for quite a while and loved it. I think you're going to enjoy that guitar. Plus they are so beautiful. And you're 381/12 has really great wood. Beauty. Nice find. Enjoy. :D :D
