SHORT SCALE ONE OFFS!!!

Here is a group shot I found of three of them before they went their seperate ways.

Left to Right are the 315 FG (#3), the 325 BB (#1), and the 310 MB (#2).

Here are some pics of the 320 MB (#6) before and after the 4 to 2 knob conversion:

This is the 325 FG (#7):

Here is a link to a pic of the 325 BB that Mike Parks has on his site:

PM Blues had the 325/6 MG with the Maple body for a while, I handled it at a show once.....pretty heavy by 325 standards.

Yes, my maple 12er is quite heavy for a 325, too...not a featherweight like a stock C58.

I recognize those three.

Me too. Did I own three of them? Memory is ...fuzzy.

That's a really good look! The blue boy color is so subtle and classy with the gold covers.

Is this another 12 string or is it Kevin's one? It looks like a photo from Mike Parks, and the fretboard doesn't look maple like Kevin's Fireglo 310/12.

Same guitar with the original rosewood fretboard.

Paul W. needed to replace the original fretboard with a new one to help correct a slight twist in the neck. I decided to go with a custom birdseye maple board and I think it it worked out well.

Ahah... that makes sense

This one isn't one of the 10, but it is a special 320c58. It started out as an ugly duckling, languishing in a Guitar Centre store because of it's unusual 'loud' grain. I ended up buying it during the famous clearout years ago and decided to have a '58 style soundhole added to offset the look of the grain. This hole was carefully cut using a template off Larry Wassgren's '58 325, and hence is the exact size and shape of an original. I'm not sure if the 'f' holes on these NT specials are cut this way.

Originally I had a 2 pot loom fitted to the 320 with the soundhole, but I ended up sending that plate to Freddy Rice who fitted it to one of the NT specials. It's now on #6 - 320/6 Montezuma Brown with Maple body.

Very nice Paul, my compliments on a beautiful guitar.

I'm a fairly avid Fender fan--I've made no effort to hide that here, ...but as much as I like those guitars, I don't think there's anything really more beautiful, or simplistically sexy than the 325/350 double-cut body shape. I remember being stunned that style of guitar wasn't included in the 75th Anni series, as when I think of Ric, I think of that little double-cut. Small, concise and stylishly understated IMHO.

Your 1-off is exceptionally well-done.

Another one to add. Not one of the 'test bodies', but a specially enhanced c58.
