Stunning Ruby, Ned. IIRC, the guy from the Smithereens rocked out on one just like it at RIC's 75th anniversary show at the HOB. I could be wrong...It might have been a 360, but either way...what a sweet guitar!

I also have an '89 Ruby (4003S/5) as well as an '87 (4003S).

What's cooler than Ruby?

Nothin!!!

IIRC, wait time is 18 months for a newly-ordered 381.

I would order one as well, but what I REALLY want to order is a Ruby 360/12 C63. . . . I hope there's some ugly-grained or plain-jane-grained maple that shows up at RIC in the near future. . . . :)
There is no reason to ever be bored.

...why yes, I suppose I do have a double bound guitar fetish...

I might have my eye on a Ruby 360/12C63, too. That would be my third 12'er! :shock:

Ruby in a 620/6 would solve two problems- 1. My need for ruby 2. My need for a solidbody ric!

Hey Craig,

I was lucky enough to get THE 381 that was on display at the NAMM Show on February 23rd from POTR. It's magnificent.

Ben Hall says that lots of Ruby will be shipping in April, so it may be (hopefully) a very short wait.

Well then, call a dealer and order one, it is the only way to get a new one.

Your wait will be a long one, then.
