Hi Denise, I don't know how I missed this thread when it first started, so here's a belated welcome to the Ric forum from (I think), the only regularly-posting female here! This is a fun place to hang out; you'll learn a lot about Rics in a very short time....

I know you will like whatever Ric model you choose (I have many different ones and I love them all).... Someone already mentioned that if you have a small hand you might like the 325, which is a 3/4 scale model and a really fun and cool-looking guitar--I like to use mine when I know I will be playing songs with "reachier" chords that are harder to play on a full-scale model. I also have a 381 like the one that you liked in the previous pictures, and although it is a beautiful guitar I do not play it that often, because it seems really heavy to me (but it is so gorgeous that it makes my guitar-crazy friends drool, LOL!). I am 5'8" and of average build, and the 330 and 360 models are fine for me most of the time--in fact, my main electric is my 1967 vintage 365, which feels like it was custom-made for my hand--I have very slender fingers, and the super-thin neck feels like a dream to play for me.

Anyway, you may want to try a few different Rics if you get a chance, but you will probably fall in love with whatever you decide on. I got all of mine without trying them, thanks to eBay and a generous husband....now I'm a fanatical Ric Chick for life! Image That's what happens when you hang around here long enough!

Let us know what you decide on--I hope to see you around here more! Image

Welcome Denise, you've come to the right place!

Man, Paul has some of the best looking guitars and assistants I've ever seen...
