Cool. This year I bought two 320s, an '80 and an '83.

The '83 came with toasters on it.

I'm not surprised at 1/2 the price!!!!

Glenn: Both my '80 320 BG and '80 620/12 FG came with small headstocks and nickel Kluson tuners. Another nice detail is the correct rounded neck heel on both guitars. Just like the 60's guitars!

Cool, Randy. I bought an '80 620/12 this year, too.

My brother just got a 1996 from Mike Parks yesterday.
The comment coming from the fussiest guitar person I've ever met was "Rick nailed this one!".

Would love to see more of that BG, Randy.

I bought two refinned 320s in '05, an 83 with vintage Grovers that someone appears to have put toasters on (don't think they were stock.) It was originally JG but painted something like MB (one form of it anyway.) I stripped it myself and shipped it to Dale F. to bring it back to JG (when I stripped it the original JG was still underneath.) Dale will deliver that to me at the NAMM show.

The other is an '81 that was refinned JG, and had the tuners changed. I will strip that. I'm interested to see what's under it. It will also go to Dale for some sort of factory spec. refin. I have stock tuners for it. The JG that's on it is pretty crummy. I may just go with JG as the tuners were changed, not sure.
