I think it's a 615, Elys.

Remind me not to be around when she decides to do some serious kickin' with them boots on!! Image

It's either a 610 BT/VB or a 615 BT.... I call it a 615.

Those are my butt-kickin' boots....for that "wanna be a rock star" look. Image It's too bad they hurt my feet, 'cuz they'd be so cool to wear at a gig!

.... I actually did last summer's Fish Pic gig barefoot because it was so hot, LOL!

It's likely the former, Melissa. But calling it a 615 is much easier! Image

Hey Trotty!! Tasmania looks like it's slipped East. With any sort of luck it'll attach itself to New Zealand soon!!

Yeh, I actually lived in Melbourne for a year, from April 1984 to June 1985 Image Did a lot of sailing there.

I've done a lot of that myself, Elys! I have a Boomerang 21' trailer sailer that is usually moored at Blairgowrie during the summer.

Sadly it has to go....... this 'gee-tar stuff' has taken over my life!! Image

Lovely, Ken.... The color scheme looks identical to the 330 BT that I had to sell.... right down to the ding at the tip of the headstock, LOL!

Beautiful color, Ken! I have a mint 350v63 from 2005 that is this same color (before RIC darkened up their MID), and it just glows and glitters in sunlight (or in a nice 10,000K stage pin-beam spot) Image

That is the original Midnight Blue. These look almost purple in low light.

Melissa it has more than that one ding, they just don't show up in the photo. Also I blasted the R tail piece and bracket with glass beads and re-powdercoated them so that corrosion is now history.
