The year for the 325/12v63 is 1999.

Peter, interesting...why do you say that?

Bill: I am not sure how complete or detailed list you want. I was thinking it would be good to distinguish the 320S and 325S models with f-holes from the Rose Morris models for example. Perhaps I have missed the point of your list in the first place.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

No, not at all Peter--I think I understand what you're saying now. On the spreadsheet I've been playing with, I list F-holes as a characteristic, and then for models that came with and without, like the 320 and 325, identify them as some or optional. I just list the 1996RM and RI as "yes". I can send you a copy if you'd like, might be useful as a reference here for the site.

Model 350 - made in August, 1991 - Typical Model 350 that was originally Midnight Blue w/ black hardware. Most of the black hardware, including the black "R" tailpiece was missing when I got it, so it's now Midnight Blue w/chrome + white pickguards. It has the typical 3 high-gain pu's, a Bigsby vibrato, and chrome Schallers. I also replaced the black, knurled strap buttons with chrome Rickenbacker Schaller straplock ones. I tried to keep it as original as possible, but so much of the black hardware was missing, it'd be difficult to replace it all. Personally, I think chrome looks 100 times better. A nice touch - someone replaced the black TRC with a nice vintage-reissue "clear" white one, so I'm plenty stoked!! The Bigsby stays in tune so well, even with use, I must be dreaming. It's the ONLY 350 I've EVER seen in Midnight Blue. Bought it at Guitar Center here in southern California.
