any love for a 381v69?

[lars]

I don't play it much. I'm a bass player. But I like to look.

[JakeK]

They remind me too much of John Kay. They are cool guitars, but I've never seen or played one. I'm more of a Rose Morris person myself... Ooh...a 381 with f-hole! How cool would that be?

[Woodie]

Wow! What a great idea! I've NEVER heard about or seen one of those. Hmmm...

That's Eric B, RIC's finish maestro.

ah, right. Too many dang Erics! yeesh...


Cheers,

They made a few Capri 380's with f-holes...this is a 384:

[sloop_john_b]

German carve, too. Cool guitar!

[paologregorio]

It is cool, but I think the choice of an F-hole sort of puts the brakes on the models otherwise sleek and speedy styling look; a slash soundhole just fits and complements the guitar's shape better.

[jingle_jangle]

Note also the very subtle and soft German carve on that 384. It almost gets lost in the dark edge of the burst.

[Rickygirl]

Oh wow, I really want a 381.

I have not played one, so I think it would be heavy for me, but nothing a wide padded strap couldn't help with. Anyway, I have one planned as my next guitar.....in about 2020 the way I am going!!

[kevro2000]

I have one, and it is absolutely marvelous. The weight doesn't bother me at all, its gorgeous, very playable and I'm keeping it.

[goofyfoot]

Yeah, there's lotsa love over here for one. Got a line on a special one, which may become available for purchase down the road a ways. Demo'd a couple in the last four months and I find it much to my liking. I live vicariously through those who own a 381V69. Peace, out.....Goofyfoot.

[Rickygirl]

Does that mean you are adding it to your collection David (Oh Great Philosopher of RRF)? You lucky thing.

I am jealous. WANT!!!!!!

[goofyfoot]

Are you serious, Paul?!? Are you serious, man? Whew, that 'Zuma Brown is simply stunning ---- sublime! Thanks for sharing the pic. I took one of my fave straps and attached it to a 381V69 at a local store the other day. Connected it to a VOX tube amp, remained standing for 25-30 minutes fooling around with it, and it didn't seem overly heavy. Uh-oh.....

Peace, out.......Goofyfoot.

Someday I'll get my 381v69/12...

Going to put gold/tort plastic on when I get it...maybe I'll do a dark two-tone brown refinish:
