Black Walnut

Amazing work and design.
It all looks perfectly balanced, and I'm sure that anyone who isn't familiar with the original Laguna would think this had come straight from the factory.
Thanks for sharing.

That doesn't bother me at all - it's like a 335.

A 335's ramp is most definitely filled, in fact it's even more filled than with a regular tailpiece

I think John may have been referring to a Gibson 335.

Weird comparison if he does mean a Gibson 335, as it doesn't have a ramp.

Mmmmm! VERY nice! LOVE the 380s, and would have possibly gotten one rather than my 360 (which had a price and payment plan from zZounds.com, that I couldn't refuse!). You have any sound clips of your 380L in action? I've heard 650s, with the mini humbuckers, but have yet to hear a 380.

Thanks for the comments.

"Black Walnut" is packed and leaving for "MARF" later today.

Fancy that, I am bringing a couple of walnut basses with me.

Kevin brought this guitar by yesterday. It looks even better in person. Even with severe neuropothy I really liked the satin finish on the neck. Unfortunately due to an unforeseen amp problem we were unable to plug it in. (amp is now fixed). Hopefully I will get a chance to try it in the near future. The wider neck feels great.

In this forum or the RIC one, I recall John Hall saying something like he preferred the Glenn Frey guitar to most other RICs, presumably for it's sleek and simple design.

With the lacquered body, this has that same sleek look and economy of design. Beautiful. Very classy.

I think so too. More streamlined look.

I did; I just meant the amount of empty space though.
