Wahhhhay...oh yeah, Howard! ConRickulations. Welcome to the 350v63MB Slinky-Neck club.

You must produce pretty pictures presently, please.

Thanks, J.O.B. It's in the US at present, so I probably won't be able to post any pics until it gets to the pickup point, but here's a sniff:

Yes, I saw that auction and considered picking the guitar up for my very own self. If it ended up coming my way I would have asked Paul W. to do an f-hole on that puppy. Any possibility of you doing that?

Ah, and it's been Susanna'd to boot! Great score, Aitch.

Thanks, Lou and John. It's pretty likely that the 350 will be my 'touring' guitar during my upcoming US/Canada/UK trip rather than the 330 I have waiting for me.

Just sorting out the the shipping with the seller.......

Aitch, fine lookin' 350V! Gotta love the color. However, I'm still a little partial to a 330 in the same finish.

Thanks, Stan. As you know, there will now be 2 MB beauties to paw when I arrive in SF. I'm looking forward to seeing them both. The 330 will have gold TRC and guards as well as either vintage or oven knobs, so I reckon it will look pretty special!

Candidly, my first intention was to buy a 350 in MB, but alas, it turned out to be a 330. Both look spectacular, and should fit nicely in your growing family of Ricks.
I sometimes pine for the 330, but other guitars (names being withheld) came a knockin'.

CONGRATULATIONS, AITCH!!!!

That sure is one BEAUUUUTIFUL guitar!

Can't wait to see it/play it in person!

Aitch, I'm late discovering this thread. What a tasty looking guitar. It's comforting to know that, whilst I was otherwise detained on a plane, a fellow Aussie Forumite was busy workin' the BIN button!

Good onya mate. Nice score!

Congratulations Howard. A 350 at 35, sounds just about right. I'll need a 600 series before you know it.

Thanks again, all! It's now paid for and will shortly be winging it's way to Paul in SF.

No BIN button involved, Darren. A nervous last 30 seconds on ebay.... Brian made me do it!!

You'll get your chance in about 7 weeks, Melibee..... looking forward to it immensely!

A sad day for you Aitch, when you have to offload some of your beloved ricks,as i remember the trepidation when selling my Burgundy320,....but alas, i know SOMEBODY who will give one a great new home,..and not too far away from you!
Thats a great looking 350MB, guess we here in Oz will be waiting a few months to see that baby!
Well done!
