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?

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'.

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!
