My Kaufmann is for looks. It's pinned. I originally was going to go with an accent, but the Kaufmann looks more vintage.

The Mapleglo ones have spectacular wood graining, if that's your thing. Bob's price is darned good. Incidentally, as these get older, they appreciate quite nicely.

One in Blueburst would be pretty fantastic.

There has been a fair bit said here about the very different, and beautiful I might add, look of the Model 381.

I would be interested in hearing a little more from Model 381 owners as to the difference in sound and playability between this instrument and the 330 and 360 models.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm
