Peter, interesting...why do you say that?

Bill: I am not sure how complete or detailed list you want. I was thinking it would be good to distinguish the 320S and 325S models with f-holes from the Rose Morris models for example. Perhaps I have missed the point of your list in the first place.

No, not at all Peter--I think I understand what you're saying now. On the spreadsheet I've been playing with, I list F-holes as a characteristic, and then for models that came with and without, like the 320 and 325, identify them as some or optional. I just list the 1996RM and RI as "yes". I can send you a copy if you'd like, might be useful as a reference here for the site.

Just added the the guitar section today. 350/12V63 Lefty
production date 12th week of 2000. Posted a few pics as well.

Model 350 - made in August, 1991 - Typical Model 350 that was originally Midnight Blue w/ black hardware. Most of the black hardware, including the black "R" tailpiece was missing when I got it, so it's now Midnight Blue w/chrome + white pickguards. It has the typical 3 high-gain pu's, a Bigsby vibrato, and chrome Schallers. I also replaced the black, knurled strap buttons with chrome Rickenbacker Schaller straplock ones. I tried to keep it as original as possible, but so much of the black hardware was missing, it'd be difficult to replace it all. Personally, I think chrome looks 100 times better. A nice touch - someone replaced the black TRC with a nice vintage-reissue "clear" white one, so I'm plenty stoked!! The Bigsby stays in tune so well, even with use, I must be dreaming. It's the ONLY 350 I've EVER seen in Midnight Blue. Bought it at Guitar Center here in southern California.
