That is really nice!

I wasn't expecting the German carve to be so comfortable either - my 381 is the first one I'd ever even picked up, and I have to admit that it doesn't look like it should be comfortable, with the big body with all those edges and the neck right up in the air. A friend of mine brought it over to have some repair work done before he sold it, and as soon as I played it he wasn't getting it back! It's the most comfortable guitar I've ever played I think.

What's the matter with you people. Wangs, horns - it's starting to sound like a Carry On movie. :shock:

Like I've said time and time again, I rescued my 660/12 TP from a Dallas GC for a low price of $1,800. :)
