Sure did.

Stunning Ruby, Ned. IIRC, the guy from the Smithereens rocked out on one just like it at RIC's 75th anniversary show at the HOB. I could be wrong...It might have been a 360, but either way...what a sweet guitar!

I also have an '89 Ruby (4003S/5) as well as an '87 (4003S).

What's cooler than Ruby?

Nothin!!!

Here is a shot of the 340 Ruby at the show.

Mighty cool photo, Jeff!

Yeah, cool photo. Is that his or was it a loaner for the event?

I thought they weren't making 340s anymore??
I put in my order for a Ruby 381........how long you figure THAT will take??

Nice! Can't wait to see pictures of that. Where did you order yours?

IIRC, wait time is 18 months for a newly-ordered 381.

I would order one as well, but what I REALLY want to order is a Ruby 360/12 C63. . . . I hope there's some ugly-grained or plain-jane-grained maple that shows up at RIC in the near future. . . .

I might have my eye on a Ruby 360/12C63, too. That would be my third 12'er!

Ruby in a 620/6 would solve two problems- 1. My need for ruby 2. My need for a solidbody ric!

Hey Craig,

I was lucky enough to get THE 381 that was on display at the NAMM Show on February 23rd from POTR. It's magnificent.

Ben Hall says that lots of Ruby will be shipping in April, so it may be (hopefully) a very short wait.

this seems like my perfect chance to get into a 620/6! Rubbbbbyyyyyy!

Well then, call a dealer and order one, it is the only way to get a new one.

Ruby is so cool but still waiting on canary yellow or metallic flake!

Your wait will be a long one, then.
