Closely related to the 1997 model is the 1998, with one extra pickup. Here's my 1965 Australian-imported 1998:-

Guys, I'd love to make the journey south. Thanks for the invitation.

If it's OK, I'll bring my own beer though. That VB stuff always gives me a shocking headache Image

Is there anything else you would like me to bring other than the 350SH?

Congratulations, Melibee!! I know you've been a'hankerin' for something in BBR and I reckon getting it in a 350v63 is just about perfect!

Looking forward to your review of it! Image

No worries on the beer front, Brett..... we're not as fussy as some and we often drink imported beers anyway....... mind you, not stuff imported from NSW!!! Image

Er, okay, guess it's 1997 week. 1993's and 1998's are cool too. Hold off on the 1996's.

Late again, dang!!

NIIIIICE BBR 350 Melissa. Saw that one when Chris posted it earlier. Good to see it went to someone who, er, appreciates BBR. (too gentle a description perhaps?)

Beauty! Mmmmmmmm.

Nice one Melissa! A BBR 350V63 would've been my choice.

Thanks, guys! That's the one I ALWAYS wanted, even before BBR was an option....

Now I will never need another Ric....

Except for that SH, and that F series, and that 12-string acoustic, and that.... Oh, never mind! Image
