2005 color blue bursting (BBR) we display. (360/12BBR,4003BBR,620BBR)
In addition we exhibit 1996FG this time, as a musical instrument fair special limited item. 1996 is produced in the sixties, for England as the export model "the f" hole is the model of feature 325 specifications. The RIC corporation especially, small-numbered being limited being reproduced actualized in 2006 75th anniversaries are attained at the time of.
We display also 1996JG of the show model simultaneously. By all means viewing.

It looks like the guitar on the far right has an F hole - must be the 1996 JG.

Thats cool. I was hoping for a 4001V68 but I've always dug the 325's w/ f-hole's. Maybe I'll have to grab one in Fireglo.

Kevin, you win an "F-hole". Unfortunately, you'll have to pay for the guitar wrapped around it...
