That's Ruby Eddie. Nice though, it's been around the eBay loop a couple of times with no BIN takers.

yeah, but he's changed tack now and started a regular auction with low opening price....if you can put up without full width inlays and 21 frets (not my cup o' tea but each to their own), it could clearly end up at a bargain price for an OS..

Oi! How did I miss to spot that one! Thanks, Eddie... I'll follow that one closely - who knows, maybe a final sniper kill the last second!

..well I'll leave you guys to fight it out as the 24 frets don't do it for me...may the best man (or sheila) win!

Not for me either Eddie. I'm happy with 21 or 24 frets, but I aleady have an x-braced 1981 Ruby 370WB CB which is a real sweety.

Nice!! And I see you are greedy for the extra pick-up - just like me! I mean why make do with a measly two when you can enjoy the Full Monty!

..and what is that I spy..... is that...surely it can't be....shock....splutter...CHECKER BINDING

CB? Sure is!

That's a nice feature....was that a factory special order from new...or retrofit?

Factory special order Eddie. The optional extras were pretty cool back then. It's actually a really nice guitar to play, with a good weight, slim neck and plays as easy as a six string.

..that's cool...now that the backlog is way down, the factory should have plenty of time to again process special orders/options like this. Bringing back the OS as a special order should be top of that list!

It does my heart good to see models such as this one being made these days. 11 out of 10 RIC!

No doubt the f-holes are supercool. Will be very interesting to see what is next down the pipe....

True, I think they are having some fun again.
