I did notice that, John. Bizarre!
Say, haven't you had a couple of these? Got some pics to show?

Yeah, I was just going to ask about that bound non-F hole. What's up with that?

I wish that I did own of these....but I don't. I do own a '68 381 and it sports a very different body than a rgular 381. It is much thinner, front to back. Also, the carved top is a bit more rounded shape. I'm sure it was more of a hand built early example. Pics later today.
As for the bound slash? I have no clue. I have another pic of a '69 360 OS in Shaded Blue and its bound sound non-hole(?). Someone sent me the pics years ago. The guitars were custom ordered by a music store owner. His sons own the guitars now, I believe.

Beautiful, Clive! How are things over in the "sunny" UK? Hope you didn't have any problems with floods and such..........

Howard, it's brightened up a bit here in London.
I was stranded in a recording studio in Sheffield though when the river Don burst its banks and flooded the lower part of the city! Literally, what was the road outside 3 hours before became a river about a foot deep, and it was moving fast.
If it wasn't so weird, it would have been scary!
Mind you, I can think of worse places to get stuck in!

Jeeze.......looking at all these killer 381s, you all have got me thinking that I should have gone with my first choice instead of opting for the 360/12C64. It's all good tho'; can't go wrong with either.
