I did; unless I'm mistaking the body dimensions, I think I see four C58-thickness bodies with full-scale necks-left side; FG, JG, MG, RBY. Campbell guitars maybe?!

NAMM 2013 guitar rack at RIC.jpg

I think those are probably 350V63 models.

I believe a 24 fret 350 style model would be almost 2 inches longer than the 620 and 660 models on the rack.

Kevin, you could be right...

One close up shows a pretty wide fretboard though. Check out the neck thickness on the left in this photo.

I believe the MC 350 (as I call it) has a Tom Petty 660/12 signature neck, but cut for 6-strings instead of 12.

If I am understanding you correctly, the thicker looking fingerboard is due to no binding along the side of it.

I don't mean that, I mean the width from low E string to high E string.

I guess we'll know in a week's time .

Well, that is difficult to discern from a close up photo taken with a wide angle lens, as the the perspective gets skewed due to the stretching of the edges of images close to the edge of the photo as they get distorted and thrown out of true proportion.

Lefty 330MG third from the right! Hubba Hubba!

There is an empty space on the rack And I don't see any 24 fret F-hole Guitars.

Or basses, or C-series stuff.

Hey I think I saw a 4005 in there too!

In Autumn Glo . . . ?

Yep a 4005 would do nicely I like CJ's 4002 idea though. Hmmm Ruby 4005 WB yeah that would put me over the edge.......

Two things:

1) Look closely, folks - you might be seeing 381V69s on that rack. I too thought they were 360 OS models at first.

2) I start my new job this week, so I can't go to NAMM. Bummed.

They do look like that, to me.

Good luck with the new job, Kenny.
