I didn't believe it at first.....couldn't be....could it???
Had to wait until it arrived to make sure.
Yep, it is......a brand NEW 330 Burgundyglo......WOW!!!
I'd send pics if I could figure out how to make the file size smaller.

Ah, so you're the one who got to it first.

Send me the pics, i'd be happy to post 'em. Jbiscuti AT mac DOT com.

Oh, and congrats!

My wife says hello, Craig. She wishes you the best of luck with your new acquisition. It's a good looking BG, isn't it?

They've got an NOS 381v69 in Burgundyglo too! Russ isn't interested in selling.

Hi back to Cindy.....and tell her Thanks.
It's about the THE most gorgeous guitar I've got.
Had to put the kid up for collateral on this one but that all melts away
as soon as the case is opened!!

I'll tell you a quick story about that 381 John. Russ sold that guitar three times before he decided that he should hang on to it. The people who bought the 381 would eventually trade it in for a PRS. It's one of the early BG's from 2002, nice and dark. Did you call the store this weekend? If you would have called during the week, you would have talked to my wife (who loves your current avatar). I don't think that Russ is ready to part with it again at this time, but never say never...

I didn't call, only emailed Russ a few times. He said he's going to hold onto it a while longer. I was already to flip my 381 to get the BG one too! Oh well, perhaps in the future.

I'm glad your wife likes the sight of me drunk laying on a pool table.

Er, moving right along, here's Craigs gorgeous Burgundyglo 330. Craig, if it's anything like my '02 330, that neck is a baseball bat!

John....yer right....I didn't give it a whole lot of thought til you just mentioned it, but that
neck is a bit like a baseball bat.....wussup with that??? Is it an '02 thing???

Wait, what's the story here? I missed out. Is that 330 really new, or NOS? Amazing!

Yup, NOS.

More like a late 90's/early 00's thing. I think the newer necks have slimmed down some.

I guess you didn't like it THAT much, Craig... ???

Is Burgundyglo translucent? I can't quite tell from the photo. Ruby Red is translucent, yes? Someone let me know, eh?

Burgandyglo is translucent, while the old Ruby had a metallic finish.

Isn't that the second Rick Craig has turned around quite fast???
There's a Rick out there somewhere for him.
That looks really cool in the BurgandyGlo.
Oh well - I do enjoy the pictures anyway.
