Yes, it is Burgundy. It's not Mint by any means, but I am going to gig with it. I do intend to take good care of it though.
Thanks

More images would be welcome too... Something shot outdoors in very bright light to show the colour...
There was another 1981 BG 320 for sale on Ebay last week too... Odd they coming up so close to each other...
Anyway Karl congrats again on the new (to you) Rick.

Well,
I received the Guitar today, and like I said although it is not mint it is BEAUTIFUL. No issues at all, tuners are great neck is perfect. I am in love with a guitar.
But, I do have a question. The guitar has a very muffled or thick trebly kind of sound. not the sound I remember the newer teal 325 had that I owned a few year's ago. My amp is a Line 6 Flextone III XL which I made need to create new sounds for but was wondering if this is normal The strings on it were very old, I changed them to GHS For now, have a set of Rickenbacker Nickel Short scale guitar strings the owner gave me and wanted to know what others thought of them before I put them on. If you need more info just let me know.
Thanks,
Karl
