381/12V69 FG in Germany

[HorseMountain]

Gave it to myself on my 60th. I've had her in the house for a while, time for an outing at the bday bash. Shown next to her acoustic siblings (which do get a lot more stage time), and being put to good use (as evidenced by the capo on the 4th fret, the tune must have been "Teach Your Children", key of E )

This vintage shot dates back to 1989 when I had my first Ric. The 350 did look a bit ridiculous on my frame back then; it would look tiny on my somewhat "enhanced" frame 25 years later Hence the choice of 381 over 350 when going 12 strings. Well, truth be told, that wasn't the only reason. The 381 is just plain gorgeous!
