If one clicks on the link in my post above, one can see that the line-up includes a Model 385, which is a jumbo acoustic similar to the one Ricky Nelson is holding.

BTW, as described on that same page of the catalog, the Model 386 apparently was a jumbo acoustic with two toaster pickups - now that would be one really strange beast!

Where are these guitars now? I've never seen one.

Cole, other than seeing a few pix in books, I haven't seen any of the 380 series acoustics made in the late '50s. There was also a 390-394 series of acoustics which weren't made after the early '70's. They were single cutaway with a carved top and back and 21 fret.
