Description
Derived from a design dating back to 1957, this gorgeous Ric is memorable for its hand-carved arch top & back. Employing only premium 'charactered' Maple, the 381V69 has a fully bound body with 'checked' binding & extreme double cutaways, along with a bound crescent sound hole to complete this exquisite look. The body shows off some truly stunning flame figuring & thanks to a pro set up from Cream City Music, it's ready for action straight out of the case.
