Italian, made around 1969, Dark natural finish. Bigsby like vibrato.
thinline hollowbody, two single coil pickups. I purchased it in 1972,
already used.
Sound
:

Very natural sound , almost acoustic.
Also sounds great without amplifying.
Good for almost anything that needs a clean sound.
On the contrary, a bad guitar for distorted sounds.
A little noisy , due to the single coil pickups.

This was my first electric guitar.
Now I own five electrics, among them two old Gibsons and a '58
Fender Stratocaster. However I still have my Barracuda VI in
great esteem ! and I really play it a lot.
It is difficult to see one for sale, but when something appears
once in a while it is really cheap in comparison with te features.
Witout doubt I would purchase again a guitar like this !

A semi-acustic mid 70's guitar, made in Italy. The shape is a normal semi-acustic shape!Mine is red with cream border.It has 3 controls (volume and pickup) and a 3way switch for the 2 single pickup.
The bridge is a very nice old style.

A very nice guitar, very particular!Sweet sound, good for blues, jazz and rock!Easy and nice to play!The big advantage, I think, is the particularity of sound, quite diffrent from all the new gtr.
