[gt5litre]

Well I got the call that my new Ric has arrived and 2 months early no less. I ordered the Vintage Pickup option (ie, the Toaster Tops) in Fireglo back around the middle of the year. I have added a link to a few pics I got of it. Enjoy the jangle as yo fly "8 Miles High".

I really lusted after a blonde 360 at my local music store in my high school days .. probably my favorite Rick, among several very original designs.

a 360 - 12 definitely ain't too shabby!

there's no substitute in my book.

my best friend's favorite ax, among several nice ones he owned, was a red 330 six string.

Re: My New Ric 360-12 has arrived!!!

congrats! --- enjoy and play in good health ... that's really gorgeous ... the exact color i imagine getting for myself ("damn the torpedoes" cover etched in my brain ) ... how do you compare it to a 660-12? ... ive never played either, but always hear that the 660 is a bit wider neck = more playable ... how much did this beauty set you back?

any chance for clips to hear?

cheers

I don't care what your mother says, you're a lucky bastid

The only Rickenbackers I've ever been able to play were at Sam Ash, so the setup was awful, but I've always lusted for one of the 12 string beauties.

If anyone is curious, Rics are made differently from every other guitar in a number of ways. Here's a picture of a stack of unfinished "tops" to give you an idea of what's inside:
