There is no reason to ever be bored.

...why yes, I suppose I do have a double bound guitar fetish...

The FireGlo guitar in your photo looks exactly like the 1993Plus model Rickenbacker is making now, which has the wider neck width.
Do your Fab Gear models have the wide or narrow neck widths?
Very nice collection either way!! :wink:
The FireGlo is a standard 1993 Plus...nothing special from Fab Gear.

Sam, how about posting a photo here?
Well dogonnit, I tried but I’m not as savvy at this hosting thing as I thought. I rarely do it.
I have a URL from imgBB but can’t get it to post, dammit.
Wonder what procedural ball I’m dropping.

The Fab Gear 360’s have what Andy Babiuk referred to as vintage-spec necks, which definitely puts them on the slimmer side. Not as thick front to back, either, compared to a modern 330 f’rinstance.

Closest I’ve been able to get to posting a pic. Got a prompt saying it’s one pixel too big to actually post the photo.

Your computer has software to allow you to resize your image files. What are you posting from?

Posting from an IPad.
Sounds like I might be on a bit of a learning curve.
Thanks very much for your assistance.

I don't what may be on an iPad, or what photo software is available for those, but there's got to be some way to do resizing on them. I do so regularly on my Mac Mini, and my SO can do so on her iPod Touch.

I'm more of a PC guy, but it looks like you can use the Photos app to crop pictures on an iPad: https://support.apple.com/guide/ipad/ed ... 6e8/ipados

If I have a picture that's just slightly too big for forum limits, I'll try to find a way to crop it a little to fit. You can see there is part of the picture I could trim off without really losing anything:

For much bigger high-resolution pictures, I may choose to scale it down by 50% or 75% or whatever if I don't want to trim much more off the edges. Good luck! :)

I'm confused. Don't these Fab guitars have binding around the soundhole? That one looks like it does not.
