I hope they're not just Japanese market models; I'd buy one of the six string 360/C63s; it's DOUBLE BOUND DOUBLE BOUND DOUBLE BOUND DOUBLE BOUND DOUBLE BOUND :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :D

I'm moving then! :twisted:

Seriously, knowing a new six string double bound model is only available in Japan is torture for me, and probably for Collin as well since it's a 21 fret model!

If I understand the translation correctly:

- These are available for order between August 10th and August 31st only and are due for delivery in September.
- Only 60 of each model will be produced, in commemoration of Shinsedo's 60th anniversary.

310C64 (JGx24 and MBx36)
360C63 (FGx40 and JGx20)
1999 (FG/JG)

Jeez, that'll be out of my price range for the forseeable future then! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ooh, they're offering some of the 360 C63s in JG?! WOW!!! I'd love one of those!!!! Maybe I'll be able to get on on Ebay after I get out of Law School. I certainly won't be buying one this year!

nice news if it is confirmed and if that means something towards that famous instruments that should replace the discontinued C series

However, look at the 1999 headstock....maybe the image posted it is not a real picture, not a real bass... the G string is aligned with the E string, unlike any previous reissue I have ever seen (4001C64, C64S, V63, CS, etc) where it is usually placed further down
