Hi,
here is my 360/12 jg, unremarkable except that it took me 24 years to get one!

Image

That was in July.
And then 6 months later this 360fg came along wearing nought but a coat of paint... gradually acquiring bits.

After we played a gig last weekend I got a picture of me sat beside my 3 babies.

BTW. The amps in the background are not mine! (I use an AC30) :)

It's an old out of date thing that seen better days and really needs trading in for something more desireable. The band are looking at the 'Gary Barlow' model. :lol:

Forgot to post this- my butcher-baby 360FG after being rebuilt. Non-original bridge or pickups, but that is hopefully being taken care of.

Cheers Rob. The action is ridiculously good- maybe too low, but I haven't decided yet!
Soundwise it's great, although I'm assured that when I replace the Eastwood pickups with HiGains it will be miles better.
Nevertheless it has become my No1 6 string. I never realised it would be so versatile!*

I bought the carcass of the guitar from a guy on ebay who'd got it from the seller in America who parts-out Rics. (the full sorry story, lol).
At the time I bought it I saw it as a long-term project but once I'd started acquiring bits it made sense (since when did sense have any part to play in GAS?!) to get the beast up and running.
