Yup. And the way the parts were priced I suspect he must have picked it up for less than $2000.....and it's in unmarked condition with no fretwear. Sign of the times.

Did Gibson non- dependable at least leave on the strings??

I would kindly suggest that Gold pickguards and oven knobs look great on your 360/12C63

Many thanks Clement!

I'm really pleased how this one turned out both from an aesthetic and playability/tone perspective. These modern era X-braced bodied Ricks are a wonderful combination of old and new; with the lovely '60's style extra resonance of the X-braced body combined with the updated stronger neck/body construction which should reduce the risk of issues with the necks pulling forward as they age (as compared to the original '60's made 12 strings).
