Burgundy 340vp/12
Hi everyone
This is my first post..........
I have just ordered a burgundy 340vp 12 string and am very excited............I have never played a ric with toasters on them (or a 12 string for that matter!).......
My current rics are a solid red 330/6 (black trim/chrome hardware) ....and a 380l pz.......
So.......can I expect great things from my 340vp/12?

Andrew: Welcome aboard. I am sure you will be very pleased with your 340/12 Burgundyglo. This is an attractive finish. There is nothing like the Rickenbacker 12-string sound.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

thanks for the welcome Peter...........
The burgungyglo finish I love.......I prefer the solid colours..........
John, you 350v63 is beautiful, I hope mine will look as good when it arrives, I will attempt to post a picture......*attempt* mind you..........
I live in the UK (Scotland), and bought the 340 in the US, so between shipping and import taxes it cost an extra $460 (ouch!).......worth every penny though I'm sure.

John,
The 'guards on your 350v63 BG look almost like they are gold... Surely that's an optical illusion, right? (or maybe just something screwed up with the resolution on my monitor!).
Very pretty guitar! I'm currently waiting to take delivery on a 350v63 in Montezuma Brown, and I read somewhere that the 350 is a very underrated guitar, especially for lead. I hope that is true.

Gene, I think that the guitar is a classic and I don't know why they aren't more popular. I know that Lennon never played one, but he probably would've had he had the chance. It is what it is....a full sale 325, right? Ok, ok a full scale 320 with vintage appointments. It's very light weight. It sounds like a RIC, what more can you ask?

Aren't 350's of any variety significantly more expensive than comparable models? Although it's a different shaped body style, it's in many ways similar to others in the 300 series. For those of us for whom it's a financial reach even to get one Rick, the tradeoffs of a 350 vs. a 330 just don't make much sense.

Good points - I think we're saying the same things from a different angle. For a first-time or entry-level buyer, vintage appointments aren't enough of a difference to shell out $$$ over. OTOH for a guitar collector, such things become more significant.
Here's a question: given a 350 and a 330, would Joe Average Guitar Player be able to hear the difference in a blind taste-test (assuming vintage pu's for consistency) ??
