Keep 325 trio intact?: C58, V59, C64

[mipiti3]

Here are photos of the Ric 325s (jetglo C58, maple V59, and jetglo C64), plus my Georges: Duojet and Tennessean.... The alder 325C58 and the Duojet are my favorites to handle.

Just wanted to say that I am still getting acquainted with all of them and eventually will whittle down the pile. The trouble is you can't usually see and try all these in one place over and over and compare without acquiring them. So I am just figuring out what I want for my core. As for regular length Rics, I am finding the shorter 325s fit me better than the 360s and the Gretsches play well. So maybe eventually I will just stay with 325C58 & 325C64 and Duojet. The question on the V59 is just whether I will really regret letting it go, as the triplet is pretty unique to enjoy (greedy, I know- but I am playing them!) and I could never get that one back again I am sure. Hope you like the pix. Sorry, I only have 2 stands.

Sold the V59 maple. Sniff. Regretted it. But there was something not quite right with the bowtie bridge that was added on. Maybe find another V59 someday. My fav of the three is still the alder C58.

Hi Emily,
Sorry to hear about that! back in the early 90ies i had to make a decision too: mapleglo v59 or jetglo v63. I decided to buy the v63 mostly because it was in stock in Germanys Distributor. But being a student i could not afford. an additional v59.
But nowadays i have a complete trio! See my trio infernale posting. I hope i can keep them together and save money for a tennessean and a twelfe string Rick!

Regards

Peter

All back together again:) I had sold the maple V59 and... yes, you guys were right, regretted it, BUT there was still something not right about that particular V59. So... I have been able to track down another one in MG and much better, like new, than the other. So the trio are intact again. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
