Thanks for the replies guys.

I live in Auburn, MI (near Bay City) and it is hot and humid here now. We have central air, and I was home waiting for FedEx to deliver the guitar on Thurs so I know it didn't sit out in the elements upon delivery.

Neck finish question on a new 360-12.

This is my first post. What a great forum. There is a wealth of information here!

My wife bought me a new 360-12 FG for my B-day. Great gift! It's been many years since I've owned a Rickenbacker and I'v always regretted selling the ones I've had. She bought it this week from a major retailer and ...
