Hi,

I'm looking to get my 360 properly set up for heavier strings. I contemplated doing it myself but would prefer to have it done professionally. Does anybody know of a good guitar tech / luthier in the Boston area who could help me out?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Paul,

What a great looking guitar. A Monty brown 381 is the dream guitar of mine. However, by the time I actually find one and have enough expendable income to buy it, god knows how much they'll be trading hands for! I have a MB 360, though, so I suppose I should just be happy.

Tony and Dale,

Thanks for the input and Tony thanks for the pic. It's exactly what I was looking for. In all honesty I'm not going to be divebombing with the vibrato. In fact it's mainly an aesthetic thing--it just looks cool. Here's another question: If the vibrato arm is off, how does it effect ...

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has installed a vibrato onto a 360 and has pictures of it. Is it a drop in replacement or does it involve some surgery? And finally does it affect intonation/tuning at all? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

Bump. Would like more info if anybody has some. Thanks

As of now I just plug into a Hiwatt and play. However, I have a Janglebox on order.

Hiwatt SA112 50 Watt Combo. It's incredibly loud.

I posted something similar a while back. Somebody here has them in their 360. I'd like to try this myself.

So I assume the humbuckers darken the sound a bit? A little less treble would be good in my case...I play through a Hiwatt which tends to be on the bright side. Anyone else have any info?

You put them in both positions? Can I ask for an approximation of the sound? What would you say they most compare to in terms of the sound? I'm intrigued...

I'm just curious to see if anybody has put a Ric humbucker in their 360. Anyone?

I've been playing my 360 with the Ric .010's and to me they feel buttery soft--really too soft--I'm used to playing acoustic, so that might have something to do with it. I'm curious about the .012's. Anybody use these much?

Hi all,
I went to adjust my truss rods last night (I have slight buzzing at the 1st/2nd frets on the high strings) and I noticed that the nut on the treble string side turned extremely easy--no real resitance at all, whereas the other nut had slight resistance. So, which is normal?
Also, about the ...

Hi all,

I have a 360/6 with the R-tailpiece. I was wondering if the Trapeze style is a drop in replacement (i.e. no new holes). I like the R but find the trapeze more aesthetically pleasing--is there any drawbacks/benefits to either? The trapeze is easier to string, I believe? Thanks in advance ...

I just got my Montezuma Brown 360 yesterday. It is a striking guitar and plays like a dream.
