Just thought I'd mention that I'm the one who bought that 360C63 that arrived in December.,......love it......

Definately pointy but with binding......straight wire......how about toaster vs high gain?

I bought that one......

Well here's my spin on this. I like the rounded horns on the mapleglo 370-12RM model because that's what I'm used to seeing in the genre. Roger McGuinns guitar looks great. I own a 360-12C63 which actually has had the oversize horns of the 360V64 series trimmed down a bit. If you look at a V series ...

I own the DVD "the 12 string guitar of Roger McGuinn" and no e-mail address is given. I really like Roger's personality on this DVD, but recently I've seen him on some talk shows and some videos on U-Tube and he's like a totally different person. Seems completely into himself and actually bored ...

Interesting because all guitars are different. For my Gretsch Country Gent and my '60's Vox Bob cat, I keep a moistened sponge inside of a baggy and slip that into the case behind the headstock. It is totally dry after 2 weeks and the Vox splintered like a potato chip from lack of humidity. Funny ...

I can relate Winston.......I had a wife once that played real great, I just didn't like the way she looked.....

You'll love the bowtie. I had one on my 325 and it was awesome. I sold that 325 to get a 360-12C63.......wish I had more Rics......I'd have a garge full of guitars if I had the money......

I know Roger lives just outside of Orlando, FL in quite a house......you can see part of it in some of his videos taken at home. Makes me wonder who guards those precious guitars when he travels.....

I just love staring at it on a guitar stand....it's like the Mona Lisa of guitars! I've had 4 Rics in my lifetime and this one is the best.

OK, I'll go with it. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't assembled on a Friday nite when the technician was chomping at the bit to leave to go to the beach or something. If it's good enough for Roger McGuinn, it's good enough for me........

Are yours that way too?

I just got my new 360-12C63 and the tuners are driving me nuts. The bass string tuners (Low E-A-D) are configured so that the back tuning pegs tune the top or bass string of the pair while the treble string tuners are configured so that the back tuning pegs tune the bottom string of the pair. Is ...

Sound differently Simon? How so?

Like they said, it's not the type strings you use...it's the binding. The binding makes the Ric sound better. Also, Fireglo's sound better than other colors....especially when playing Beatle tunes.
