Jetglo, not Fireglo, but here's my C63:

I have a C63 (Jetglo) and used to own a late '90s 330-12. Regarding the "feel," in highly technical terms: the C63 is easier to play and chord than my 330-12 was. I *think* the strings may be further apart on the C63 but I don't know that for sure -- they feel further apart.

Mine came with a six ...

Come to think of it, I think the finish on my c63 is a bit on the dark side too.

I'll repost when I figure out how to re-size pics.

Thanks -- I'll swap out the vintage part for the Ric-Schaller-compatible part. I appreciate the help.

Thanks for the responses. The problem is, the gauge of the vintage strap button that's currently on the c63 is much larger than the gauge for a screw that will fit through the Schaller strap-lock button. I suppose I could fill the hole but was looking for other options.

Got my JetGlo 360/12c63 last week (what happened to the C Series threads?). Love the guitar in every respect but I wasn't expecting the strap buttons to also be vintage as well, i.e., not the ones that are compatible with the Schaller strap-lock system. The screws for the Schaller strap-lock buttons ...

"This one sounds, feels and plays different as well."
JW - thanks for the info about where you got it. I saw this guitar on the Guitarville site but I already have a JG on order through The Rickenbacker Page.

So, how does it sound, feel, and play differently than your 360/12?

J.W. - where did you get yours from?

I'm curious too. I talked to someone at Ed's shop yesterday and they said they offer the Union Jack paint job as a separate service. The price is $1000.00. Funny, the guy I talked to didn't hesitate for a second when I asked how much, as if someone calls every other day asking about this. Perhaps ...

There's a picture of a Ric 330 with the Union Jack on the front on Ed Roman's web site (google: "Union Jack Rickenbacker"). Does anyone know whether Ric will do this paint job for any dealer or is it a special order only available from Ed Roman?

Hopefully that just applies to MF, I've got one on order with The Rickenbacker Page.

I'd like to see the store make that argument to a judge or jury.

Bob beat me to this; he's right. Because they are, by their own admission, in breach, they are bound to cover any reasonable difference in price if you have to pay more, whether you get a replacement from them or from someone else in the market. Keep notes about what new 370/12 FGs there are in the ...

I wonder what the warranty situation would be even if you did get the guitar back. If she registered it, Rickenbacker may not honor a warranty claim, assuming you had to make one, which is probably unlikely. Still, that would be a further basis for a refund if you did get the guitar back.

If you ...
