Mark - You're right, that's not charactered at all. My 360/12FG is more charactered than that. It's still a beautiful instrument of course, but I agree that not ONE instrument touted (and priced) as charactered should be allowed out the door looking like that.
BTW - I saw how your comments were ...

I think it's accurate to let the D string ring out as open. Only play the B and G strings as shown above.

Those are very touching lyrics.

I'm choked up here...

HaHaHaHaHaHa.....!

Vox AD50VT. Sounds nice on the AC30 setting with the gain turned down a bit to compensate for the high gain P/U's (360/12). Fender Twin setting sounds good too.

Much obliged.

Thanks John. What year is your 360/12? I'm curious because I've read that later models don't have the finish over/around the nut. I'll still carefully score around it though before I give it tap.

Thanks for the replies.
John, How did you remove the original nut? Did you just tap a side with a screwdriver?

Paul, I saw your obviously very knowledgeable advise on this procedure in a different thread, and I'll follow that. I'm a little nervous, understandably, to try this myself, but I'm ...

Hi. Can anyone tell me when the switch was made to the nut with wider string spacing (330 nut I believe) on the 360/12? Mine was made in Oct. '05, and I'm curious if I have it, but I'm doubtful. Any comments from those who have replaced their nut with the wider spacing? Seems like the swap would be ...
