They got a Fireglo 330 in stock last night. May exchange for that one! Asking about the neck profile now.

Can't go wrong with a 330 FG. That's a classic.

It pains me, but I am sending back the Jetglo 360. Just couldn’t get past it. The Fireglo 330 is now on hold for me.
On another note, you guys are great! Thanks for all the help and for welcoming me into the Ric community! I appreciate all of the information and experience you all have.

Hey, you're the one who has to be happy with the guitar in the end! No judgment here.
Before you send it back, you should measure the neck thickness with a pair of calipers (1st and 12th fret are common places for measurement) so you can start having numbers for what feels best in your hands.

You are a wise man!!!!
Re: New Jetglo 360! But…did I get a bad fretboard?
I hope the 330 brings you happiness. Remember, it’ll sound different from your 360 because of the different pickups.
Re: New Jetglo 360! But…did I get a bad fretboard?
What different pickups?
Re: New Jetglo 360! But…did I get a bad fretboard?
I'm curious, too. I just checked the specs for each model over on RIC, and it seems they have the same pickups, same pots, same caps....

Yeah it should be the high gains, but correct me if I’m wrong.

That's the right move, Richard. Every time you held the 360, that blemish would haunt you.
Let your dealer fight with RIC about returning it. It shouldn't have left the factory with such an obvious flaw.
Good for you. Enjoy the 330 (and yes, the pickups are the same as the 360's).

Well raise my rent!
I just compared the specs on Ric’s website too, coz I was thinking, “Whaaaaat?”.
If I ain’t red in the face!
All this time, I’ve been running under the assumption that the 360 still got toasters.
I was WRONG!
Sincere apologies ova heeya.
I guess I was sticking too close to the specs of my Fab Gear 360 but I did NOT realize that the toasters on it were part of the specs that made it Ltd. Ed. That’ll learn me.
Don’t mind me, I just poke my nose in here to see how you grownups live.

Fireglo on the way! Can’t wait to try it out. Never played the 330 before. Super excited.

Share any differences you perceive acoustically between the 330 and 360. I have a theory on this and I'd love your opinion.knightrich wrote:Fireglo on the way! Can’t wait to try it out. Never played the 330 before. Super excited.
