Did Ric ever offer wider necks on 360/12 strings?

Post by mojo_jojo »

Just curious if that was ever an option. I have a 360/12 and I'm getting used to the cramped quarters, however they should offer a wider version (a la 660/12) on the 300 series. I know, I should have gone for the 660/12, however I prefer the 360 body and overall design.

Never an option as far as I know.

I saw one 370_12RM with a wider neck once. I think it may have been a custom thing though.

Just from my sometimes unreliable memory...

I think the 380L was a 360-shaped guitar with a wider neck (plus various other differences).

I don't think the 380L was not available as a 12 string.

I don't think it was an 'option', but some have been made...

Very nice John. Could you compare this neck with that of a 660/12 as far as playability goes?
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Same neck, same specs. Plays the same...

That should be the standard neck width in my opinion.
