I own a 360/12V64 as well. Does anyone know what the difference is between the V64 and the C63?

I think I heard that the inlays were more true to the '63 time period, the color of the burst is more dead on, and the body cut is slightly different. Now, this is what I heard, I could be wrong.

I had the 360/12V64 and a 360/12WB, and will get my C63 tomorrow, I couldn't tell the difference between the V64 and the C63. I'll know more tomorrow.

I know two of the differences on the C is the bridge assembly, and also the headstock where the truss rod cover is more experimentally shaped like Harrison's 360/12. That and it also doesn't state "MADE IN THE U.S.A." under the RIC logo. I don't have my spec sheets handy, but I know there are other differences in the body and neck dimensions too.

There are a LOT of small but significant differences.

How do you post pix? It keeps telling me to shrink it to 500x500. How do you do that?

Don,

You need to have some kind of photo software, like Adobe Photoshop, that will allow you to reduce the dimensions of your picture to no greater than 500x500 pixels, with a total file size of no more that 35kb.

There are a lot of software packages that let you do this. I believe a lot of the board member old-timers might have some suggestions on photo shareware or freeware.

I can resize them for you if you want... and also host them if you like.

Usually, a digital camera will come with some sort of picture-editing software. My Olympus D-400Z came with Camedia, and it allows me to resize my pictures:

BTW, make sure to maintain the aspect ratio.

Thank you.

I tried out the c63 last nite. I do hear the difference from the 360/12v64 I once had. I always thought the v64s rhythm pickup was a bit muddy and the lead pickup wasn't too bright. The c63, to me, has a strong output in the lead pickup. The rhythm pickup is also bright.
