Don, How is the neck compared to the v64? More radius, thinner, thinner binding?

Thanks.

I thought it was a bit thinner than the v64. But that's just my opinion. I felt it was easier to play. My fingers didn't get tired.

I see that.... and M.F. says they have the Miami in stock too.

RatsRatsRatsRatsRatsRatsRatsRats..... Mine's now been on order for a year this month. Should I give up the deposit on the ordered one, or wait it out, or just put a bullet in my head now and save my wife the trouble?

Decisions, decisions....

Jerry, won't the dealer refund your deposit as he's probably not going to get his for a while.

I didn't realize the "V" Series had "R" Tailpieces. What year were those made?

Jerry Do you have yours on order at NCM? They have a min. $200 deposit on 360-12c63. no refunds however it can go towards a purchase of another item. If you change your mind on your order.

Yeah, mine is on order at NCM. I know I'd lose the deposit unless I bought something else, but I like doing business with Gary and I can wait...

...for awhile.

Meanwhile I'll console myself with my 1980 360-12 and my 325C58.

I picked up a 360C63/12 JG from Mike Parks a few weeks ago. No deposit on a back order, it came in, I saw it on his incoming list, I just bought it.

I don't think that anyone should get too overly excited or depressed. The guitars are beautiful fit and finish but I just don't get what the big deal is.

I have 5, 12 string Rickenbackers, 2 altered by Arnquist.
They are just as easy to play and look good.

Probably because the factory doesn't manufacture them on a regular basis and everyone wants them at the same time
