Sure there was. I just talked it over with Kenny and he said sure. They were made during the 70's and 80's. In the 60's there was the 370 O.S.
No, I don't play the sax.

Made through the mid 90s. I have one from 1994 and owned another made in 1992 that I sold to a Forum member. They were also available with 12 strings, like this one from 1994.

There was a white (yellowed) one on ebay pretty recently. Cool guitar, it went for about $1200 I believe.

Thanks chaps. I have a 360WB that I am toying with the idea of adding a third pick up, but didn't want to if there was no such thing.....I'll think on it!

The 370WB was the first 'new' RIC I ever owned. I special ordered one back in late 1984 in jetglo. They are kinda rare.

I sold Kev that '94. Boy was that nice. Thanks guys for the great pics.

The 360WB/370WB was removed from the price lists on November 1, 1995.

Mine is an '84, with X bracing & an extra thick top. Wow, is it heavy....slinging a 330 on afterwards makes the 330 feel as if its made of balsa!

I'd really like a 90's WB, with it's more modern method of construction & of course, it's beautiful rich FG.

I can remember playing a new Ruby 370/12WB in a music store in 1982-83; I can remember going WOW out loud when I saw it hanging in the store.

I know that there are photographic issues, but on the face of it, the colour of that '92 is about as good as it gets IMO.
