Bring back the 360F

As if RIC doesn't have enough on their plate already...
I would love to see the return of the 360F and its variants. I would blithely put down my hard-earned shekels on one right now. Bring back the whole line. 360F, 370F, 360F/12, etc.
I would even like to see a modern adaptation of it: 360F with a 650 style bridge maybe? Piezos? Walnut would be lovely too.
I've not once had my hands on a 360F in person.
I would love to have one in my collection, for use in my studio, and on stage.
Naturally, a Jim Reeves style Blueboy finish would be nice.
If the 360F ever sees another day in the sun, I would certainly buy both a six and twelve string version.
Anyone else care to see its return?
Cheers, Noel

I played a early 60's 360F at a store in Chicago a few years back. Beautiful guitar, I always wanted one, the store wanted a bit too much for it I thought, it had some issues. I would sure be interested in a new one though.

They are indeed fab. I love 'em. The ones I've played look and play great. If RIC were to make them - which I doubt - they might be ready next decade. Might.

Noel-- Your idea gets my vote. I've never seen one in person, and probably never will. But they look great in the pictures and I'm sure the re-issues would be a tremendous addition to the current Ric lineup.
