Melissa, yes one Ric, but my wife and I have talked about it and we are trying to have more...she's quite a lady! We just bought the Setzer Gretsch, but I am not become inspired by it.

Jerry, thanks for your interest, but the 360 is RED, not RUBY, Red was around for a short time, mine is a 1991...I think they called it Ferrariglo or something (LOL).

Check out this better pic:

Whoa. That color looks great!

It is indeed just called "Red", Steve.

Didn't Red come standard with Black Trim? It looks much cooler with the white/chrome.

Sorry, Steve. I jumped in and failed to comment on the 360, which looks fantastic - the second pic says it all. Very nice indeed!!

I'm guilty of contributing to thread drift as well Steve.

You have a great looking collection there.

Hey, I love the comments guys...I don't know what was referred to as "reverse trim". Because it's white trim? Well...I can easily non-reverse it..see I live up here in Canada and I can just black it out with a little hockey tape eh?

Well then Steve, I hope we get to meet, and show off our babies when Aitch and I visit the Tdot in September (11, 12 & 13).

Steve -- that red is gorgeous. (OK, what do I know? Red, ruby, cardinal, cherry....whatever. That's why my wife picks out my shirts.)

I don't know why I'm so flabbergasted by the color -- but it's just fantastic! I'll take one of those, and a BBR 330, please, to go.

By the way, the pic is the perfect size for my computer desktop! Now if I can just keep the drool off the keyboard....

Dean / Aitch

Great ...hope to see you there. You can recognize me...I'm the bald-headed fat ***** with the red 360. (big fire engine glo - or whatever they called it in the catalog).

Jerry, the best companion for the red 360 is a turquoise 381...ya know do the christmas theme.

I am always amazed at how many times after a gig someone will come up and say..."hey, a John Lennon guitar!" ...odd as John never played a red anything, but I know what they mean. I offer more amusement by saying that this particular one was actually owned by Elvis. Most folks then acknowledge they recall seeing him with it. Right

To clarify, if the "red" is metallic (clear red over silver), it's a "Ruby." Most Ruby's had white trim, but not all.
If it is solid fire-engine red with no metallic sheen, it is simply "Red." Most Red's had black trim, but not all.

Well, Steve, that Rick would be right at home with me because I, also, am a bald-headed fat p***k! But WITHOUT the red 360 (but I DO have a 360-12 FG).

Anyway, if it ever needs a new home...
