360/12C63 and 4001C64S

Thanks to Stuart for handling the pix. I tried...

I did a truss rod adjustment (neck had a bit of a bow) and it's even a better player than before. Hardest part is getting the TRC out from under all those strings without scratching it up.

Patience, guys, it's worth it!

I went up to TrueTone in Santa Monica today as I noticed they had been shipped one - still in stock in case anyone is interested. The neck on this guitar is just stellar - my favourite RIC neck yet. I liked it even more than my 350v63 and that's saying something. I'm totally (and tonally) in love. It's damn near perfect and such a looker. Someone call Dr. Robert, perhaps he has something for GAS. Here's a pic from my ultra-cruddy mobile phone cam:

Unfortunately it's out of my budget right now as I'm about to do a custom shop Gibson SJ-200 (Sorry RIC! Can't wait any more for your acoustics) with Madagascar rosewood back and sides. That's a neat guitar too.

It looks like the shipping has slowed down. Has anyone heard if this "run" has more to come? Cheers, RSG

If JH mentioned 150 or so on the floor I would imagine more are shipping.

I gotta believe that.

I have tried to track the orders (what do you mean anal?) and since JH made the post about having 125-150 on the production floor, less than 10 have shipped (but today's numbers are not posted yet). That should leave at least 115 or so.

If I remember correctly, each model instance on the recently shipped page can mean 1 guitar or multiple guitars.

I think each reference is a single guitar, as the dealer sites show multiple guitars of same model (e.g., NCM has 9 360/12c63 references). Still means lots of guitars coming in the run, but how many per week does Ric produce? I think Fender produces about 11,000 Squires a day. Ric, probably less than that...

Eight of those nine references showed up at the same time, also.

I believe Roger is correct. I know that two of the dealers listed received at least two "360/12C63 FG" models recently while the RIC site shows only one notation in their "recently shipped" list.

This also happened with my two "1996 AFG" models shipped from RIC back in March. They arrived at the dealer together. One box was marked 1/2 and the other 2/2.

You guys are killing me, here. So looking at the recently shipped page, and counting all the most recent entries (going back 4 weeks, maybe), I see 360/12C63 forty-six times. So that means they've either shipped 46 -- or not.

I am now going into a self-induced coma. Let me know when it's all over....

Mine came today. What a beautiful guitar. I haven't plugged her in yet, but will tonight. I will try to post pictures, but I can never seem to get it to work properly. My advise to you all is to not check the RIC site and just wait by the door for it to be delivered. It is a lot less painful

Congrats, Brian! X-0-0-0-1-3!

With as few c63s as it seems have been shipped over the past few days, I am actually a little hesitant to write, for fear that I could inflict unnecessary pain on my friends who are still Waiting for Godot; but I have to tell you that I got a call today that my 360/12c63 IS ON THE WAY TO MY HOUSE!!!!!!!
I'm stoked. I'll post pictures as soon as I get a chance.

Hey congrats, John! That's great -- nah don't be hesitant to let us all know about it. It is encouraging that at least some of you are getting yours after a long long wait. Post pix, and tell me again where you were in line prior to this last flurry of 46 or so shipped?
