I own A vintage 1960 365F Mapleglo with Rick-o-sound.
In the Official price guide of vintage guitar they wrote -ONLY 10 MADE - Is it true or not?

Welcome, Joel.

The figure of 10 may or may not be accurate, depending upon where the information is being taken from. Suffice to say, they didn't make many of these at anytime, they are fairly rare for sure...IMO it is very possible that 10 is all there were, it is a believeable number to me.

Thank you John

I play with this guitar since over 25 years and I prefer the action/touch of my 365F more than my Gibson Lp Custom and my Lp Deluxe
It a great great Guitar

Nice! I've owned a '60 365, '61 360 and a 345F. Very cool guitars, all!

Joel, I think there is someone here on the Forum who owns one if I'm not mistaken...maybe we can find a pic or two. It's a Fireglo guitar...
