OOOOOhhhhhh Kay!

What I didn't want to say earlier, was my dealer ALSO had a 360 DCM just sitting there unclaimed!

Soooooo today I drove over there to take a look at it and it was a beauty. It was far better than any pic I've seen to date. The CV was polished so it looked wet. I could see the metallic flakes underneath (which dazzle in the sunlight).

And this particular 360DCM had the most amazing fingerboard I've ever seen! The grain swirls like ocean waves with beautiful colors. I MUST post pics. I am going to try tonight. It goes beautifully right next to my 360-12 BBR and my 360 FG VP. Oh yeah... I bought it.

Of course I did. How could I not? I got it at list price, but I'm going to have to find that one ebay listing where the 360DCM was going for $2600+ to convince the wifey this was a smart thing to do.

One thing I noticed immediately is Paul's gold TRC is longer, sharper and more curved than the standard white TRC. The 75th TRC goes a good half an inch passed the farthest keywind. Also, the screws are in a different place than the normal TRC. So this isn't something that is going to be moved around between guitars. BTW - very nice job done there to the staff at RIC and Paul W. Thanks!

I was going to announce that this 360 was available last night, but something held me back (greed or lust possibly). Now I'm glad I did.

I feel kind of bad though for those who are still waiting. But not TOO bad... heh heh.

One thing... the metallic flakes in the sunlight are all different colors... I thought they were all silver, but they are purple, orange, red...

In the words of Borat... Vedy nice!

So I guess you can put me on the list.

Oh, by the way, this color is going to look great on all the models.

For some reason, I thought the 4003 DCM at the factory in August looked like very blackish. But maybe it was just the lighting, or it was just the variance of being the first. I LOVE the color now.

Brad, if that was at the dealer I think it was, you should personally thank all of the looky-loos that jammed up the I-5 northbound traffic Sunday north of Oceanside ... before the traffic messed up my schedule, I had planned on stopping by that dealer for another reason, and had I seen the guitar, I might have grabbed it. Congrats!

Thanks all. Yeah Gary, if you were thinking about getting off on oh... say Culver... then I AM lucky!

If you're in the mood for the 330, you might want to talk to James over there. A 660 is still available as of Tuesday too.

So how many of the people listed on this forum as ordering 360's have received them? I have mine. Who else.
