If I wasn't heading down to NAMM, I'd offer to check this one out for any and sundry interested parties, but...

Damn! That is gorgeous.

Looks almost too good to be true. A refin, perhaps? The hardware looks well-worn (look at the jacknut); paint and guard look nearly new. Says "330-12" in the control cavty, but it's a 360OS. A newbie, yet. Let the speculation begin!

The seller wrote me just this this morning to authenticate it. Crazy.

I dunno, the knobs are saying "1993" to me. I'd love to see it in person...... :P

Depends how you define "360". Shark fins or body binding. The 1993 was in between.
The finish does look beautiful, I wonder what it'll go for.

Yes, definitely a 1993. It's serial number is smack bang in the middle of a batch that was originally shipped here to Aus

Probably a little talking going on behind the "stage" here, I would imagine....

If it sold, I hope they got a REAL good look at it. Hard to tell with those awful pics, it looked like a refin to me.

I've really been into the 1997 and the 1993 lately. The 1993 especially! I hope to one day get the chance to play (and hopefully own) one!

The 1997, I'll have no problem finding a reissue if I look hard enough...

Does anyone have any info on the RM1995? The only thing I know is that they were the export version of the 615.

No doubt they're hard to distinguish from they're stateside cousins, but were there any notable users of it, anyone have an original 1995?

Shows most of the models. I believe the 1993 model was on a seperate page.
