Jetglo is Jetglo unless you get a GrayGlo !!! I really like to know the TRUE story behind those.

If I have my 360 JG in a room up close to a Flourecent light it looks like Gray Black.
Otherwise a beautful Shade of Black. The contrast of Black with white guard and binding is really sharp.
Everyone who sees it loves it even my wife and she doesn't like black guitars until she saw the 360 JG.
...went in to buy a 52' Tele and walked out with a 360 Jetglo...

The black and white features of the Jetglo are indeed classic. Further, checkered binding on the Jetglo is perhaps the most striking of all.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

I'm so OCD now, I play with a cloth diaper on my lap. Between sets, I wipe down the neck and strings....IF I had a Jetglo, I'd be wiping it down AS I'm playing it! :lol:
i've never had a problem with fingerprints on me '90 360/12WB ....maybe with the many coats of Zymol, fingerprints just slide off :P

The Walmart brand cotton diapers work well for playing and wiping down simultaneously. A good fretting grip resonates quite nicely through the cotton. Danny Gatton's trick of wiping the beer off the fretboard while playing a ripping solo is actuall easily accomplished, and fun to do.

Never, ever drool on your surf shirt. It wrecks the solo.

Too funny. Antidote? Latex gloves. Make a fashion statement! You'll play like **** but at that point, who cares?

Yeah..Jetglo is awesome.

I mean it's like....the question comes to mind, is..." how much more black can it get?" and the answer is "none....none more black..".

I particularily like Jetglo w/gold pickguards & TRC . Would love a v64 with gold guards..

What he said.....gold P/G and TRC set against a black background is killer, man. Who has a pic of a 330, 340, 360, or 370 with this setup? I've seen and played 660/6 +12 JGs with the gold/gold combo and with the checkered binding, the Jetglos simply look stunning. Late.....Goofyfoot.

Yeah, I agree, man. Took a 660/12 JG down off the wall over at Truetone Music in Santa Monica several years back, locked myself in one of their sound rooms, played it for 45 minutes, and finished up the session just looking at it for 15 minutes. Late....Goofyfoot.
