Are these inlays new?

Post by mojo_jojo »

I thought they didn't go edge-to-edge on the 360?

It's interesting to see a guitar with the new inlays next to the old. Much brighter and bolder

The new full width inlays are a vast improvement.

The new inlays make a HUGE difference.

Now, if they would just return to 21 fret necks, giggle.

I still like the old ones too. Those two MIDs look a lot different.

Great picture Wes! It really illustrates how much the new inlays "pop".

I Like the new inlays better. But I also agree that they should have 21 fret necks

That's why I'll never own a "standard" series Rick again, the 24 fret necks just look off to me. V & C series for me

yeah, I totally agree. I love the harmonics you get with a 21 fret, plus the spacing of the frets makes it easily possible to play leads. I couldn't do that with my old 24 fret Rics. Now...if they could make the 360 with check binding, 21 frets, and that little "flat curve" on the upper horn, like the vintage models, it'd be awesome. Not that it has to be a vintage reissue or anything, as they have been making the 360 all along (and they'd be easy & cheap changes to make!). In any case, the inlays look great. :D

Cheers,

If they were going to go through all that trouble of specing it out like that, I'm sure it would be a V series model. 360v65?

How about just a 360/6c63, like the 360v64...just take 6 strings off.
