new 360 fg

Post by rick360 »

Hi everyone,
I just received my new 360 in FG. I have to say, the color is better than what I was hoping for. A nice deep red fading to almost amber in the center. The action is fantastic and the intonation is dead on, better than anything else I've played. It was a bit of a wait but it was worth it. A satisfied customer for sure.

Rick360.....You'll find this place to be a comforting and interesting place to hang out. Welcome to the canteen, brah. Do post pics of your Ric when you have some time. The current crop of FGs is admittedly stunning. Peace, out.....Goofyfoot.
Play on, pick often, jam with any Rickenbacker, and prosper.

I too would love to see photos of your new Rick. I'm really curious as to what the '08 version of FG looks like.

The 2008 360 fireglo's that I have seen are amazing. Probably the best fireglo finishes I've ever seen. If you get your guitar this year (and damn, you should!) you are in for a treat! The ones I've seen have a really rich, dark red outer, fading beautifully to show the wonderful grain of the wood in the centre.

I thought the fireglo on my 330 was the best I'd ever seen until I saw the finish on the new 360's, hot damn, Rickenbacker are cooking with that finish this year, which is great after some of the rather disappointing Amber fireglo's I saw last year, that finish just didn't do it for me I'm afraid.

Hope you get it soon!

post OK. Of course, the colors are always a bit different in person, but the photos are a pretty good example of how the guitar looks.

Oh yes! And there it is.

Superb.

Not sure what they're doing differently over at Ric, but the fireglo finish on these is breathtaking.

He's called "Eric Behring". I saw a whole rack of new FGs while at the factory last Friday. I was dumbstruck. These are the best new FGs I've seen. The pics are great, but in person these will have you looking for your socks.
