It's just that I rarely get a good idea so I need to plug it as hard as I can. It could be a while before another idea comes along.

I'd say keep the C series the beatles guitars... and the V series for more general reissues...

I'd love to see a 330 reissue... 21 frets! Woo!

Though, to be honest, many of the cosmetic things I always wanted a v series anything for are now being done. Those nice full length inlays, the groovy smaller headstock shapes and the nice big bass heads with the walnut side wings! It's all happening!

360/12v64 guitars are always god all-around instruments. I've often played original music on one.

With another NAMM come and gone, I guess no new "C" Series guitars either.

If they do, I would hope that the option of having soundhole binding is offered; it would make the guitar look even better; the unbound soundhole of the OS models makes it look unfinished or naked in contrast to the other surfaces of the guitar that are bound, and soundhole binding really accents/highlights the soundhole shape. :D
But then, that would not be accurate any more!
Not really, because back in the day, if you asked for something special, like sound hole or headstock binding, you could get it!

I am surprised guys would like to see a round front 360/370 RI that badly; I never thought it was that exciting of a model to begin with, and there have already been two reissues of that type, plus the overruns, and the Japan only market RI. then again, I'm biased; if it isn't double bound, I probably wouldn't buy it! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

A limited edition is not equivalent to a reissue. And the Japanese reissues might as well not even count. Basically the choice one has is between a ridiculously flamey CW or a ridiculously expensive thick-topped RM. If you can find one.

wrt topic: Don't forget the non-Beatle C instruments Japan got last year. (or was it 09?) you know, the 310C63, etc, or whatever they were. The ones with the leftover hardware from the Beatle C's.

I think there are enough C's to warrant demand for a 4001C68! LOL
