Oh, I haven't settled on the "R", just trying it out. I do kinda like it, but I may even put the original stop bridge back on before I decide. If I don't use the Bigsby I'll just touch up the holes. The mahoganyglo look is fine with me for now. :)

I like the bigsby on it.My next guitar is a 09 330 FG with bigsby Oh yes it will be mine...........oh yes........OK the sound changed instantly when i put on the trapeze for the worse and i realised that i needed a full set up.After a backbow,fret leveling and a few tweaks here and there it was sounding good.So now the toasters have arrived best way to describe my new 360 VP is like terror on a winter morning.

Cool. I notice one thing that the "R" brightens up the sound, which is a good thing for these pickups. With the Bigsby it sounded more dense. I'm going to try the stock TP too before I decide.

I have to admit I actually like the "R" on this guitar when I haven't liked it on the 320 it came with. It has a kind of cowboy belt buckle charm when you put it on this honky tonk princess. 8)

VERY VERY NICE BBR Scott! :D

You must let me know how the toasters are sounding compared to the hi gains on your 360 too.

Aye, there's something about a good blueburst with the gold trimmings.

After having them on my 330FG for 3 years or so, I just swapped my toasters for the new hi-gains. I'll let you know how I like them in a few weeks.
