Carl Wilson of the Beach Boys

[GSRIC]

Would love to hear from those who are familiar with Carl Wilson and his use of Rics.....When he first started using them, Who he collaborated with from Ric in designing his special 360/12CW, how much thinner the top of the guitar is compared with regular 360's, how popular the CW models were when first issued.

I think that Carl had some discussions with John over some various concepts, but after Carl died in '98, a consentual descision was made between John and Carl's estate to make the CW model a reissue than a new design. I'm pretty sure that's how it went down.
