The beauty of a 350/12V63

voyager55 · Post by **voyager55** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 6:59 pm

Hi,
I am new to this forum and had only one topic in the guitar section before - however I want to share this one - my first Ric - a 350/12V63.
Bought it 3 months ago used but in mint condition (manufactured in 2005) - Have fun !

Three glossy toasters - sound as they look

Trapeze tailpiece, needs careful handling while restringing, octaves first into the grooves

Headstock might look somewhat confusing - I love the way strings vanish into their machines

The case and the beauty

Just another body shot

Look at those extended pole pieces - the real vintage

and here's one of my favourite pics - scratch plate detached and flipped up, a macro shot

with some dust on the glossy finish

Hope you've enjoyed viewing as much as I do playing

Cheers,
Peter

That extended pole piece shot is incredible, Peter.

Here's a hint:

I always have a can of "Dust-Off" and also a feather-duster with me when I shoot my projects.

Just before taking those photos, a quick spritz or swipe, clears those nasty dust motes. They are a distraction that can really spoil a really tremendous shot!

+1, Great pics!

I'm gonna have to try for some of those artsy, dramatic shots one of these days...

Hi

,

many thanks for all the kind responses !
Especially for hints how to make it even better - keeping away the dust - I have to take more care next time

was too excited then.

I am sure there will be some follow up's of a new 4003 Fireglo bass very soon - need more sun over here

Have fun !
Peter

Dust is a major PITA, especially with Jetglo and chrome.
