Will it ever return: the full length 350

Post by Kees »

It would be cool to see a modern 350 with a mature neck reappear in the future. Like the Hoffs model, with binding, three (or rather 2!) higains (not the humbucking nonsense, please!) and a somewhat smaller scratchplate (they are almost aligned with the edges of the guitar on the Hoffs model and thereby a bit oversized [to my taste of course]).

Any other ideas on this model? Would there be a market for it?

There were 350 models on display in the RIC booth at NAMM; unless one is completely wedded to having an "R" tail piece, why not jut buy one of those and install hi gains if one wants them; the vintage appointments look cooler, IMO. :)

Everybody has personal preferences. Yours are obviously quite important to you.

Since RIC is not a custom shop and can't tailor their guitars and basses to individuals, the adaptation of a model close to your ideal, to match your ideal, is a process that has to be accomplished with the assistance of aftermarket parts and services when required, along with advice from helpful enthusiasts.

Here you are. Here we are.
