Honestly, I really like my 325/12v63, but it's limited in playability by scale. Also, I can't see that there would be a great market for one at this point. They do have a unique sound that's different from a 360 though, which is one of the strengths of the model.

Not true; the C has nothing whatsoever to do with the Beatles and was intended to be a series of classic, collectible, circa-whatever instruments of limited marketing time duration. The only reason there have not been more C Series instruments is only that the large backlog makes it silly to add models right now.

The V series instruments were intended to be more permanently part of the line, at least as far as the other models are permanent.

The V-series guitars are great. I don't have any C-series, but the 325/12 that was a part of the V series does feature the vintage-spec toasters and other features that were starting to make their way back into the line. You don't get the absolute exact body construction, but that's not everything sometimes.

This is because, like everyone else, I have personal preferences, too. So I know they'll sell at least one.
Can't you just build a ........................ yourself? :lol:

A 320 with humbuckers, gold trc and pickguards would do for me.

Didn't Ed Roman in Las Vegas used to get all kinds of '60s styled 330s and 360s some years ago? I notice he doesn't seem to have a dealership anymore. I wonder where those guitars are? I almost bought a JG '60s styled 330 from him once back in 2003 or so.

I thought those '60s styled, 21 fret 330s and 360s were a great Idea.

Plus, they made a limited edition of the 325/12 in 1999, Matt Bowling owns one.
I do too, Jake. I don't think I'd buy another reissue.

I've owned and sold two of them. They're fun but limited as described above.

Now, Jim, in reference to your question.. what would be different? As noted by others above, TONS of things!!!!!! new ones are nice, but once you go 60's you usually don't go back, at least not happily nor willingly!!!
