One question:
You own such a beauty and "do not know so much" about it?! - Sounds like an interesting story that has to been told!

So the Pic posted above are better than anything I have with me and the guitar is across the country in storage at the moment (in my parents home not some garage encase anyone was worried)

Ok the story of the Rick.

I wanted a Rick for awhile and the drummer and friend in the band I had been in was the manager of a store that sold Ricks. It was the year of the Seagreen color and I really wanted one in that color after seeing Mitch Easter's Seagreen 381V69 (which was quite nice but I think he has since sold). Even tho they said they were only doing a limited run of the color (it was late in the year) my friend's store had enough pull to get them to do one for me. I picked the 360 v64 model because I wanted the toster tops and the double binding.

I got the guitar after a bit of a wait was very happy with it but by that time I was only playing bass so the rick never saw a gig. I took it out from time to time and played it but mostly it stayed unused. I did manage to get one chip in the lower bout, on the front of course, can't even remember how it happened now.

I knew that it was semi rare because of the color but had forgotten the model number and since that model was no longer on the site I thought it might be a 330 since that was the only thing that looked similar.

I would be interested to know how many seagreen 360 v64s there are out there I guess at least one more from the pictures the other guy posted.

Great story (except for the ding part). Thanks for sharing.

It looks like it's just you and me (the other guy) buddy, at least for the time being. There evidently is also a 360/12V64 in Sea Green out there.

An under the bed guitar - in this colour...

Thank You for sharing the story and the pictures!

Maybe a good (!) paint shop for cars can help You to make disappear that very small and zoned chip. - If it is important for You.

I have one tiny photo of the 360/12 V64 in SG that I saved from the web, but it's ridiculously tiny and low res. IIRC, the guitar was hanging on the wall at Pick of the Ricks at the time.
There is no reason to ever be bored.

...why yes, I suppose I do have a double bound guitar fetish...
