Recent Changes ?

Post by Wurlitzer »

What year did RIC change the finishing process ?

Which year were the longer inlays introduced ?

Which year did the headstock become slimmer ?

Yeah that would be something,I just don't think it will happen and I don't know why...The CEO even said once many moons ago he had no use for the extra frets.

Which direction are you looking at the guitar from? :wink:


I agree though, it's width, as they are known as FWI (full width inlays).

Well, my 360 has a scale length of 62.9 cm or 24 3/4'' and inlays that are not full width, but if some people like guitars with a scale width of that size to go with their full length inlays... :mrgreen:

The ramp changes from time to time. I noticed that the 2010 330 model I have has a got slightly different shape than the actual ones.
