question about 360 WB necks

[gollygeeswell]

In getting ready to purchase a Rickenbacker and have a question. In the past I've owned a 330. It was a 2001. I loved the neck on it. I'm looking at 360 WB's. Is the neck on a 360 wb the same as on a regular 360? I haven't played a 360 in forever but I remember their necks as being very narrow. Am I remembering correctly that the 360 neck is narrower than the 330? And if so did that apply to the 360 wb? Thanks so much!

Am I remembering correctly that the 360 neck is narrower than the 330?

Nope -- 330 and 360 necks are the same width (as is the 620). The 650 and 660 are the ones with the wider necks.

And if so did that apply to the 360 wb?

I am 95% sure that the 360 WB has the same neck as a regular 360.

If you're talking about neck thickness rather than width, the neck profiles for both models have varied somewhat over the years but I think the 330 and 360 necks have always been the same at any given time.

It depends on the year; an early 80s or earlier 360 WB, like the 330, and 360, has a narrower neck with a more curved 9' 1/2" radius than a late 80s or early-mid 90s 360 WB with a flatter 10" radius.

My 1981 has a 1 5/8 inch nut and a rather rounded profile.
