That's what makes me iffy on getting a C series 325. I love my '96 325. It's 18 years old now and still looks and plays like a new guitar.

Re: 360W Neck Fit nad Finish
I want to take a few moments and provide a follow up on my 360w.
Ric authorized a warranty repair on the instrument at the beginning of the year. They refretted the instrument and refinished the back of the neck. If plays great now, and the difference is huge.
They did the work without removing the binding on the fretboard. Instead they planed down the fretboard and binding slightly to give a new surface, refretted and finished. The inlays are just a bit thinner now--and, interestingly, I can see the pegs of the side dots through them. It's kinda neat, and I feel like the instrument is a bit more interesting now.

Andy, the trc is not under pressure from the screws, making it bent like a bridge? Or is the headstock top not flat or perchance the trc is just not flat but bend by itself?
Maybe a little felt pad glued to the TRC but not to the headstock would take up the slack. I'm thinking of those smaller-sized felt "feet" hobby stores sell to put under homemade pottery and the like.
