Bound neck w/ dots

Post by tntele »

I passed on the 360CW and have decided to order either a 330 or 360 in BBR. Here is my dilemna -- I really like the neck binding on the 360, but like the dots on the neck of the 330. I know that there is not a Rick "Custom Shop", but has this combination every been produced except on the Lightshows? BTW, the 360CW was not as advertised, it has beat all to heck. It sure did sound good though -- I could only imagine what a 360CW w/ dot neck in BBR would look like! WOW!

i honestly don't know if it had a bound head. The guitar is mentioned by richard smith in his ric book and you see the body & neck in some period pictures of cw. I honestly don't know. The tony bacon book has pix of bound head rics if you need a resource.
