No, mine was (probably) the first one made, as it dates to December 1993:



The color is much nicer than my ****** digital camera makes it appear, as anyone who has seen it will attest!

I bought it from a dealer who was selling it for his brother, the original owner. It is the nicest playing 12 I own (better than the 660/12TPs and the 370/12RMs by far). After getting it, I confirmed with RIC that it left the factory that way and wasn't an aftermarket mod. I had it at the Confluence, but I guess you missed it ... there's always next year!

You're absolutely right, Jeff. The point I was trying to make is that the guitar's output will be reduced going into each amp. The pickups will drive the amp differently (e.g. - a cleaner tone, especially with high gains).

Yes I remember now. I thought it was just a regular 360/12v64 with a 3rd pickup added post-factory. Cool.
