I've never been so confused. First you say you bought a 330, then a 360, the title of the thread says 330, but the pictures are of a 360. Furthermore, the first batch of pictures looks like a different guitar than the second batch. By the way, the first set of pictures is the best fireglo I have ever seen, the second one not so much. Further complicating matters is the bottle of booze I sucked down at last night's CD release party. Ugh ...

You're too funny, Steverok. But yeah, excuse you for paying attention because......well, you were paying attention. Good for you. I posted this thread less than two hours after returning home from the dealer. I must've had forum member Wildgift's 330/6 JG in my cranium. He'd posted a thread earlier about scoring his Ric at a local Socal shop. I PM'd him and he was gracious enough to advise me where he bought his Ric. That led to my last-minute dash over to the dealer and coming home with my 360/6 FG. Of course, when I discovered my error the next day in the thread title and single reference to a 330/6 FG in the text, it was too late to edit the posting. Posting #4 in this thread is mine and contains a correction.

Both sets of pics are of the same 360/6 FG. The first set of pics was taken that night in the hallway with overhead bulb lighting. I didn't use the flash on my Canon SLR digital nor a tripod. I manually set the shutter speed to s-l-o-w and widened the aperture. It's a pretty heavy camera body and with the huge lens attached to it, I had to concentrate holding the camera still long enough for the shutter to snap. That's why there's noise in the first set of still pics. They're slightly blurred.

Yesterday's pics were taken late afternoon with more ambient lighting present. Again, I didn't use a flash. The manual mode was easier to negotiate because increased lighting quickened the shutter speed. Your point is well taken, though. It just goes to show you how lighting, or lack thereof, can change the ambience especially when a flash isn't used.

So, Steverok, it wasn't the liquor that caused your confusion. It was ME! Hoist one for me, will ya? Late......Goofyfoot.
