The owner? You mean Olivia's?

And at $4.7k, who said dreaming is free?

...and this isn't even the same guitar.

A '64 360S/12 O.S., just like the one PT played/smashed. Tall order, I know...

Of course, I'd "settle" for a '64-65 RM1993.

I have one of mine: Eventually, I'll have one done up in Blue Boy with CB, along with one in "Fire Engine Red" as JH refers to the color, and of course the road weary 330 I bought that's presently being transformed by Dale in Jet Glo.

Yes, I admit it; I'm WB crazy.

The "creamsicle" finish on the 620 owned by Danes Misses is also quite appealing. Maybe I'll....

I second the Jazzbo, I also want a JG 360 OS.

I'll be happy with the one I ordered. It's something along the lines of this one. The image I swiped off the web.

Holy ****, that has to be one of the worst FG's I've seen!!! I hope yours doesn't come out like THAT!!!!!

I like binding, too - I'd settle for a 330 shaped white-bound FG or AFG with full-width inlays and toasters, in both 6 and 12 string models - a matched set! Actually, I'm not sure why these aren't already offered...!

According to RIC management, "in a word, cost". It's a maybe someday possibility from the 500 item list.

Until then, one has to contact one of the forum luthiers and request a 330 to 360 WB FWI conversion for that look!

....And while we're at it, let's put a 660 neck on the 12-string! Now THAT would be COOL!
I know that the cost to convert a 330 to a 360WB is over $1,000 - don't you think that RIC could add binding during the production process and justify the cost increase for a guitar like this? To me, it would be the quintessential Ric model.

Like these?

EXACTLY! Clive, you're awesome - wouldn't everyone want a pair of these?

The mythical, probably never to be seen in my lifetime 360/12 with a 660 neck.

To dream the impossible dream...

It's the COLOR
not the shading.

It sounds like you're describing basically any 360v64 or 360/12v64 models. Widely available on ebay these days. SO, Ric has been there done that for over ten years now, before they just switched to the c63 model, which is similar.

True, but I want NEW ONES! And the C63 is only available in 12-string....
