Hi,
here is my 360/12 jg, unremarkable except that it took me 24 years to get one!



That was in July.
And then 6 months later this 360fg came along wearing nought but a coat of paint... gradually acquiring bits.

Here 's my two again, same old pics

1989 360/12V64



1999 360/6V64

This lives in an attic down south somewhere...

I should get mine refinished like that!
Eden.

After we played a gig last weekend I got a picture of me sat beside my 3 babies.

BTW. The amps in the background are not mine! (I use an AC30)

Looking good rob! whos the old boy on the left?

It's an old out of date thing that seen better days and really needs trading in for something more desireable. The band are looking at the 'Gary Barlow' model.

Forgot to post this- my butcher-baby 360FG after being rebuilt. Non-original bridge or pickups, but that is hopefully being taken care of.

Nice one Mark, how does it play/sound?

Cheers Rob. The action is ridiculously good- maybe too low, but I haven't decided yet!
Soundwise it's great, although I'm assured that when I replace the Eastwood pickups with HiGains it will be miles better.
Nevertheless it has become my No1 6 string. I never realised it would be so versatile!*


*Do I get the advertising job then?

Where did you get the guitar from Mark and why didnt it have the pkups and Bridge with it?
Scott from a grim up north, north of grim.

I bought the carcass of the guitar from a guy on ebay who'd got it from the seller in America who parts-out Rics. (the full sorry story, lol).
At the time I bought it I saw it as a long-term project but once I'd started acquiring bits it made sense (since when did sense have any part to play in GAS?!) to get the beast up and running.

Ah thanks mark! im sure when you get the parts your after youll love it more!
