Yes I do. Regular 360 is way cooler and sounds better. Quit trading guitars !

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said..no..no..no..maybe I need an intervention?

Dem's fightin' words!!!

-Just kidding Steve , but Mitch, if Steve's managed to persuade you towards his point of view, you can always PM me should you want to sell the V64.

I think you are way past that point. Only a supernatural event could turn you around from where you have ventured.

Really though, Peter Buck plays a 360JG, and who is cooler than Pete Buck? Who the heck ever played a 360v64JG, other than Mitch and some of you kind folks? That aside, I do prefer the sound of the regular 360, I think. I briefly owned a 1997 and felt it wasn't in the same league, sonically, as my 330 or 360, but hey, once you've dialed in your sound, it's sometimes tough to accept anything new.

How bout if I put a sticker on it?

That will help, although resale value could be affected. Usually, I don't worry about re-sale, but in your case, it is the most important factor! Sorry, I can't help myself. It's too easy . It seems like every week you tell us about a new guitar, and then a week later you sell it to get a different one. Go to therapy already !

This is my therapy.

haha, ok. I'll give you $1801 for it! For therapeutic reasons, of course.

Thank you very much Collin but I will have to decline your generous offer.

Whatever turns your crank!

Well, it wasn't JG, but Harrison played a 360/12 in the OS style, as does Tom Petty. Those are some pretty cool folks!

Double bound w/ pointy horns always wins in my book... Great score!

My sentiments exactly.

Yes they are cool. Still, I think after a few more years of doing this, Mitch is going to come full circle, and end up buying his first Ric back off of eBay, while selling the one in his possession at that time. That would "complete the circle", I would say. That should also complete the therapy sessions, and perhaps be a fitting end to a novel, or a play, or a short film, even.

Only thing is I still wouln't be able to play it.Actually I saw one just like it on ebay right before I pulled the trigger on the 360v64. I bought 325c58 on ebay in 2004 for $1150 and the one I saw last week was $2589.
