All I can say about the 360/12FG I got is thank God the slots went all the way through the headstocks. I had two 450/12s in the past that were always a pain in the shorts to change, and that 2 strings to a hole on the tailpiece deal was also a pain.

Both tailpieces look beautiful, but it would be very nice if they were more user friendly.

As Kog mentioned,the use of a capo is the trick.I usually lay mine down on a table and like Clint said, a nice cold one or two and a good cd in the stereo . I remove the center 4 strings then work my way outward on both sides,its something i rather enjoy doing.
