Are you in the Napa Valley by any chance? There could be a Nor Cal Ric jam coming in the spring.
Yes, Roger, if you are in Nor Cal area, you should check out the upcoming BARC Confluence ... in April ! So we can all check out this beauty of yours !!

A 360 with toasters is always a joy to behold. Awesome FireGlo too. I'm sure you'll love it when you get it. Cheers !

Congrats and welcome to the forum, Roger.
If I may ask, is this guitar a new purchase? And, who added the toasters?
It's a beauty!

It came from the factory with toasters. Hence the VP for vintage pickups.

I didn't realize that the factory was honoring special orders for VP's since Hi-Gains are standard on this model.
Cool that they are, though. The guitar is a real beauty.

I am surprised that more dealers don't order guitars this way-I am not sure if even the dealers are aware of the option.

Its from "old stock" made in 2008.
It's hard to get a good photo. Got it today, and so far, I like it a lot.
I'm playing it through an Egnater Rebel 30 head and cab. Still figuring out the controls.

Sounds good through my Egnater, but I've got the itch for a new amp. Any recommendations? Vox?

Yeah, a Ric and Vox combination is one that makes a lot of folks happy.
There are lots of threads here on people's recommendations for amps and the pro's and con's.
