360/6 concerns and Ric concerns in general.

My 360/6 has a buzzing sound near the bridge. When I place my hand on the saddle cover and push it seems to go away. Do I need to tighten some screws or are the saddle springs making the buzzing sound? Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure that's the bridge height screws that are loose.
Check for some loose ones and tighten the one just a bit so it stops moving around.

And dare I say, "add some Loctite to those screws"?

Getting back to a couple of comments above, you buy something for what it is, not for what you think it should be. Mr. Hall has it right. The Rics with the "R" tailpieces are made the way they are as part of a total design package to produce a certain sound. What you see is what you get. You can't expect a Fender Blues Junior amp to sound like a Marshall half-stack. I mean, what is there to understand? I am dead happy with the 360 I have. Best guitar I have ever owned and played, no question. I can't compare it to a Les Paul or a Strat. It is what it is --- what I can compare is overall quality, and a Ric has just about everyone else beat hands down. But, gee, don't buy a Ric and complain cause it doesn't sound or play like an XYZ guitar. If you want the XYZ sound and feel, then buy one of them, and leave the Ric for someone who appreciates it for what it is. End of sermon.

You tell em Paul. I've got all three brands you mentioned and they are totally different in every way and I love each one for what it is. I alternate playing them day to day and it still amazes me how they each have their own feel, sound, and play-ability. LARRY, try inserting a strip of a surgical glove where the "R" tail piece sits on the tail mount, that might help to keep it from sliding side to side so easily, or by a Gibson with a tail stop. Later.
