Jason, congratulation on your newest acquisition. However, I probably have gone with
This Strap.

Hmm.
I wonder if you could have someone make some mods without really messing it up...
I would really like to see this bound in gold to match the pickguard and TRC. Also, I would like to see the fingerboard with an amber clearcoat. Switch to classic nobs and finally, gold plate the keywinds. Ooh, and goldplate toasters and put them in.

Wow, Jason. I just love that colour. I'm waiting for a 330 Anniversary myself. I debated which 300 series to buy and finally picked the 330 because I didn't want any binding, just loads and loads of uninterrupted dark cherry metallic. The binding does set it off nicely, though.
I say black strap with that one. The gold guards give it enough contrast. You need something that blends in and complements it.
I'm already mooting modifications, I have to admit. At the time of purchase, I'd already decided that my next Ric was going to be a "stock" 330 with high gains. (My other Rics are VP and humbucker equipped, so this will be my first taste of the high gain pick up.) I plan on adding an Accent vibrato and (possibly) switching out the pickguards so that I can stop worrying about scratching the laser-etched logo. Oven knobs perhaps? Burns style knobs? I dunno yet.
The big temptation for me will be to drop a couple of Ric HB's in there. I'll do my best to fight that one off.

Nice, Jdog! You are lucky to have your's already. Now go play Supper's Ready on it.

Those are some interesting ideas. I think I'll leave this one as is, though.
Supper's Ready? I don't think so... I'm more of a Rutherford guy than a Hackett guy. If Biscuti put on some big nerd glasses, he'd look like young Hackett, though... hmmm. John? What do you say? We could start The Musical Box Too!!!

I just got back from the Mandolin Bros. with my 360. They called this morning that it had arrived. It sure is beautiful. The previous pictures capture it very well. The warranty card says: 360DCM Special Edition.

Don't feel like you are alone Alisha. I'm still waiting for my call as well. It can't be much longer -- can it?

Thanks, John. Unfortunately they don't put out in the showroom guitars that have first right of refusal on them.
