Hahahahahaha!!

Thanks for the pix John!
Now I'm really drooling.
How do some people wait one or two years for their RICs?

Man, I don't know what it is, maybe these newfangled higains, but this guitar sounds SO good.

That's it John.
Why don't you just rub it in a little.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

I have to say I do like the 330 more than the 360. The 330 just looks cleaner without the binding disturbing the dark cherry colour. Eric, you've done a very nice job of it there.

Thanks Will...None of this could be possible without all of the supporting cast here at RIC doing their thing,and doing it well.

The 330 happens to be my favorite of the bunch also.

And mine! I have no doubt it will be a stunning addition to my small stable. I'll second Will's pat on the back, Eric - the entire team at RIC are to be congratulated on the 75th instruments but the guys/gals in the paint department get my vote.

And Paul, of course, for the gold accoutrements!

+1 to everything Aitch.

And don't forget to thank JH for personalizing, numbering, and hand-signing all the certificates! It was such a nice surprise.

I will if one comes with mine, John. Maybe yours is unique!

I take the opposing view here. Although the 330 looks spectacular (no arguing that John, Ben, Eric et. al. have done a tremendous job of it with this model), the 4003 and 660s will present a different esthetic with their binding, which adds another level of contrast and detail for the observer's eye to focus upon. A double-bound 360 in this color with aged binding would be beautiful! Too bad they're history.

This is one of the minority of colors that looks great on curved surfaces AND flat surfaces with sharp corners. You can't say that about most colors.

Wow, Biscuti, you sure have gotten cocky since you turned 21...

Fair enough, Paul. I must admit to not studying the 4003 at the 75th to any great extent (me?.... blase?.... never!) and because of that I can't really pass constructive comment. I guess when the 4003 and 660 are out there and we see pics of them I'll be in a better position.

However, I can say that I prefer the 330 to the 360. Not a criticism at all - just a personal thing.

Hell! When you think about it, owning any one of the 75th instruments will be a buzz.... only 1 of 75 ever made - how good is that??

Oh... and yes - Buscuti is a young upstart!

What certificates? My 360 DCM didn't have one.

Must have gotten lost in shipping!
