These look like standard models to me - so far - with non-standard details, rather than new models. I mean, would a previously available yet recently unavailable color & trim combination qualify as a whole new model? Particularly if there's a guitar and a bass available - that would be two new 'models', right? Even if the fretboard was a different wood?

Look at the guitar closely:
-ROS and Standard Jack Holes
-Double bound body, bound soundhole, neck binding
-21 frets
-Triange inlays

It's one of the Shinsedo 60th anniversary 360 C63 models done up in a one off pearl white finish with black binding.

I suppose, upon reflection, that a 'fifth model' was expected in the Shinsedo anniversary line, while in my own mind I concluded that it must be a 'new model' with all the speculation that it could be an F. Anyway, I'm distracted by the idea of a Shinsedo 310, so please forgive my assumptions. Carry on! NIce work, Paul!

Bwah! It begins.

Still looking forward to picking up my NAMM model 360Fc60 next January, Eric.

Well, at least I got the details of the guitar right, though my conclusion was wrong. The guitar is of the same construction as the Shinsedo models (except the wood for the fingerboard) though, yes? It's just the paint (and how it's applied, along with black, as opposed to white, binding) that's different, along with the fingerboard material, from looking at it, that's different, yes?

Wow, just as I dreamed it!! LOVE the look of the white and black....... sigh

...and with the ebony fretboard..... BIG sigh.... whimper, whimper

I'm totally confused now....

Are these models....
1. for the japanese market?
2. prototypes for prospective new models?
3. destined for Mr Craig-one off special on Ebay-Witty?

I'd rather have one of those 310C64MB - that white's too bright for my eyes! Although they look mighty interesting!

Well, we already know the JG and FG 360 C63s, along with the 310s, and C64 basses are limited editions for the Japanese market ot commemorate Shinsedo's 60th anniversary. It's the pearl white instruments that have everyone perplexed, I think.

If only that was it though....

Yep. My mistake. There is a "fifth", but it's not in this picture, although I thought it was...

Jeez, I know one has to keep company secrets, but is it necessary to torture everyone with it?!

Ahhhh...........the "Nick Thiel" limited edition.........I have several of those on order!

Just for you Paul..............Paul A that is......if only it had arrived in time for your Birthday
