I prefer the shape of the 330.

Me too..........

Ooh....good idea. I'll have it turned into the Jim Krause Signature Limited Edition

Ooh, what an offensive thing to say The 360's so much better in looks than the 330... ask my 360 JG, she'll agree

After reading the posts after my reply above I see I ought to go for a 330 and get it changed to WB - great idea! I'd want a bound soundhole with it, though...

Intersting its all level 19 each......

330.....

......all day, every day, for ever and ever, Amen.

I think I need to apologize to my 360/6 FG after saying that, poor thing is already starting to feel like a stepchild since I got my 620/12 FG. BTW I didn't say better looks I said better shape ,, and if any one is giving away free Rickenbackers I'll take it. any model, any color

What a big surprise!

I too prefer the 330 shape ,but i'll vote for the 360 ,
cause i've never owned a roundy!

330!
The 360 is beautiful; but the shape of the 330 just works a little better for me..

Got a 330 already, but not a 360

I've got two 330s at present (2009 FG is for sale though) and I've just bought a 360/12 CW FG, but that has not arrived yet, so I'll go 360 for now! I love 'em all

I'd take either, really. Hey, it's free, right?
Since there's no sonic or functional difference, I prefer the 360 only because I find the rounded front and bound neck more comfortable to play.

Nice.....I voted for the 360 as I also have two 330's.

All things considered, I'd take a 360 because of the binding; to me it's the icing on the cake of a beautiful instrument.

IN A PERFECT WORLD, however, my ideal Rick is a 360 WB with Vintage pickups; it has the classic Rick body of the 330, plus the deluxe appointments and binding - to me, the Ultimate Rick.

I was lucky enough to acquire an almost-mint '93 360 WB FG 6-string recently, and it's currently at my dealer's shop waiting to have Vintage pickups installed, so life is very good right now....!

360 in Mapleglo. I have always wanted a 370 in Mapleglo like Roger McGuinns. I would get this and then later add a pickup, and possibly add a Bigsby or Accent.
