Graham, That is one of the best refinned tones I have ever seen! I've always been a FG guy...till now! Peter and Tony love yours as well.

Nice contrasting instruments Noel. You have to love the classic jetglo with the white guards and triangle markers. Magic. And now for a little St. Patrick's Day magic.

I didn't post anything after that other picture because I was too jealous...
But man that's for sure one of the best looking guitars I have ever seen!

Peter, we should try to meet up some time if I ever go to Saint John, I could bring my 370 and you could try it out Image

Partick: It would be nice to meet. But please post away. I would love to see some photos of your 370.

Coming right up!

After seeing this picture on the eBay ad, I knew I had to buy it!

I like Burgundy, I find with the white guards and the white binding it looks stunning.

While I'm thinking about it, what's your whole collection? I know of your 480, the 350v63, and I think you have a bass too? I'd like to see a group shot Image

Sorry about the double post.
I wanted to add this one.

It really shows the nice curves of the body and the binding.

Gah, this thread is permeated with brilliance. I don't believe I've ever seen so many nice guitars in one place.

For the record, the old 360 (I guess the 360v64) has to be one of the most attractive Rics around. The double-binding really completes the look.

...and with that, Peter, that is one jealousy-inspiring guitar you have there.

Thanks Jeff. There are indeed some nice photos here. Nice curves Patrick. Howard, wait those Mach 3 blades are worth a fortune.

Peter, was your 1993 SPC a special order? The only other one I have seen with the "shark fins" is the Marty Wilson Piper. What the history on these?
