1959 Capri 360

A mapleglo 325 (or related model - 320, 310, 315) with a nice warmed-up aged finish, white guard and trc, and an f-hole. Just about any vintage, though of course 60s would be ideal. After that, I think an azureglo 325 from the 70s or 80s. Sharp.

I would include double bound "F" and Capri models amongst those as well. So long as it's double bound, I'm interested.

Sea Green 330/12!

I've changed my mind. My bucket list Rick would be a 330/12 that need a restoration job; add double checkered binding, have the sound hole bound, toasters added, full width triangle inlays, 360 wiring, vintage knobs, and a never before seen burst finish.

We're not being influenced by anyone, are we, now?

I actually just got it!

It's a 1993 360 WB FG in fabulous, almost-mint condition; currently replacing the Hi-Gains with Vintage toasters, and detailing, buffing, and shining it to pristine perfection!

And, I just acquired my "other" bucket list guitar about a month ago; an awesome, almost-mint 360/12 C63.

The bucket's full, and life is GOOD!

Sounds like it, Bob - Congrats!

sigh...would have to be an f-hole Rose Morris model in fireglow, with trem. gorgeous, gorgeous guitar. i'd want a later day reissue though, since i'm a lefty, and would want the "proper" rick headstock, not the "upside down" one they used to do.

I'm with Wildberry. 370-12 but in Mapleglow.

I'm with you Bob.....just got mine.....381/12v69 in Monte Brown......a simply stunning instrument!!!

4005, 360F, '59 360 Capri, or lately I'm leaning toward jimK's way of thinking.

381v69 in fg

On the RIC corporate website, under Gallery/1960s/Basses, there is a pic showing a 4005 and a 4001. I would like to have the 4001:

Does anybody know what year those basses would have been built?
