I've just found this picture of Brian Jones sporting a 360. I think it's suitably cool to share with you all...

i adore the stones.

Good call Sean - and I had no previous knowledge of the great man using rics! I'm over the moon!

Looks like a 12 no...?

Brian was one cool talented guy! Wish he had made it through his troubled times. He could have contributed so much more to the music scene.

Yep, a 360/12.

Very cool indeed Robert. Here are a few more.

The first color one, from Peter, a custom order? It looks like a 360V with an F hole. It's too hard to tell what the inlays are.

Stan, it's probably a RM 1993..same one in the b&w pic on pg.2 of the link Peter posted above...

I just had to go put on my new Abkco mono 12 X 5 LP. It's my third or fourth copy since the first one I got for Christmas in 64 or 65, sounds unbelievable in glorious vinyl mono. 'Baby, here I stand before you with my heart in my hand'

He was The Stones.

True, Bob, but found himself the same way Gene Clark did with the Byrds...out of the band. A lot of similarites there.

Think you are right, John, RM 1965 model '93. Had to look it up.

I don't know how true this is but I heard he was really bad with Seconals (usually is a cover for heroin) and that was why he was thrown out, don't know though.

Seconals, heroin, LSD, booze all played a part, and his abuses, as you allueded to, was the primary reason for him getting the boot. I think he got where he couldn't function very well. If you get a chance read 'Old Gods Almost Dead' (if you haven't already)...pretty good stuff on the Stones and Jones.

In one pf those pics, the bags under his eyes were terrible. What a waste of talent. He was too young to die.
