If I wanted to buy a new Rick which is similar to what G. Harrison used--- which model should I order? It seems to me the body of the new ones is not the same.

Julio: Order a new 360/12C63. It would be very hard to get any closer.

BETTER YET LOOK FOR A 360/12V64, NO LONGER
AVAILABLE NEW BUT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO
FIND A LIKE NEW. MAKE SURE IT HAS 12 SADDLE
BRIDGE

Julio: I am inclined to agree with Ralph on this one. You should be able to get a very good price on a used Fireglo 360/12V64. The 12 saddle bridge is also a good idea.

Julio,
Another vote for the 360/12V64. They are VERY similar, but you will get a better price on the "V"

You might want to wait until the C series are no longer MIA - then the V series prices should come back down to Earth.

this is an additional post to one i placed b-4
i had a hard time finding 360/12v64
there were none in this area & finally found one
on e-bay at a fair $. Approx $1200.00 plus
shipping. bad news was when i got it it was
unplayable. so off to mark arnquist it went
more shipping & major modifications. so i had
about $ 1600.00 into guitar b-4 i could use it
well worth it anyway, guitar now plays & sounds
" GREAT ". i use it as a regular player in my
band along with my tele
good luck on finding the guitar you are looking
for. ( play it 1st if possible ) after talking
to mark it seems the problems i had with mine
seem to plague most ric 12 strings

I saw a Beatlemania type group this weekend called "The Return". The George guy played a Rick just like GH, but it was sunburst. The sound was incredible when they did "You can Do That". This guitar was way nicer than my 360 CW 12.

From what I've seen, I much prefer the finish on the CW to anything I've seen from the V or C series so far.

Ralph,
Mark has a habit of making RIC 12's playable. For the amount of money a RIC 12 costs, it seems reasonable to be able to be able to play almost any song on it. Good luck with your guitar. You bought a beauty!

I found the website for The Return (Beatles Tribute Band). A lot of their website is still under construction, but there are a few interesting things there already. This link opens one of their press pix.
