Does anyone know where I can get a poster of a 360 Fireglow? I would like to get it up on my office wall before school starts.
Thanks, Paul

Bob, thanks for finding that poster. I ran out of time looking for a poster so I bought a guitar wall hanger from from my local guitar store and hung my 360 on it. It actually looks pretty good up there, the only down side is that I don't get to play it at home as much. It looks like that this is the perfect excuse to get another Ric.

Jeepers Paul,
I would be concerned for the safety of my baby. Why don't you just take a good digital shot (against a great backdrop) and have it blown up to poster size at your local camera shop. If you don't have the ability to take a good shot take your guitar into Walmart. For a few dollars they will do it for you.
BTW and maybe this is just me, but I never hang my Rics by the neck. Makes me nervous just thinking about it.

Dass da troof he speaks.
They are gorgeous, but if you're concerned for their safety, let them stay in their Guitar Motels when you're not playing them.
Dust (believe it or not) attracts caustic atmospheric components, unless you live several hundred miles from the city or nearest freeway. Wiping them down with cloths used dry will soon scratch the finish.
Exercise 'em frequently. Always wipe the strings down; try not to ride 'em hard and put 'em away wet.
Talking to them seems to help sometimes, too.

I just got my 360/12 Monday morning, named her Elizabeth talked to her for hours yesterday, introduced her to the rest of the boys and girls in the collection. I think she is already starting to feel at home.

It doesn't take long, Jeff. If I pull mine out of their cases and put them on stands (just for a little fresh air or a photo session, you understand), they just sit there and smile at each other.
Elizabeth......... interesting.

I've never understood the naming of instruments, except "the red one", "the yellow one", etc. But...to each his own.

I do that too, Ronn, #1 is one, the white one is another and the 12 is another.
