36012c63 - waiting so long...

saab95 · Post by **saab95** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 10:25 am

Hello, I ordered a 360\12c63 from Music123 on May 2004. At the moment they told me I should expect getting the guitar by February 2006, but it sounds quite optimistic to me. I'm also very tempted to give up with the c63 and get a used V64, maybe from ebay, as I'm not sure how long will I have to wait for the c63.
What do you say? How much more will I have to wait? (Is it the million dollar question?)
Should I give up and go for a v64 instead?
Thanks.

Welcome, Ariel.

Tough call on that one. I have a V'64 and I'm quite pleased with it but I hear (and the few photos I've seen of the C) the '63 may be worth your wait. I don't know, however, how much real 'difference' there is in the two. Possibly someone who owns a C can fill you in.

Howdy Ariel,

I placed an order for the 325c64 back in May. Due date?? Music123 claims April of 2006. I have no problem with waiting, and I hear it's well worth the wait! I would just grab a pallet of snacks and a video store worth the movies and hunker down! I have not a problem in the world with Ebay but wouldn't you rather be the first owner of the guitar. . .the one and only owner?!?!

I waited 2 years for the C64/C64S. Waited 3 years for the C58's. Simply, they were worth the wait. I'm assuming the 360C63/12 and the 325C64 are worth the wait as well.

Just think Ariel, how absolutely fantastic that day in early 2006 will be...

Ariel, have you figured out what your going to do yet?

Thanks for encouraging me guys, you're great!
I guess I'll wait patiently till it arrives, it's sure worth it!

Hooray!!!!
I actually had a dream last night I bought a c58 off Ebay used. Immediately I noticed when I played it all I could hear was the voice of it's previous owner. And it wasn't John's voice either!! I took it as a definite omen. . .. spooky too!

Just a hint: DON'T watch A HARD DAY'S NIGHT or you will want one NOW and not be willing to wait for the "C" instrument. It is taking all my will power not to jump on a 325v63 and to wait for the 325c64! However, as been previously mentioned, the vintage series guitars are nice too.

Whenever, all I know I got one with my name on it..a 360-12c63 is coming just for me. Opps I rambling again, oh oh Now I'm starting to vibrate, Just had a 8 on the RIC- ter scale

Hey Brian, just curious -- about when did you order yours? I also ordered mine thru NCM, around March 7. They told me 10-12 months, with 2-3 coming per month. I'm also hoping for XMAS, and I hate to bug them with "Where am I on the list"...
