I love the 330 shape but want the 360 features.
How hard is it to come across a 360 WB?
Does Rickenbacker do orders for such a guitar and how long would it take to fill the order?
If any one has a picture of a 360WB in the brown (I can't remember the propper name) could they post it if possable.
Thanks.

360 WB seems quite rare in my experiance - why not go for a 360 V64 Geoff?

Hey Geoff,
I searched for two years for a used 360/12 WB and finally found one on e-bay. The 360/V64 is probably your best option.
The most popular colour in a used 6 or a 12 is likely to be Fireglo. Mine is Jet Glo. I have never seen a WB in Montezuma Brown. I would love to see one though assuming one exists.
Good luck with your hunt.

Someone on this site was selling one in Azureglo. It was absolutley stunning!
Also, this piece has been on GBase for a long time. That price is ridiculous!

You do see them on ebay...there was a beautiful fireglo not long ago on UK ebay. The price is going up & up though. I don't think they were apreciated untill recently, but now they seem to be getting quite sought after. It's easy to see why IMO...modern sounds, but deluxe retro looks & now, a part of Ric history in their own right.

It IS a bit expensive John, but WOW it's beautiful. Like Judy Garland's ruby slippers!

If you don't mind me asking, what does WB stand for?

With binding? LOL, something like that.

It is 'with binding'. The early ones were referred to as OS 'old style'.

They're asking a lot for that Ruby one, I think. It is indeed dee-lish but that's way to much.

The Azureglo one was $2K if I recall correctly...
The Ruby one is very impressive...
