First time I ever saw a Fireglow with black trim.

That's one hot-looking 620. Are those toaster pickups on it??

Can't tell from the picture, but the description says they are.

Looks great!

I think Johnny Marr's 360/12 is Fireglo with black trim.

Lordy me..... very nice!!

Noel - where have you seen JM with a 360?

I think JM plays a 360/12 of some sort in the video for Talking Heads' "Nothing But Flowers"... I'm trying to find a picture on the Internet right now... Could it be that something isn't *somewhere* on the Internet?

And that's original too. The binding is also black. That's a lovely instrument.

Rob/Ethan, I found an AMAZING article here:

Wonderful Marr article with no shortage of Ric references. Sadly, he only refers to a 'twelve string' in the 'Nothing But Flowers' section. Still, a great read.

Here's David Byrne with a cool guitar:

One of us will find a still from the NBF clip.

More clues:

''These days Marr's Rickenbackers rarely see the light of day, but for the record he has two: a black '82 330 6-string (seen in the video for This Charming Man) and a mid-60s sunburst 360-12, his main Smiths recording Rickie, bought off Pete Townshend.''
