I have been lucky enough to play & own literaly dozens of Rickenbacker gtrs & basses, but today I collected from Mike Smith, probably the very best looking Ric that I have ever seen. A 1984 360WB-6FG, complete with Grovers, X bracing & an extra thick top. One of the most beautiful & strangest FG's I have ever seen, this was love at first sight. It came with toasters & I assume that these are original to the gtr. I have yet to give it a good thrash through the Marshall, but I have very high hopes for this gtr. The flash pics don't do it justice in any way & I will post some more when I have better.
I also collected a 370-6BG...another total stunner. Yet again, Mike has come up with a couple of gems & I can't thank him enough.
BTW, I'm decorating!!!

You are planning to bring that beauty to the confluence, right, Tony?
Will that provide some inspiration for your color scheme?

Crikey!! What a stunner, Tony! The FG market in the "old country" must be just about shot to bits by now! Congratulations, m'lud!

Don't like it - well I have to be different
.........Joking aside, it looks a peach! Will it be going to the confluence Tony?

Glad you all like it. I think it's really special & it will be at the confluence, strutting its stuff with the carnivores, along with my 370BG. I don't think I've ever been so chuffed with a couple of gtrs...I love them!
Here are a couple of Mikes pics....
BTW, I heard from Gary Glenn, the WB's previous owner today. Great to hear from you Gary & thanks for the wonderful guitar....good luck with the Gretsch rebuild!
