I was on the www.wildwoodguitars.com page, and saw this as a "just in" Ricky! They also have a sweet Jetglo 360/12v64.

Nice. Full routes on the headstock. The very first production RIC done up this way was also a Montezuma Brown 330/12.

thanks for the welcome. i got the guitar from Wildwood and am amazed. i have always appreciated these gutiars, and, wanted one. now that i have one im very happy. this color is amazing and it came set up perfectly. i have not noticed any intonation problems with the factory strings and 6- string bridge, nor have i noticed any difficulty playing chords in the open position. i do have small fingers however. i love this guitar. i play it in stereo through a fender deluxe reverb and a vintage Kustom 50 (which ususally sounds terrible with other guitars) and about 15 pedals. sounds awsome, even through a rat distortion pedal. i also have a 1990 PRS, an american Strat and a Santa Cruz 12-fret acoustic with a sunrise pick-up. This Rick is what ill be playing most over the next year i suspect, as it is more inspiring than any instrument i have ever played and certainly capable of more than just a Byrds-sound.. i got the toaster pick-ups but as of now see no reason to re-wire them whatsoever. they sound awsome to me and i have no desire to make it sound more like george harrison's guitar. these pickups are more responsive than any guitar i have owned. they seem to be alive. they have an awsome bite and crackle with energy. as for Wildwood guitars...i would recommend them. i ordered the guitar without playing it. it came in 3 days, in perfect mint condition..except for a tiny little dimple between the two pickups that was described to me by the store..and discounted $50. i could hardly find the imperfection and could care less as i will no doubt have this guitar filled with scratches and dents in a matter of days from playing it constantly.

Congrats, and welcome, Scott!

My very first Ric was a 330 six-string, too....wonderful guitar. You will love playing your Ric so much that if you're like some of us you will soon find that one is not enough, LOL!
