Funny how the flash on the camera makes this look a bit ClownGlo!

Looks great, Rob, but can you lose a few frets?

Yes! That's the next step.

I've got a hacksaw and some wood glue, I'll cut 3 frets out of the middle of the neck and glue it back together.

Looks really good Rob.I love it.

Nice FG. The gold looks great with it.

Wow, simply gorgeous!

Now can you throw on a trapeze?

...gold plate the trapeze, swap out the hi-gains for toasters, gold plate the toaster covers, gold plate the machine tuners, add ebony buttons on them....anything else?

Seriously, nice looking guitar, Bob.

Rob is gold the new black?

I'm extremely pleased with how this guitar has turned out, especially the gold TRC. For an 11 year old guitar it looks brand new, and I use it for gigging all the time.
But I certainly wont be doing any more to this 330. The sound and tone of this guitar is so wonderful I'm definitely not tempted to get toasters on it. I also actually prefer the look of the R tailpiece to the trapeze one too, so that's staying put.
I would love to get a couple of toasters on my all black 360/12 though. Unfortunately because of the prices that these are going for at the moment, I don't see that being anytime soon.
Hopefully the Ric boutique will have more available at some point, and I can get in and get some before they get snapped up by people who sell them on for 4 times the price.
It would actually be great if Ric offered some kind of service where you could register to buy these things when they are not in stock. (oh no, another 3 year waiting list! )
But seriously though Mr Hall, any chance?

Nope.

It was definitely Scotty, in the Kitchen, with the Blueburst.

Nice blueburst there. It needs some gold!

NIce one, Rob! I reckon vintage knobs are a nice touch on the 330.
