NGD - Mapleglo 360!!
Posted: Wed Jun 30, 2010 10:46 pm
Today my (sort of) NOS (it was made in March 2009) mapleglo 360 I bought to replace the jetglo 360 I so foolishly sold last year, arrived! Here are some photos I took of it:
My 360 supposedly has minor finish blems. I examined it closely, when it arrived. The only possible blems I could find, are in this photo, and frankly they are so minor IMO, as to not even be worth considering as such
Just a pic of yours truly posing with her new guitar (I'm not very photogenic, so it took me umpteen attempts to get a photo I could live with).
I got home late from work, and a hair appointment. After spending time taking photos, a string change to 11s is definitely NOT in the works tonight. But I will give Blondie a whirl with the stock compressed 10s before I call it a night. One thing I did do - I took the bridge shield off (I did the same thing with Baby, my first 360). Since I pick from the wrist, and rest my palm on the bridge, the bridge shield isn't very conducive to palm muting, or my playing style, since I play a lot of lead guitar. I didn't like the bridge shield the first time I tried out a Ric for the first time in 1990 (a 480), and I don't like it now.
I'm gonna go have some fun!! The playability feels like a million bucks!! Hmmmm, maybe I should play something in Dropped D tuning, at high gain!!
'Later,
Ellen
