Finally - got myself a 360/12 c63

Post by gibsonlp »

Hello guys.
It has been a bit over 5 years since my first message - viewtopic.php?f=9&t=148008
Yesterday we landed back in Israel and I brought back with me a 2005 360/12 c63 that I purchased from our forumite Craig (wittyair).
It looks fantastic, I didn't plug it in yet so I can't comment about the sound (Kareene is still sleeping).
Circles are closing, this is nice :)
So long and thanks for all the fish!

Congratulations Gil! Craig is great a great guy to deal with and the 360/12C63 is a fantastic model. Enjoy the guitar.

It was fun meeting you and Kareene a few days ago at "Gilfest" and I am glad to hear you made it back home safely.

Congrats, Gil! I'm sure once you start playing it, you won't want to put it down! :D

Congratulations Gil! How about a photo or two?
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Thanks guys.
I finally got to play it.
It sounds fantastic!
The neck feels a bit wider than my 366/12 but it is still comfortable.
I did find something a bit weird - it seems that the rotation of the volume and tone pots is reversed, iirc the volume was all the way clock-wise and maximum treble tone was all the way counter-clock-wise (looking at the front of the guitar). Is that normal??

Peter: Pics for the c63, the 5002/V58 and the 365 (which still has the original ebay pics) will come up hopefully this weekend.
So long and thanks for all the fish!

I should really take it (and the rest of the ricks) to my friend's studio, my apartment is a horrible photo location.
So long and thanks for all the fish!

If I am seeing thing correctly, who's into butterflies?
