Whats the best looking Ricky?

Post by Pearlwhite67 »

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.....so what do you think is the best looking Ricky ?

This baby gets my vote. the ex john squire / stone roses owned one of these was on uk ebay a few weeks ago.

Double Bound and FireGlo:

360 V64, 360 WB, 381 V69, and 360/12C63.

The quintessential Ricks to me. All amazing.

Wow, Sean, the binding and contour on that guitar is beautiful! Not to mention the lovely shade of Fireglo (my favorite Rick color). Here it is: the best looking Rick I've ever seen, and you posted it! 8) Can you refresh my memory as to the model number? (V69 perhaps?) :oops:

Very nice Ash you just don't see a 4002 that often in the UK especially one in fab condition like that one.
