325c64 Turquoise

Had to post just to show off my recent acquisition, a 325c64 in Turquoise. It has helped to fill the void of a couple of Rics I've let go of in the past, and is something I didn't think I'd ever own. I love Turquoise and Blue Boy Rics, and I love 325's. Still tweaking the setup and have a set of Pyramid flats on the way, but she's a little joy that I hope to hang on to for a looooooong time.

Edit: after looking at the registry, it's listed there as a V63, but the only Turquoise one there.

That thing is incredible.

Why do you say it's a c64 and not a v63? It was manufactured in 1998, right?

yeah - phillips head screws in the corners of the pickups, and a 1998 date would definitely be V63.

Very nice. Matches my Turquoise 330.

That’s the only turquoise 325 I’ve ever seen. Beautiful!

Many years ago a dealer had some 325v59s made in Turquoise (I don't remember the total number). There are two of those in the Register, and I'm pretty sure I bid on one of those when it was on eBay (again, many years ago).

I had been stalking Reverb and it popped up for sale. I made an offer (that I'm still paying off) and the seller bit. Couldn't pass it up. It was a very narrow intersection of Rics that I'd let go of in the past. I hope to own and play it forever. Only changes I've made are a cleaning and setup with Pyramid flatwound 11s and a Winfield shallow spring. I could have avoided the spring change with heavier strings, but I prefer the feel of the 11s, and needed a little more downward angle off the back of the bridge on most strings. The shallower spring got me where I needed to be. Oh, and a Mastery Bridge, because I absolutely love their bridges and trems for my Jags/JM (my other love) and had to give it a try. It's now my favorite guitar.

Because I was ill-informed and posted in excitement, and I don't think you can modify a post title after it's up (or at least I don't know how). Whatever model it is, I love it
