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.

Re: 325c64 Turquoise
That is gorgeous! Congrats on the new acquisition!
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...
Re: 325c64 Turquoise
Oh wow, it's a C64 and not a V63??? Even more awesome. Dude I'm so happy you got this one. Congratulations. Make some video of it!!!
Re: 325c64 Turquoise
That's a beautiful guitar! Congratulations! I'm a turquoise fan myself.

Re: 325c64 Turquoise
Why do you say it's a c64 and not a v63? It was manufactured in 1998, right?
Re: 325c64 Turquoise
yeah - phillips head screws in the corners of the pickups, and a 1998 date would definitely be V63.
Re: 325c64 Turquoise
Very nice. Matches my Turquoise 330.
Re: 325c64 Turquoise
That’s the only turquoise 325 I’ve ever seen. Beautiful!

Re: 325c64 Turquoise
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).

Re: 325c64 Turquoise
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.

Re: 325c64 Turquoise
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 itsloop_john_b wrote: ↑Mon Feb 28, 2022 10:21 pm Why do you say it's a c64 and not a v63? It was manufactured in 1998, right?
