360/6 & 360/12 in walnut

[andyenobs]

Hi all
I bought the 360/6 in 2020 new from a dealer in Italy at a really good price but although brand new it was made in 2015. Lovely colouring and plays well. So I decided I fancied a 12 string and I really like the 360 shape as it is super comfortable so I went with the walnut again. I love the sound of the 6 string but I am in the middle of re-doing the set up on the 12 so yet to form an opinion but I am not expecting to be disappointed. So what do you guys think of the walnut guitars ?

So no-one on here has an opinion about the natural walnut guitars ? Well they have excellent tone and the big plus is they are not easy to dink or scratch and unlike the painted models if you do it doesn't show up as obviously.

I intend to grab a 330/12W when a secondhand model crosses my path (since they're apparently OOP), but I have yet to plug one in.

I hate to show my ignorance but what does OOP mean ?
I have oiled my guitar bodies as per the manual with Tung oil and they look so much better after. Just follow the instructions, and remove bridge , R tailpiece etc and then two coats of oil. It takes 6 to 8 hours to properly soak in and then buff it with a soft linen cloth the following day. They look brilliant and silky smooth.

I've got it. Out Of Production.

I grabbed a '98 650C late last year, which is a great player. It's definately in need of a clean, oli, and polish. Your post remnds me I need to put this on my list of things to do. That and new strings.

Some of the Walnut guitars & basses look absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations on your purchase, and enjoy it.

Cheers,

Correct. A holdover from book and record collecting, where it meant Out Of Print. Same thing.

OOP could also possible stand for Off Our Planet.
