....this lovely mapleglo 360 caught my eye on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3711162182&category=41439

I love the look of the black trim with the maple - but is the chrome bridge 'right'? Should it be black as well, or would just the missing cover have been black?

That's a stripped 360SPC Tuxedo, so sad.

After looking in my Rickenbacker Book, I understand this diagnosis - it's the dot inlays, and the less than handsome piece of wood used for the back, isn't it?

I guess so, all I know is that when you have 1 of 20 something you don't strip it. Here's what the bass version looks like http://www.rickbeat.com/modelslibrary/4003SPCtuxedo/tuxedofull.jpg

There's another thread on this. I can't justify buying it and spending a chunk of change on a good refin; the total investment would exceed its value, even as rare as they are.
