I need some help here. I am contemplating Buying a Rick 360 VP VB in FireGlo. Year 1993, mint like condition for 975.00 With OHSC Vintage style.
Can anyone tell me a bit about this Rick It has Toaster pickups and the R tailpiece.

What does the VB stand for ? I have a 360/12VP in fireglo. It is particularly beautiful and the tone is great with the toasters. I would buy it if I were you, that would be a great first Ric. It never ceases to impress me how these guitars hold, and even appreciate in their value. A jetglo 360 is also a very cool guitar, I would love to have one of those with toasters.

Can't have a vibrato on it if, as he describes, it has an R tailpiece.

VB could be Vintage Binding? By the way these letters (VP VB ) come from the tags that came with the Rick. Vintage Pickups, Vintage Binding?
This is an early model 360 Vintage Reissue from what I have read. Just waiting for the seller to email me and close the deal. This is my 4th Rick so far..

Hmmm,interesting, but that would be WB for binding. Other than the R tail, it almost sounds like a V '64. The V has toasters, binding but with a trapeze tailpiece. If it is a V 64....it's an unbelievable price.

I thought vibrato because the store where I bought my Ric has a 330 VP VB which has toasters and a vibrato:

Could the tailpiece have been change by the owner?

That is what I was looking for. It could have been changed out but the person says they are the original owner and have paperwork. Unless it was changed out at the factory as a special request maybe?
