Mitch, you're right about the VB, but on the guitar Larry was mentioning he couldn't have a vibrato with a R tail...330s with an Accent and toasters are options. It essentially makes the guitar a 335 with the Accent added. | ||

Interesting.I know that the guitar at Willies was a special order that took him over a year to get.Well unless anyone can prove that VB stands for something else I'd say the tail piece was either changed at the factory or by the owner.Have you asked the owner about this Larry? | ||

I am in the process of getting some answers before I make a decision, It is a 1993 model 360 with vintage case, black tolex and toasters. Strange combo but I think these were the first Vintage reissues before RIC changed the tailpiece on them. | ||

Larry, a vintage case is silver tolex. And the rest I am kind of confused over. It has toasters, right? It has a R tailpiece, right? Does it have binding? Can you get the serial #? Have you seen a pic of it? Not trying to discourage you from this purchase but if I were buying it I would want to see what I am getting, at the least. | ||

Larry, it's a 360/6 (hard to tell for sure by the photos) with vintage p/u with a standard case (going by the one in the pic) and that is about it. Should add, hope this helps some with your decision. Best of Luck with it | ||

Hey thanks Stan, that is what I suspected. Probably why the pics are so bad, I think I will pass on this one - thinking more on a 325 instead which will go nice with my 350v63. Thanks again for your input! | ||

Hey, no prob. A 325 is a fine Ric. IMO they're all fine guitars. I'm sure you will find what you're looking for and glad to have helped. | ||

Mich, I can prove that VB stands for something else:  Commonly called 'Vee Bee', 'Vic Bitter' or just plain 'Vic'. Hmmm...... 'Vic' rhymes with 'Ric' - perhaps a 'Ric' bitter during the breaks, guys??? Cheers (hic!!) | ||
