Marc, I noticed in your profile that you're in Washington DC. You can try Chuck Levin's, but they don't have many Ricks in stock, or you can head over to Classic Axe in Manassas, VA. Give Russ (the owner) a call at 703-330-7966 and he can tell you what he has in stock at the present time. I know for a fact that he has a few 360's and at least 3 381's in stock, but I'm pretty sure that all the 381's are 12 strings, though. Good luck with your search. | ||

You have a six string Marc. Time for a 12 Rickenbacker string. My recommendation would be a 21 fret model with toasters. | ||

I'd go along with Paul about the 381 being more versatile. the extra wood gives it more sustain and a fuller sound. I tend to use mine for more rocky-lead-solo stuff and the 360 (V64 and therefore same shape as 330) for well...the rest. Seeing as the 24/21 fret thing has been raised......I'm hoping to get a 360-12 in a couple of months but I just can't tear myself away from 21 frets. The set up just seems to sit better than the 24. To me it feels like there's a strange gap on the body where the pick up was supposed to be. Is it easy to find 360s with 21 frets? | ||

360/12's w/ 21 frets are not hard to find. They just cost more. | ||

I was thinking one from the '60's - you should be able to get a nice one in the $1500-$2500 range. Check gbase... | ||
