That's a cool picture Dave. What kind of stuff do you play?

Good point on the white binding under low lights being easier to see. I have noted that, too.

"...white binding under low lights being easier to see."

I guess we can add that to the list as to why some choose a 360 over a 330.

Robert - My band plays pretty straight ahead power pop. We're fans of bands like Teenage Fanclub, The Beach Boys, Weezer, Fountains of Wayne. We've sold a couple songs to the Canadian kids show Degrassi - The Next Generation. There are some Mp3's up on our website www.juniorachiever.com (please excuse the fidelity!)

R.C. - I still wouldn't trade in my 330 to get my 360 back!

Steve - Here is a better picture of my 330 with her new boyfriend.330hiwatt

Dave, what is it about the 330 that you prefer over the 360 ?

Dave, the sound clips of JA are really terrific. Great stuff. Let us know when the CD's available.

Steve Lasko - Thanks for the kind words.

Steve Carsello - Well I suppose my fondness for the 330 starts cosmetically. I like the look of both the 330 and 360, but I prefer the 330, I think it looks more balanced because the horns are relatively the same size. It was also the model favoured by Pete Townsend & Paul Weller. (ok, ok I know that Pete played the export model!)

I don't know why my 330 would "feel" any different than my 360. They were set up the same way, but it does feel different to me. The neck feels faster, it just plays better as compared to the 360 that I had. It also seems to sit better when I'm playing, maybe it's because I wear my guitar so low, but my 360 never seemed to sit right.

Having said all that, if I could afford it I would have kept them both!

SECOND GIG WITH 330

Well thanks to a white side fill and less red lights, I could actually see my fret board Saturday night. Unfortunately not many other people came to see it!
