I'm sure there are a few guys out there that own/have owned both of these models.

I know comparisons are tough but I am interested in how these semi-hollow 12 strings compare to each other in sound and feel. Especially when the 360 (or even closer, 370) is equipped with toasters.

No answers, huh?

I guess you guys are going to make me go out and buy both the 360/12 and 350v63/12 and see for myself!

Might as well go for a 660/12 too, while I'm at it! ;-)

Maybe no one has owned both. Either one of those will likely need a new nut job to get a good string spacing, in my experience. I have a 360/12VP which is really sweet, after I put the new nut on. Watch out for those 12-saddle bridges, they can make some very annoying overtones.

Steve, you're probably right. :-)

I guess it's one of the tough things when you get the Ric 12-string bug; which one? Since there is a Ric 12 for almost every model, it makes the decision so difficult, especially when you're considering buying your first one.

I assume there are also far less 350V63/12's out there than 360 or 330 12's.
