As far as I can get them. They are cranked down. Measuring from the metal surround it's about 5mm from the treble string on each pickup. Would probably dig it if I could get some more clearance but then I'd have to route it out.

Ahhhh ok, thanks!. I think I have them too close to the strings on the 620. I can't them them much lower, there's a layer of foam and the screws feel like they're as tight as they're going to get.

Also, is there anyone here (a Rick fan) who lives in Nashville? There's a '73 360 in Burgundy at Guitar Center that's been haunting me. It looks like it needs its bridge moved back (Geoff/Cestlamort pointed that out to me) but who knows what else it might need.

Is the bridge backwards on it? I love the color and heck the price isn't horrible...

Thanks a lot... I HAD to buy the vinyl edition to get the large booklet.

Pretty good compilation, though they left out some ringers, like The Connells, Arms Akimbo (their song “The Voice” is a classic), The Reivers, Miracle Legion, Love Tractor, Guadalcanal Diary, The Individuals, etc.

What band is on the cover?

The band on the cover is... wait for it... One Plus Two.

So what do you guys think of the 330/360 models going back to 21 fret?? They look cool and i wonder how the neck pickup sounds now? Has anyone tried them yet?

I’m psyched. It’s kinda my dream Ric spec. I have one on the way (a jetglo 360) but UPS is telling me that “Due to operating conditions, your package may be delayed.” Stay tuned.

I played a 2023 360/12 at guitar center tonight and here are some thoughts:
1) it was a well-made instrument
2) it featured the new neck profile (a shallowiish C) which still seems narrow at the nut but was plenty playable. I’ll need to find another with the older style neck and compare.
3) the new necks also have 21 frets (as opposed to 24). This put the neck pickup further away from the bridge pickup and the difference in sound between the two seemed very pronounced. The sound was pretty gorgeous, especially in the bridge and middle positions.
4) the finish (Fireglo in this case) was quite beautiful and definitely got me thinking that this is the color I’d go with were I to buy one.

On 3, why would the reduced number of frets move the neck pickup farther from the bridge? Isnt the scale length still the same?
