Rick's are friggen cool and this one is no exception. Probably heresy around here but my vintage 360 is my favorite guitar by a tiny tiny margin.

Love the colour too, though I prefer 330 to 360 myself. :P

Ian Adams (from the submarine races, used to be in the ponys) plays a ric and a jazzmaster. It is a formidable combination. and 2/3s of my dream guitars. (the third being a G&L f100)

I loved how my Ric 360 sounded but god was that fretboard awful.

(note the use of the past tense when writing above. Yes it was sold).

I had a 360 a while back, but I just couldn't make it work for me. It sound really good though. I didn't have any trouble getting used to the finished fretboard or the neck size/ shape. The gold finish does look really, really great on it!

I love Ricks...I am so jealous, but I can't get used to the fretboards, either...

that's funny, the fretboards are kinda odd but it never bothered me at all - no more than when I'm playing a maple-board fender, for example.
