Hey, I'm about to press the button on getting a 360F, and curious what you can summarize for me about problem areas to ask the builders to fix? Does it have a truss rod? Anything in retrospect you would have done differently? Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike,

They’re shit. Stay away.

Thanks, MuscleDad420

have you read thru the thread? because there's a lot of information in it.

as for mine, it certainly has it's quirks...but i still play it all the time and it plays and sounds and looks pretty great. i was just talking with someone else i know...a gigging musician...and with a pickup/pot swap he says it's his number one guitar.

it's true...if you inspect it, it fails...so, if that is important to you, stay away. but if you just want a cool looking Ric-like guitar (and you can spare the money) go for it.

Not of a 360F model... at least I've never seen one on aliexpress.

i've got this going on...he's asked me not to talk too much about it yet...but i've been champing at the bit for awhile. so, no names, yet. but it's a quality build that is being done in ways similar to how they were done when R was making them.

Very cool! I'd be interested once it's completed to know specs, price, etc.

i will create a thread behind the veil ("backstage") and give the particulars.

btw, in this photo the pickguard is just a photocopied piece of paper! it looks great, tho!

waiting for this has been like waiting for spring in vermont...you know it's coming, but it moves like a freight train.

almost done!

Hey, that's gonna be a hell of a cool guitar when that's done!

That's awesome, I love a Ric project!

You can get the real deal chrome Ric knobs at Winfield Vintage. It would really finish it off. They're different from Tele knobs because they have a straight knurl and rounded edge.
