That is one beautiful 360FG , Bluemuffin.
How do you find the sound compared to your Tele? Do you use much overdrive with the Ric for gigs?
From your 'wallpaper' ,seems like you are not local. Are you from Japan?

I've driven a Ferrari replica, that was shit, but not a real Ferrari! That allows me to come to the conclusion that a real Ferrari is really a shitty car! And at almost a million a piece, they must not be worth the money!
Because replicas are can be used judged the real thing, right?

Oh my! Nice 360, Ric guitars aren't just well-exposed to us here in Singapore as compared to countries in the States, can't blame the majority here to being under-exposed. To me, Rics are so unique in their own ways, that they can't be compared to Fenders on the same scale!

Well Ric bro...
you can start a thread on Ric Guitars......Im sure people would love to know more about them (I would)...
for me it comes to a point where I want to diverse my appreciation on guitars not only to Gibson and Fender....but other makers too.
I've visited the website and theres so much to know about RIC guitars...haha don't know where to start.
cheers...

Don't think Rics are outdated as people today still use them. REM, Radiohead, U2... But expensive yeah. I actually went back to this dealer in Perth, where I originally bought my Rickenbacker and he said that Ric has closed its Asia Pac dealership. Dunno how true that is, but that means in this part of the world (outside Japan) you can't get any "new" Rics any more. Except those in current stock. Oh well. Sad.
I personally love the sound they have. I've used Rics to sub for the Telecaster though, as both provide a bright sound, altho the Ric is so, so much warmer. Used it on covers like Sunday Bloody Sunday or Vertigo. Great sound. And it's not just about jangle either, just ask Sean Lam (of Concave Scream) or Jean (of Giants Must Fall - if you want a sweet looking Ric, she's got a 360 in MONTEZUMA BROWN! Now that's drool-worthy!)

You are right Chris, Australia has no Ric dealer currently. See link below

Just look at the backlogged orders....all the way since 2007! Its really difficult for us to find Rics unless we get them from the US or Japan directly. Or perhaps,....ebay
Jean's 360Montezuma is indeed awesome.
......and she's quite a looker herself too

This one Bro?
Rickenbacker 4003 AFG (Amber Fireglo) - discontinued colour
Or this,
Rickenbacker 4003 FLFG (Fretless Fireglo)
Fretless is not easy unless........you're used to violins or cellos
But the muted sound is unbelievable !
