The one in the first video appears to be a 330 model with the more rounded body contours and has the hi-gain pickups.The colour scheme is called Fireglo.The one in the second video is also a 330 model but appears to be the older body style with the edges more squared and sharper.The colour is refered to as Mapleglo.

Crucially, both are 360/12 models which are 12 strings.

Wait, they are both 360/12's? I could have sworn it was a 330/12.



So is it a 330/12 or a 360/12?

Sorry my bad. 330 not 360.

It's alright! Thanks for the info

The 330 and 360 Ricks are all part of the Rick Capri family.The main and most obvious difference is that the more upscale 360 models have the triangular "slash" position fret markers.They also have more body and neck binding.Both the 360/12 and 325 V 63 are the next guitars on my long GAS list- because I'm a huge Beatle's Freak-which I'm saving for with my quit smoking fund. The fund is from money I would've spent on cigarettes but I'm having a hard time building it up because I've seen other gear that was too good a bargain too pass up like my Way Huge Green Rhino overdrive for only $60 and the wonderful Tech 21 RotoChoir Leslie simulator for $260 that sounds so much like the actual Leslie that it could easily pass a blindfold test.

Hopefully I won't see any more distractions like these and will be able to buy a Rick by the fall but then the big decision would be which Rick to get.

Re distractions : I recently saw a beautiful Squier '72 Tele Deluxe Reissue for just $230-almost too good to pass by also.
