Since a lot of time i tried to see "live" a 360 /12 model
but never been able.Now i am looking to buy one used on ebay.my question to the expert is : is it possible to buy a guitar with eyes closed.

Hi Marc,

I am in Montreal as well. I get my Rics in the US because the dealers up here ask twice the price on average(including currency exchange) and will not buy any for stock. I looked at some recommended dealers in the US (recommended here and on the Rickenbacker Forum) and have not looked back yet.

I just don't buy from ebay due to the scams. There are quite a few. Depends how brave you are, I guess.

Several US dealers close to us are great to work with and I have had only pleasure with my 660/12 and 330/6, both bought sight unseen and never test played. They were perfectly set up when they arrived and were even in tune after a UPS ride up from the Eastern US.

I live in Atlantic Canada, and I understand what you mean.
I just bought a great 360/12 (JetGlo) from a chap in Ohio
a little while ago. All I had to go be was the pictures
on EBay and alot of trust. But man, oh man, it certainly paid off beautifully.
