I have a trade offer for my Townshend... (I know, another one )
a beautiful Maple Glo Ric 360 w/ hi gain pups in great condition... I believe it is an '89... straight up trade.
I played the Ric this weekend... it was really fast for rhythm playing. It had a most outstanding tone, especially with open chords... they rang out and had a good amount of authority with some overdrive in the mix.
How would you all compare these two guitars? pluses/minuses... any other thoughts would be appreciated.
The Ric seesm like the ideal rhythm guitar, but not as strong for lead work as the SG... While the SG is a great rhythm and lead instrument.

nuff said.
the only other thing is the neck on the ricks. love em or hate em.
or is the versatility of the SG a better fit?
There's no wrong or right...
While, early who work is a great example of the Ric...
although I played the Ric through an Orange AD30... it got pretty nasty when it needed to... that was a pleasant suprise.
5 electric guitars. that will solve your problems.
I thought the Ric wouldn't be very versatile either, but I plugged it in and it did well in a variety of gain and style settings... I think the fact that it is a six string makes it a little less "ricky" than yours.
those pickups drive pretty hard which is great. it's just a brighter sound than the SG and maybe even more than the tele.
i imagine the SG is nice and dark.
It's a cool sound but not worthy in my opinion of being 1 of your 2.
.... I don't think I could do it.
c-
No the other way around.
I have a Townshend Sig SG... the one with P-90s, and some other "features"
I could trade for a Rick 360...
Tom Petty does know how to rock... but he plays a tele and an SG alot too.
I think he uses a Marshall of some kind... his last tour he did at least.
I am unsure if the tone would be too close to my Tele.
Like exhausted mentioned... the SG is nice and dark... it is a good contrast to the tele.
i honestly think i'd dump the tele since tele's only have 1 or 2 sounds it seems. but that's not an option here.
Woah... Tele's have a lot more than one or two sounds...
They do the twang thing, sure... but they do beautiful cleans, good rock rhythm, and can get very nasty when pushed.
I think a tele is very versatile.
I have never played a Strat bridge pup I like that well.
I think any guitar is pretty versatile when you get down to it... I think some are more versatile than others...
I think Pacomc makes my same conclusion... shopping is fun... but the SG/Tele cover my bases very well... they are a great duo for gigging.
the ric 360 seems like it has support, but not a strong approval v. the SG... makes sense
I will have to convince my other friend to buy the Ric so I can at least play it some more...
seems like a good solution.
I really think it is just about a draw between the two... which generally means, I keep what I have.
However, I might have to give the Ric another try if it is still in my mind or available in a couple of weeks...
