This 1990 Model 360 White headstock has been included here to demonstrate the extent to which a white finish can change its colour over 10 years. I thought of having the paint removed and turn it into a mapleglo, but then, there might be some non-goodlooking wood below so I guess I'll leave it at that. After a couple of years the white turned to a sort of light cream shade which was very pretty. Now, it's well past vanilla and closer to whatever it is - and it's not so cute anymore.. One of a kind I guess. I have to say it's the only guitar I've always kept out of it's case (never under direct sunlight though). It has been on a floor stand or hanging on a wall, the only one I have to keep at a close distance when I feel some heavy riff ringing in my head. But then, so was my 620 for the past, mmm, eight years : It's mapleglo finish darkened allright but very, very slightly. Anyway, I think it looks better now than when it was absolute white - it didn't do justice to the 360 shape...the most beautiful guitar ever!
