Re: Rick Strings

Looks like this is the way to go but they're $14 a pack plus shipping from the UK.

Re: Rick Strings

Thanks Guys,
I don't mind bumping up to a 46 as all of my other guitars have these but I'm concerned they are no longer the same strings because the new package doesn't say Compressed.
Does anyone know if they are?
I also noticed Rick strings are no longer $4.50 a pack, lol.
Thx

Rick Strings

When I was a youngster gigging back in the 90's, I was using Rick Compressed Roundwounds 10-42. Are these no longer available? I see they are now 10-46 and Compressed is not on the label. I just tried a set of GHS Burnished Nickel Rockers thinking they might be the same but boy, was I wrong! Is ther...

Re: Accent: To drill or not to drill?

I'll see what I can do. I only have a crummy phone camera though.

Re: Accent: To drill or not to drill?

I agree Erik. jd; I have over 30 guitars and at least 2 dozen of them would be on the chopping block before this Rick. The $60 is a lot on top of what I already paid for the Accent, not because I have to pay the mortgage or buy the kids shoes. I did drill the tailpiece last night and everything is a...

Re: Accent: To drill or not to drill?

Thanks Guys. I'm not going to drill the guitar but probably will the plate. $60 is a lot for me right now as I'm finally getting my collection in shape and buying miscellaneous parts for several other guitars. Plus I just bought a Custom Shop Gibson. The price of an Accent is a bit absurd in my opin...

Accent: To drill or not to drill?

Hi, I recently acquired an Accent for my '88 330. As you know, it will sit high due to the end pin placement and shallow thickness. I spent enough on the Accent and do not want to spend anymore on the aftermarket conversion plate. I need some thoughts on drilling a hole above the current hole on the...

Re: Bigsby for a 330

Hi Guys, Newbie here to the forum but not to Ricks. I've owned 6 over my span but down to 2 now. Knaval, I really like the B-16 mod you did, you should consider making a few more, I think you could sell them here. I know I would buy one. As for the B-3, I think that looks the best. I'm wondering if ...
