Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I'm fairly new here, and check in about once a week. Is there more than one FB group?

What a gorgeous and unique guitar! I thought it was some sort of short-scale bass or Bass VI at first glance.

I got my 360/12 back from the shop late yesterday. I think it looks and plays great. My only gripe is that I had specified a black nut to keep with the stock (bakelite?) nut. The owner had suggested graphite, but when I got it back I noticed that they had used bone. I usually prefer bone for acousti...

George's AHDN guitar is the holy grail for me, so it has to be the 360/12v64 or the c63. Just such a beautiful instrument. I sometimes do a Google image search and just look at all the wonderful photos. I lean towards the latter for being more faithful to the original, but I like the former since th...

Hi Rich - I'm glad you made it home safely. I got there a little after 5, and I heard that I missed you by about a half hour. I even left the Giants game early, but I underestimated how long it would take to get from SF to SJ. I was able to meet Doug and Rich as they were packing up their gear. I'm ...

The shop advised that my 360/12 won't be ready until Tuesday so I'll be showing up empty-handed, unfortunately. I still plan to head down after the Giants game, so I'll see everyone later in the afternoon.

Hi Richard - I wasn't assuming anything of course, so what I meant is that I've never even seen two lefty Ricks in the same room before! :D I do appreciate this, though. As long as I have my 360/12 back from the shop before the event, you're certainly welcome to play it as well. That may influence y...

You can add this Texan to the list of attendees for BARC 2016. Airline ticket has been issued and the hotel and rental car reservations have been made. Now the big questions is which lefty Ric should I bring. I'm leaning towards the 730S. If another lefty will be there, then I think I HAVE to go no...

Ha, good point! That's about 10 to... zero. :lol: Truth is, I may not even have my 360/12 back from the work being done on it by then (see my post in the guitar forum). They did send me a photo today of the fretboard refinish in progress, so at least I know we're getting there. I also don't expect t...

Blergh. As a new Rick owner, I was hoping to attend the next Bay Area Confluence and meet some of you nice folks but that's the day I'll be attending my last Giants game of the season. I can't wait to see photos and I hope to attend my first confluence next year. Have a great time, everyone!

Thanks for the replies. I should clarify that not all of the $1700 is to fix the problem with the neck. The estimate for the original work I had brought the guitar in for was about $700. That was the pickup replacement, tailpiece replacement, 12-saddle bridge installation, replacement of volume pots...

Long post, sorry. I heard rumors that a shop in Hollywood had a lefty 360/12 FG and I happened to be going down there to see The Cure at the Hollywood Bowl in May, so I ended up coming home with a new RIC! I soon picked up a set of scatterwound toaster pickups, vintage cap, and push/pull pot from Po...

I'll just say she was a very lovely lady holding a very beautiful guitar!

I had to do a double-take last night when I saw a Rick in a Maybelline commercial last night. The product is called "Rock Nudes," and appears to be some type of eye shadow. The lady in the commercial is holding a current model 360/12 FG. In the wide shot, the TRC has been removed, though. ...

Thanks for the replies. I'll give them a call.
