Cheers

330 Fretboard Varnish "bubbling"?

Hi. I bought my 330 this past summer, my first Ric. It's a 2014. Had to bring it into the shop last month to get the nut lowered, and at that time the tech also pointed out that the varnish was partly lifting off around some of the frets.

Re: New member - First Ric

Thanks all!

I have allen keys that work with the truss rods for my Tele and Gretsch, but will I need one of these? http://www.pickofthericks.com/gp140-1-4-truss-rod-tool-and-97002-nutdrive...

New member - First Ric

Hi all. Just wanted to introduce myself. I just bought my first Ric last week - a beautiful ruby red 330/6 from 2014. Been trying to get up to speed on all the idiosyncrasies of Rics and set-up options, etc. Only problem I'm having is that while the action is pretty nice and low, when I capo it ther...
