Very nice!

Well that worked out pretty good! Left the strings slacked and the rods loosened for 2 days, had a humidifier going with the door shut (not 24/7, but for a good while). Today, bent the neck into place and gently tightened the rods down and tuned to pitch. The neck is still not dead flat, but it’s a ...

Today is the day I’m diving in. Wish me luck.

Fair assessment. For what it’s worth, I’m not totally familiar with the traditional control layout etc., I just picked one up, strummed a chord or two and said “that’s not bad,” and put it back. You could probably still get the tone of the “Night Of Fear” intro pretty close on a recent model. The Ri...

The b&w pic is Ace Kefford of The Move! Roy Wood also used a Fender XII, maybe the same instrument seen here.

Squier has reissued the XII and in my limited taste tests is better than any ‘60s example, but still pales compared to a properly set up Rick 12er.

Still nothing.

What’s this all about?

And, how does this apply with Ricks? Or, does it? I can’t imagine it would be applicable to pre-1984 rods, but what about after that?

I know at least a few of you lunatics have the cab mentioned above.

Here’s my question: I need a template for where one would drill fresh mounting holes for the stand for one of these.

If someone’s got a cab with no stand, that’d be perfect. Just need to know where the holes go.

It can happen! A few of us here have put out the word and retrieved our favorite Ricks from out in the wild. Best of luck.

Also, good man, with your Ibanez UE multi-effects box. I have a couple of those, great units.

Are the rods fuly tightened now, or is there still a lot of threads protruding from the nuts? Does it have any s-curve to the fingerboard? Something I learned on this very site is that removing the strings and totally slacking off the truss rods, then leaving the guitar for a few days for the wood ...
