Wasn't Lennon's (DB 122) broken at the headstock area?

Thanks to all. I thought that they were different, but a guy here told me that he thought they were the same.

Are the 325V59 (lower guard) and 325C58 pickguards and TRC identical with the exception of the color?
Thanks---

I suppose this would be best answered by Paul, but if anyone else has any input, please feel free to answer. I have a cheap electric no-name guitar which I know the previous owner re-finished with an acrylic lacquer. There are a couple of areas that I'd like to overspray with clear and I'm planning ...

I just received an e-mail from the Bop-Kats guitarist Jerry Shaw in reference to the Capri seen on the Ted Mack video. Not a great deal more, but it is from the actual original owner of the guitar. Bob Hi, Bob and Sara, Been out of town and this is the first chance to get back to you. Saw your Rick ...

I sent an e-mail to the BopKats web site requesting information on the Capri in the videos and I received a reply this afternoon. I hope you have your barf bag handy.

I was wondering if anyone here has tried an Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi with their Ric? If so, what was your experience and your opinion?
Thanks----

In the color pic of the group playing, does it look like George's mouth is bleeding to anyone else?
Maybe it's just me.

Wouldn't the theory about the bronze strings only apply to the wound strings? Seems like to me that the E and B (1&2) should be pleanty loud if the pickup is working properly.

My 325C58 date is in the 1st week of August 2008----my birthday is August 2, so it's close.

My favorite amp is a Vox AC15CC1X (Blue Celestion). I mostly play at church and in my music room at home, so I don't need the power of an AC30-----although I'd love have one. My wife on the other hand, would not be amused at all by an AC30

Can anyone give me a simple explanation for how the stock 325C58 controls are wired and how they control the different pickup selections? I know that the tone controls are wired backwards so that to turn up the tone, you actually turn the pots counter-clockwise, but the control of the volume for eac...

Jetglo----I had my choice back in December and I chose the Jetglo----no regrets!

I know it's a Byrd's song, but "Chestnut Mare" is super on a Ric 12.
Another great 12 song is Dave Mason's "We Just Disagree".

I believe that the first tubular stand I bought (or saw for that matter) was in the early 1980's. I can remember playing many gigs in the 70's and having to keep my case close by to put the guitar in during breaks. I do have a memory of the Hamilton chrome guitar stand (much like their foldable musi...
