It’s fact alright! It just seems that 12 strings cause too much stress for the casting. I’ve had two replacements already on my 1989 330/12, both new from Rossetti UK.

Having just looked at Ebay, it would seem that it is not just old Rickenbackers being parted out. Among several other instruments, there appears to be a nice 2012 660/6 body on the system. I have to ask: why......and where is the rest of it? This is not a cheap guitar. Why turn a quality hand-made g...

Spandau Ballet's Gary Kemp used a 1968 (?) Fireglo 360F on their video for 'Lifeline,' easily accessible from Youtube. Unfortunately there are only fleeting glimpses of the guitar on the video but I have since seen the UK 'Top of the Pops' archive recording which has longer and better images, althou...
