Re: To keep or not 2005 330/12

From the experience I had with the 1996 330/12, I am thinking that the necks from the eighties to mid/late nineties might be better for me than the extra thin ones of the sixties and seventies. I've got a '98 330/12VP in the classifieds that I just now bumped to the top, if you care to have a look....

Re: 450/12 Set Neck Reset...

You nailed it...
I came to the same conclusion on the spot, but then it began gnawing on me...

Thanks!

450/12 Set Neck Reset...

Hey all... I'm looking at a '64 450/12 that has a set neck that needs to be reset... (I wish I had taken pics, but I didn't)... :? How were these original made? I'm seeing possible dowel lacquer checking (4 of 'em or so) sticking through a possible re-finned back... Were these originally dowelled, o...

Re: Is This a 330/12VP??

Now You made me snoopy: Which vintage ones do You own? I've owned several 60's 360/12s over the years... And this thing, which was my go-to 12 for many years: http://www.rickresource.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=104&t=395144 I think I want to eventually wind up with a 660/12, which looks to be the...

Yep...!

This is the first "modern" Rick 12 I've owned, and I'm certainly enjoying it as much as the vintage examples...
Beautiful guitar...

Is This a 330/12VP??

Hi all... I just traded for this guitar, and am a little unsure of the model number... It's an M1 serial number, so January of '98... Toasters (with foam pad), and Schallers... Pics here: http://s231.photobucket.com/user/e_stamp/library/Rickenbacker%20330%2012VP Looks to be a 330/12VP, but I'm havin...

Re: My '67 360/12 Restoration Project...

Love to see that thing get the full restoration treatment, but it's also a great sounding guitar as is...

I didn't mess with the wiring, but i know who did...
It had a teak ( :shock: ) pickguard installed, so got that off of there...

Love to see pics if you do indeed get some paint on her...
