I'm sure it does. It's just that none of them have one all through the sound - Just parts here and there.

It's very possible that the electric 12-string tracks on "Green Grow the Rushes" were recorded with heavy studio compression rather than a chorus pedal. Also, I forgot to mention that there is definitely at least one acoustic 12-string track on "Kohoutek" and possibly one or sev...

I think you mean Roger McGuinn, or possibly Jim before that... Which is a part of my implied point--there's always going to be a generational thing, and to paint any generation with a broad brush, or draw conclusions from narrow samples for anything excepting humorous or ironic purposes, serves nob...

...and your point is...? I think you get it. The Ric is a fascinating instrument in many ways, but the fact that it's pigeonholed by the majority of guitarists, means that there's a limited market. Maybe you should encourage otherwise? As I have said on other boards, there's a reason why George/Joh...

Me stubborn? :roll: Outtahere :arrow: I'm a little stubborn myself. :wink: But when you have evidence, including the man himself's word... If Peter said, "I bought a 360/12 for the Fables album," I'd believe him; however, within my own mind, it's not possible. Not only does it not sound a...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WcwX3NzZPg I did this to show what you can do on a 360. ..but missed all in between... :D I use mine fopr just about everything. Great sound and great guitar - my 360. The clean sound btw is instantly the sixties to me who grew up with the music and the brit invasion...

if you watched my video on Peter Buck's LP, you'll notice I make it clear that Les Pauls are GREAT clean guitars. No need to tell me, I sell dozens of them a day :lol: Anyway, I agree with most of your view of PLB and LP on "Green", and LP maybe being used on "Document", I'm not...

I disagree, and this is coming from a fan who was obsessed with Peter (Obviously) in his early teens, when he had nothing else to do with his time.

I own the demos; I hear a six string guitar.

Patrick, I believe you're incorrect about the Rickenbacker 12-string Peter Buck used in the mid-eighties and on "Fables." Check out the Raleigh 1985 live footage on You Tube where Peter plays his Jetglo 360/12 on "Talk About the Passion," "So. Central Rain" and "G...

Mitch owns an Electric XII - see the previous page.

I know that - Peter used a lot of Mitch's gear back then.

Thanks, Patrick. With Buck one never knows for sure - he sometimes remembers things a bit different than others do. Didn't he get the LP and then started using it on some of the Green stuff? David (Sweden) might be able to confirm, he's got a lot more PLB gear knowledge than me. Peter uses a LP on ...

My answer: Let Mitch answer.

He bought the Gib (I know there are rules here about other Manufactures) around the time Document was being recorded, and first used it for the solo on The One I Love. You can't say Gibson here? Oh, did I just say Gibson? Really? Sounded like I said Gibson :twisted: Anyway, welcome to the forum, Pa...

I think it's a copy; how many XII were in the shape of the Jag?

It's important that you guys also know about the rosewood fretboard without the traditional Ric lacquer. That's just his 360, though. Here's one of my old posts on the official Ric forum: "I had a thread on an R.E.M. fan forum on "How to Sound Like Peter Buck", which had lots of infor...
