I've always been wary of signature models, as I'd like to not associate my individual style with anyone else's, but this one will make me break that rule!

just saw this- I love that what's happened to us seems to be a universal reoccurring issue! haha! great you caught it on tape, and nice Gretsch!

churned this out with the 360/12 (and Moog, bass, and drums)
12 strings for 12/12/12!

As they stated on their page, they KNEW it would be a controversial move, and really, if I had that guitar, I wouldn't give a rat's *** who was grumpy about it- I'd just stay inside all day and gaze away! If they tossed the original parts and pieces out, that'd be another matter, but from what I rea...

Yeah, I think it's just my initial persistent efforts at bending, despite the fact that aggressive bends on 12 strings aren't the best sounding things to attempt, unless you're going for discordance- It took me (and is taking me) a while to adapt my soloing style away from that, at least when I'm pl...

They sound great but I swear they're starting to wear way thin at the frets I play around most! I mean there's NO WINDING JUST THE CORE for about a half mm on these frets, across multiple strings...- I'm not one to fuss over details, but these are starting to go already! You think I got an abnormal ...

Hiya- I put the recommended Tomastik strings on my 360/12 a couple months ago, and have been pleased with the sound and playability- But I've read on many posts alot of you can leave these on for long stretches of time vs roundwounds- Mine do still sound fine, but when sliding up the neck, I'm feeli...

hmm this thread's making me reconsider the switch to toasters from hi-gains- both bands I play with, I'm currently using compression and an old tube screamer (on the leads) through a Fender Twin and Deluxe, and it sounds muy bueno- I have always tried to employ "if it aint broke...", so ma...

That's why I check out this forum daily! For years it was Gretsch, Moog, Gretsch, Moog- Now a new contender has entered my scene!

thanks yall! haha, I wish that little orange amp sounded like that! anything past 2 is all dirt with that thing- I was running direct via my compressor into a 16 track, with some reverb of course- my nails were still pink from a Halloween party, and by the way, happy Halloween!

She was great! Unfortunately, Dex was having an off night though and had a meltdown

playing a show with the Lets Active drummer tonight haha! (she plays for her brother, Dexter Romwebber, we're opening)

I have a 360/12 and LOVE it! It's more versatile than I thought it was going to be, and have used it for all the shows I've played for the last month, solely! There are a few things to do to help the sound and feel of this guitar, which I'm sure you've seen all over this forum- MY next Rick's going ...
