I haven’t asked anyone at RIC HQ yet, but I will ask here: New 300 series with 21 fret necks. Same change to Walnut-body models?

You’re right - it slipped my mind that there’s nowhere near the neck problems on, say, a 360/12V64 vs. a ‘60s 360/12.

I feel a modern-day 330/12 MG in my future.

My sarcasm was lost.

100% post-factory.

Also, Mr. Torres is listed as “client,” and as such is neither an employee of RIC or POTR, but the owner of the instrument.

John Hall, call your office: 1. Korina body wings / headstock wings 2. Ebony fingerboards (lacquered) 3. 325 shaped Solid Bodies, possibly scaled down to obtain a comfortable weight. 4. Satin finish necks 5. YES! chambered 4003 Bodies. Understood to be pricey. 6. A 100% Wenge 4003 or 4004. I’m sure...

Hard to tell from the photos I posted here, but I could have sworn the pictures that Ric posted with racks of them had lacquered boards, and there has been talk of finished fingerboards returning. Maybe it was just my hopes influencing my perception. If not, bummer. I was loading the gun to pull th...

What I’m about to say is pure speculation. My guess is that the advent of the Rickenbacker 24-fret neck in the first place (‘70-ish) was to combat a structurally weak spot at or around the neck pickup, particularly on 12-strings, and then quickly became standard issue. So what I wonder is whether or...

Return to lacquer fingerboards?

.039 for a low E string. I guess don’t knock it until you try it, but that seems awfully light.

The only minor issue was that, when on the neck pickup selector, the "bridge" amp still got some signal, not insignificant but also not like you'd expect at full bore. I'm guessing that may be because it's a relatively cheap cable in the scheme of things vs. a Rickenbacker or other active...

He plays three TB&HB songs. Here Comes My Girl, then The Waiting, then American Girl.

THREE F-bodies. Holy cow. Be still my heart.

Nice to see you around, Paul!

I just got the RM signature guitar and am finding some fault with the circuit design. It's basically the MXR Dyna Comp CA3080 circuit, but without an output (volume) control and a sensitivity control. ... Any suggestions? ~ Steve I suggest doing like I did and getting an old MXR DynaComp. :D OMG I ...

Happy Christmas, folks! Hope you all get your favorite Rick this year.
