Re: 12 string guitars with curved headstock
Fair assessment. For what it’s worth, I’m not totally familiar with the traditional control layout etc., I just picked one up, strummed a chord or two and said “that’s not bad,” and put it back. You could probably still get the tone of the “Night Of Fear” intro pretty close on a recent model. The Ri...

Re: 12 string guitars with curved headstock
The b&w pic is Ace Kefford of The Move! Roy Wood also used a Fender XII, maybe the same instrument seen here.
Squier has reissued the XII and in my limited taste tests is better than any ‘60s example, but still pales compared to a properly set up Rick 12er.

Adding washers to truss Rod nuts?
What’s this all about?
And, how does this apply with Ricks? Or, does it? I can’t imagine it would be applicable to pre-1984 rods, but what about after that?

Vox Super Beatle/AC100 cabinet question
I know at least a few of you lunatics have the cab mentioned above.
Here’s my question: I need a template for where one would drill fresh mounting holes for the stand for one of these.
If someone’s got a cab with no stand, that’d be perfect. Just need to know where the holes go.

Re: Looking to buy back my first Rick purchased in 1990 lost in 2004
It can happen! A few of us here have put out the word and retrieved our favorite Ricks from out in the wild. Best of luck.
Also, good man, with your Ibanez UE multi-effects box. I have a couple of those, great units.

Re: Pre-1984 truss rod question
Are the rods fuly tightened now, or is there still a lot of threads protruding from the nuts? Does it have any s-curve to the fingerboard? Something I learned on this very site is that removing the strings and totally slacking off the truss rods, then leaving the guitar for a few days for the wood ...

Re: Pre-1984 truss rod question
this opinion comes from owning three 1981 instruments with the old-style hairpin truss rods and playing them on stage for decades: 4002WG bass, 320JG guitar, and 360-12OS FG ckbd guitar. Sometimes you can only do so much. The wood can shrink, give a little at the stress points, and all other sort o...
