After 2 years, I learned that Mike Campbell DOES know the Rickenbacker way. While his '63 625/12 CM108 may have been strung traditionally, it was "like that when [Mike] bought it", his '65 360/12 NS and '66 360/12 OS are strung properly.

Of course, the difficulties encountered because of the nut slots were many, ultimately solved by using aluminum foil shims...a real pain in the butt but it worked. A couple years ago, I read that most conventional stringing for 12 string guitars was actually the high first, then the low, and that John Hall had intended his 12 string guitars to be just the opposite. Last year, I went back to "John's way" and restrung mine in its original fashion..

I thought the model was a 490?
