Re: Setup recommendations 360/12
That's a little unusual for a Rick, but it all depends on the nut. Winding it down all the way on the post could be all it takes to solve the issue. The 1-degree or whatever from winding it down could have a big effect.

Thanks. Ended up redoing that string and all is good.

Turns out I was misled during the sale. The strings given to me were not the same gauge. The low E was .046, the new pack had a .052. Ordered a new set of strings.

Good call, a low .052 is way too heavy for a 12-string. Nice way to remove the neck from the body quickly though.

Were you misled deliberately? That's how I would perceive your word, misled.TBurst Std wrote:Turns out I was misled during the sale.

No , maybe misinformed. The guy who sold it to me was doing it for his wife's friend. She was a recent widow and knew her friend's husband knew something about guitars. It was communicated that the 2 sets of Curt Magans in the case were the same as what were on the guitar.

Okay, no big deal. Strings are cheap.

Still looking for recommendations on starting measurements for relief and action.
Re: Setup recommendations 360/12
You can set a Rick up just like any other guitar, there is nothing special, magical, or different about them compared to any other instrument. Besides, setups and measurements are a very personal thing so do what you usually do for any other instrument you own and adjust from there to your own liking.TBurst Std wrote:Still looking for recommendations on starting measurements for relief and action.
