Hey Jake. Got any info on Tom's doubleneck? No detail is too insignificant. Thanks! J

I hear he rubs snot on the strings to grease them up; is that too insignficant, Jdog?

That's not snot, Jeff, it's Vick's Vapo-Rub. He keeps a small supply in his nose.

I do recall that it's a '74. Jetglo.

It is more than likely a '74...acquired from Norman's Rare Guitars in 1979 during the recording of "Damn the Torpedoes". Tom used the guitar for his 12-string work, until a year later when a '65 360/12 MG replaced the double neck...personally, I don't blame Tom...I prefer toasters to Hi-gains, myself.

Thanks for the clip! I never saw that, very cool. I don't know, Jake, those hi gains sound pretty jangly to me!

Don't think the 362/12's were introduced until 1975. Could be wrong though.

[jdogric12]

That's right, Stan, officially, but as we know, little is carved in stone when it comes to Ricks. I had a 360 WB from '97 once and a '74 330 with 21 frets. I miss them both.

[Scastles]

Very true, JDog. There are a few 362/12's from '74 out there. This is what makes Ricks interesting. Many times it's difficult to exact production years and sometimes just as difficult to define certain models.
