Okay so I have some odd news on my 12C. While playing it at home (and after a set up) the thing played really bad. Some string were completely dull, (even after new ones) as if there were no life to the g, b and e. You just had to play really hard to get a halfway decent sound out of the thing. The ...

I got that phone call today guys that my rick is in!! Goodbye bank account, but hello to the baddest guitar ever! I'll put pictures up tomorrow (not like you've never seen one before but im psyched!).

oh Yeah!

Thats good because I plan on switching mine back and forth. The string holes in the trapeze tail piece on the C63 just looked a little big because there are two string ends fitting in one hole. I thought maybe it was just designed for 12 strings ONLY.

Is it Possible to string a 360/12C63 as a 6 string. Or is the tailpiece not set up for that? It looks like it has some big holes in it, almost like you NEED two strings in there so they wont slip out. Anyone know if thats possible?

I ordered mine from a place in sunnyvale ca, called guitar showcase. As far as music stores in sacramento...dont even bother with them. I buy all my gear from L.A. or San Francisco.

I see, so I would assume you could find out where you place on the list by calling the store you ordered it from. Hopefully we'll see them in that C63 run I hear everyone talking about. Sounds promising but you never know.

Wow you ordered yours that long ago!? When is yours due to be in? Mine was ordered on 3/9/05.

Awesome! Where did you order yours from?

Thanks for your help Jeff.

I noticed on the Ric website under the tech specs for the 12 C63 that its output is Parallel Mono, and other guitars are "stereo and mono". Can anyone explain what Parallel Mono is? I'd appreciate it.
Thanks

I didnt even know there was a "for sale" thread...thats awesome. But Im hoping my wait time wont be too horribly long. It was ordered 2 years ago. Whats the average wait time on these anyways? Ive heard it can be up to 3 years.

Hey guys, new guy here. I just put a down payment on a 12 C63 that was ordered on 2/9/05. I should be getting it within a few months I believe. My first Ric...I'll post pictures.
