Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

This is my third Ric LOL..

I thought about the rotary and out of phase sounds. But I already have seven Strats for that. This Ric does not sound my 03 Monty 360. This one is a bit more of that jangle of Ric sound that you think about when you hear the word Ric. My other 360 bites much harder. I have noticied too that this oth...

He seemed to have turned in a Fender and Gibson dude after the Beatles. Considering the numbers of Stratocasters that he was seen playing along with the great effort that he made just to get Lucy back while most of his other former guitars wound up under other people's beds.

Since all america seems to be buying Icon's and Contempories that might not be a good idea on Hofner's part just yet.

I guess everybody is out until the holidays are over or they might be playing their new Rickenbacker's. I have been playing mine. Of course I already have a 360. But the pickups on this one are different. But then again so is the other set of highgains that I bought. Ric must change these things out...

Well I did it I did it. I bought a brand new 360 Jetglo six string to convert to a 370 six string that will match my 370 twelve string thats in Jetglo. I'm not gonna rush the project though. I want to take my time and not make any goof up's if I can keep from it. One of the things that I'm thinking ...

So you cut your guard with a band saw Todd? I have this Scroll Saw that should do the deed alright if the stuff doesn't melt back together. The pickguard material that I ordered for the MInt Green Guard that I made for my Dano did not melt. But I tried to cut Plexi with it before and it melt making ...

It looks and feels different to me. I bought some Plexi not long ago. I used the Mint Green guard material on the guard I cut out for the Dano. It cut very well on my scroll saw. When I used the Plexi it melted back together almost as fast as I cut it.

Well Todd even your pickguards are outstanding pieces of workmanship. It might be wize for me to consider the pickguardian. I rather like the gold ones myself. However it might be nice to have them both (my twelve and this six) in white to match completely. The name I was looking for popped into my ...

Wow thanks a lot for your Post Josh. It makes a whole lot of sense now than before. One thing I didn't know is that the body was solid under the pickups. Why I didn't know that is I used to have a Kustom guitar. Very simular looking guitar if you've ever seen one. But Its totally hollow inside. This...

Todd, thats some great level of work that you've done to your guitars. Quite frankly its awesome the level of fit and finish you've brought to the instrument. I feel reinforced that what ever I might do has been done double before. As I've said I own over thirty instruments and most all of them have...

Ah but I dearly love that Fiberglass cut off wheel. You know zig, zig, sig, Heil heritage microphones LOL.. But you know you might have something there. I was just taking those extra Highgains out of the padded envelope I've got em stored in. It look like to me all I need to drill a hole for the wir...

No I wasn't thinking of a vintage Ric at all. But sooner or later they all become vintage. Roger Mcquin probably thought the same thing LOL.. There are some new 360/6'er's floating around. I rather like the wiring in my 370 just fine. The mixing control of the fifth knob allows a lot of lead way in ...

Well I thought you fellas were joshing me. But you learn something every day. I had sorta heard it the opposite way around. However no hard evidence was ever offered. All I heard about it was that his signature guitar was a 370 with the checkerboard binding (which is cool) and the onboard compressor...

Bails I don't think that you've quite grasped the lunacy of what I'm saying. I am not asking if anybody plays a 370. But has anybody ever made a 370 out of a 360?
I have a 370/12 in Jetglo. I want a 370/6 in Jetglo to match. I am thinking of a texas chainsaw event.
