I didin't know I *needed* a Ric until I found this place.

I'm thankful for the efforts to keep the site up and running, and the useful (and polite) discourse here.

After playing it as it was for 3 yrs, I finally got the nut worked on this week. Much, much better now, 1st position chords no longer pull it out of tune. I was hesitant to let just anyone work on a Ric but in the end a nut is a nut. Looking back, it was definitely a good purchase for me, very satis...

Just as an update, now that I've finished it plays beautifully, intonation and action are great. The nut is a tad high, not nearly as bad as I originally feared. I'll eventually get that worked on just to ease the pressure required for 1st and 2nd fret notes. It's an awkward balance trying to use li...

Thank you all for your very good advice. I decided to purchase it, a nice simple Mapleglo with a touch of birdseye, and am in the middle of setting it up. The guitar was clearanced at GC, a local Ric dealer, and their policy is not to allow returns on such items. Turns out they are having a "re...

I have a 660/12 and have long been eyeing a 360. Recently I've run across a NOS (early 2014) 360/6 at a good price but have some setup concerns before I decide whether to buy.

I like those TV knobs. One more ...

My one an only Ric. The character is a little more subtle in natural light (the flash accentuates it a bit). I'm happy with it.

Thanks Peter. You are a gracious and generous host.

I grew up playing my Dad's Ranger VI. It had pretty high action, was never overly loud, and my memory said it sounded ok. Years later (about 4 yrs ago), long after I learned to work on my own guitars, I ran across it again at his house. Shimmed the neck a bit (bolt on of course), adjusted the truss ...

No longer waiting. After missing Santa in 05 and 06, he showed up a little early in 07.

I see today that 660/12 BBRs are starting to ship.

Still waiting on a 660/12.

Some beautiful 660/12's and the first fireglo is very classy. Congratulations. I've been lurking here for quite some time and anxiously await a BBR (literally checking the shipping info every day). Have even seen one available on the web that is testing my patience. Although I really haven't seen a ...
