Good morning guys. Hope everyone is well! I’m back into my playing after 6 years and thought I might treat myself to a 12 string Ric. It’s a bit unusual I think. Or maybe not? I’ll let you with more expertise decide! This one is from Nov 84. I purchased it as an early V64. I really like the guitar ...

Just curious on the 1998 Collin/guys, do you or anyone have any idea how many were shipped over in total particularly in 64? Id love to know more about this model? There doesnt seem to be too many around looking at the ones that have been registered.

Hey Collin - a couple of amazing guitars you have there - really impressive!

Wow, what a fantastic thread Scotty - A kind of 'meet the family'' ....superb stuff!

Welcome Gaz!

Lovely 1998 there, congrats. 8)


It looks identical to my own (from May '64) - what month was yours made?

Hi Collin, many thanks for the welcome. Amazingly mines a May guitar too DE520. Amazing! Found a relative of mine already! :D We'll need to bake birthday cakes for next moths ...

Very nice guitar! Welcome to the Forum... :D :D
+1! 8)

So it sounds analogous to "blocking" a Strat tailpiece to prevent it from moving. Is that correct?

Hi Gary, thanks very much for that, yeah the trem is kind of locked. Its a little unsightly so I guess I'll remove next string change ...

Sincerest thanks Brian! Really appreciated!

Hi Scotty, many thanks for the welcome. Its curiously 2 bits of threaded bar jacking the string section of the accent up. Im too chicken to remove them right now its its playing really nice.

Hi everyone. Im new here, thanks for having me. I have recdently purchased a 64' 1998 and I hope and Im sure to be enlightened by the many members of Rickresource. The looks like some great stuff here!

Thanks
Gaz
