Cool video. When the walnut models were announced,I was kind of unimpressed,but the more I see them the more they are intriguing me. Now I think they are probably fabulous when you actually get one in your hands.

I have had Thomastik strings break while re-stringing different 12 string guitars several times. I love the strings but after about the third time having the string break, I gave up on them. I have never had any other string break on these guitars.Just too expensive to keep trying the Thomastiks.The ...

I used to go to listen to Billy Cowsill regularly at the 'Fairview Pub' on Broadway,in Vancouver in the 80's.... a great band ...

Great picture......hadnt seen that one before. Man,where has all the time gone.....

The guitar on later track from all mod cons to sound effects was recorded via a drum mic in a room lined with corrugated steel.
The bass on eton rifles and going underground was recorded in the same tin sheet lined room but with two mics, on on the cab, one facing the tin sheeting.
Thats cool ...

I have also always wondered what equipment was used on various tracks by The Jam....

Nice collection of Rics!

I just bought 5 packs,and they are my favourite string...however,Pyramid flats certainly feel the best,by far.

Thanks for the great clip.

Interesting post.I never even noticed Martys bridge on that guitar before,and hadnt seen Wellers 330 mod before either.I am curious as to what the reasoning is,for replacing the Ric tailpiece.Sustains better?? Or is it just for visual appeal...

First thing I found myself doing after reading this,was to see if this was posted on April 1st.... but still....exciting news,if true...!

Great 330 pictures... I have a 1992 360,and the colour and shading are identical. 1992 fg's are the best I have seen until this years wonderful deep red fg's...
Thanks for sharing the pics.

Thanks BCGUY for posting those videos.I havent heard the Grapes of Wrath for a long time...they were a good band,and really appreciated by me back in that era...
Good to see another BC'er here that also loves Rics,Vox...and Weller.....etc!

I have tried Pyramids,and just loved picking up the guitar and feeling those smooth strings--however-- I have actually found the compressed Ric strings to be the best for my 360/6 and especially for my 360/12.
