Re: 660/12 case

Jason,
It is for a Tom Petty 660/12.
It's pretty to look at but not much of a protector.
i made a couple of foam supports for it covered in real nice crushed blue velvet

Re: Ricenbacker case vs. Winfield case

The vintage case is beautiful but does not hold the guitar. The padding that supports the guitar body, has indentions on all sides from the body. The neck support is so shallow, it can barely hold the neck at a slight angle. I had to make several foam pads covered in crushed blue velvet fabric to ...

Ricenbacker case vs. Winfield case

What case is best for a 660/12?
Rickenbacker modern case or a Winfield Ultimate 80's case?
(The Rickenbacker vintage case is junk)
Thank you.

Re: 660/12 case

Has anyone used a Winfield guitar case?
It looks vintage with the fit of a modern case. It’s also $100 less.
Thank you,
Mike

Re: Amigo Guitar Show

I didn't think about the tax.
I paid a sales tax when I bought it, I sure don't want to pay another tax when selling it.
Might have to go the Craigslist route.

Amigo Guitar Show

Hello,
I am looking to sell most of my guitars. I am not playing guitar very much. In fact, you could say I stopped.
The days of plugging in with friends has been replaced by the old acoustic on the sofa, once in a while.
I also used to build guitars and I find I am wanting to dust those off and ...

660/12 case

I have a 660/12 and it came with a vintage case.
The vintage case won't hold the guitar. The guitar bounces around the case.
I had to add multiple pads to keep the guitar snug.
Is there a molded 660 case available?
I wrote Rickenbacker and they refereed me to Sweetwater with a link, but the link was ...

Re: New guy here...

Hello everyone!
I found my password.
Been retired nearly four years. I missed the fires that just occurred.
I'm near Altadena and saw blocks and blocks of burned out homes and it brought me to tears.
I've been refurbishing my first guitar I built in 1982.
It was a copy of John Lennon's Rickenbacker ...

330/12 Fireglo, 1998

Looking to let go of my 1998 330/12 in fireglo. It has two vintage Rickenbacker pickups and a Mark Arnquist installed wider nut. Comes with a modern case. Great shape. I'm in Southern California. I'm figuring out how to post pictures, so please be patient.

Re: New guy here...

I can laugh now, but after a divorce and lawsuit that broke me, I began the rebuilding of my life
The home and the workshop I had created was no more so some adjusting needed to take place.
The tools, guitars, and most material things that I was passionate about were not carrying over into ...
