Wow, Paul. What an amazing piece of work. Congrats, Peter.

At least this one doesn't use the word "Rickenbacker" anywhere.

Excellent. I bunch of friends are getting together this weekend to play Abbey Road and some songs by XTC (my two favorite bands).
I, alas, have a gig out of town so I can't be there.

Steve, if you can, try to make it to a Confluence and 'test drive' a short-scale before you buy one, as it might take a little getting used to.

That sounds like a good idea. Any Washington-DC area get-togethers planned? Or any DC-area short-scale Rick owners just want to get together and jam ...

I'm loving my 330/6 FG, but something I've always wanted was a short-scale Rick. I can't afford a new 325C64, and now that we've got a fresh wave of Beatlemania (courtesy of Rock Band and the remastered CDs), I expect the prices for used ones will go up.

I'm starting to fear my only hope may be to ...

Thanks!

It's nice to see Peterson offering a less expensive way to get a strobe tuner. I wonder if the AD converters in the sound card may have an effect. If you have cheap or low resolution AD converters, will the Strobosoft be accurate?

Peterson even have a $9.99 strobe tuner app for the iPhone. As you ...

Took me several tries, but I did manage to catch the little bugger. Very clever game.

I posted this in the main technical forum, and a couple folks said it would be better to post it in here, so here we go:

Here's an idea I had, and I'm wondering how fast it will be shot down by those with more technical know-how in the pickup department:

Why not make a Toaster-style pickup that ...

Today I was alarmed to discover XTC's "English Settlement" was not in my iTunes. Scrambled to find the CD and rip it. Ah, pure joy. Here's a sample of their pop-geniosity from that album. (Ric content: Dave's playing a Rickenbacker 12-string.)
