Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Peter,
I first turned to these pages in frustration after picking up a Rick 12 string some years ago. The information and community at The Forum have absolutely made that illusive jangle come alive. We all owe you thanks as does Rickenbacker itself. Cheers!

Yes, I've bought several guitars from them as well as a bunch of other stuff. No problems , they are good folks to deal with and they check every instrument before it goes out.

I've got a late 90's MG which measures 40mm at the nut and 48mm at the 12th. Depth is aprox 18mm all the way up.
