Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Has anyone ever restrung a 12 string acoustic guitar like a Ric? I realize it would most likely require a new nut, but was curious if anyone here had done it, and what did it do for your tone? I've got a 660/12 and have a Rainsong JM3000 on the way and was wondering while waiting on Fed Ex to get it ...

Paul,

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

I think it's great Ivan did this project and I encourage things like that (sans the fake logo), but I also think it's the responsibility of us "grumpy old backseat drivers" (I'm 34 btw) to help educate the younger folk so they may understand when and why they are wrong or misguided about certain ...

I saw Rickenbacker Guitars (Official) post this link on FaceBook the other day for a custom one off they are selling. I just thought all of us here might like to see it!

Wow! They are my favorite band, yet I didn't know they played Rickenbackers in the past.

George Huntley is no longer with the band, but his replacement guitarist was a pretty good ...

Not exactly giving away much on the article! Congrats, though!

I think we all wish Paul was in our backyards...

I was just curious if anyone here has had any experience playing Rickenbackers through a Fargen "Hot Mod" modded Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue and what your thoughts on it might be. For those of you unfamiliar with this, here's a link for your information. I've seen good information about the Fargen ...

I don't know about a MID 620, but here he is playing a MID 660/12...

Absolutely stunning work on that 12 string Paul. Thanks for sharing your pictures - I always come to this thread when I feel the need to drool...

I'd LOVE a pm to the link as well, if possible! Merry Christmas from the forum!

Thanks Werner!

Question: I have a 1987 320 JG with Grover tuners. My 1987 620 FG has Schallers. My 1997 360 also has the "Made in Germany" stamp on the tuners. When did Ric switch tuners?

Answer: Unfortunately, there's no ...

Absolutely stunning work on those latest acoustics. I can't believe you have those beauties out in the dirt!
