That is great news John! I look foward to the jingle jangle of those vintage pickups in my 330/12...maybe even this year!

Great company....transparent CEO.

Nah...i ordered it new from a shop that did not have one on order. Prolly 2 years before they get it.

There should be a system for those that are ordered and already sold, and those that are bought for stock. (although they prolly dont stay in "stock" for very long...

Ended up ordering it from my local dealer friend (Mainley Music, Ellsworth Maine). Chris is a stand up guy and I have a bit of patience.

THE WAITING IS THE HARDEST PART...

I hear you...like i said, my baggage.

It's your choice....all of these factors effect tone.

Same thing with picks...individual choice.

I always lean on factory issued parts...

Again...it is so foreign to me, i cannot fully grasp it.

I get the touring/adjustment thing...makes sense.

I bought an Elliott Easton Gretsch that the guy sold off the pickguard and the TRC...there were all these little things that i had to repair/replace. I guess this is my baggage.

It really is amazing what Ric has done...kinda like Scotty Cameron putters. Started out as a small builder, got some high level exposure (Beatles, Tiger Woods) and took off. Ric has certainly stood the test of time...and no sex scandals.

Bravo...

(random thoughts from an over-simplifier)

Are you saying "ric360" is not a unique password around here?

Does the x brace impart any sonic difference?

Completely jaw dropping....totally boss!

Good points...

I am always so careful with my guitars...i treat them like the fine instruments that they are.

Others may not be the same.

Sounds awesome...definately my next purchase!

Congrats Peter!

Did you replace the pickups or did you buy it that way?

My next goal is a 12 with Toasters...tell me about the tone? Do you have any experience with higains?

The "click" or "ping" is usually binding at the nut. Either a widening of the nut slot or some lube at the nut should resolve this.

I am following the Ric on the Bay with a missing TRC... Now i understand what a pain it is to take it off and put it on with the strings, but c'mon man...it's like wearing a tuxedo without a tie. Also, it's not a small TRC...not real easy to lose. Are we to assume that the seller sold it off? And if...
