Oh... and love how he hands the 360-12 off to the audience at the end. Just caught that part...

Sorry if this has been posted earlier, but new to me. Killer rough Rick 12.

A not as cool but cleaner version.

I suppose this would help...

My earlier post prompted a revisit to Yes-BBC Sessions and I have to say this may be my new/old 4001 go-to track. Loved this Beatles cover and the fact the Peter Banks got tons of non-traditional Ric tones out his RM 1997, but Squire’s RM 1999 is emblematic of that freight train drive that soon ...

"What are the guitar nuts made of?"

Rickenbacker owners, of course... <rimshot>

I'll be here all week. Try the veal and don't forget to tip your waitress.

Sorry, ...it's been a very long week...

I'm jealous. I think I need to quit hanging out here. It's demolishing my self-esteem...

I second jps's comment and would add Genesis Live. Love Rutherford's 12-string sound. Also add Yes-BBC Sessions. Full of Ric 6, Ric bass and Hammond goodness, as prescribed by the FDA as part of your daily nutritional requirements.

That is just too cool. A flurry of recent great finds.

You may find a much lighter pick is a help on the 12. All my 6's get the same heavy, but the 12 string gets a very light Dunlop. Helps avoid getting caught in the bear trap. Good luck!

Ha! I just looked closer at the pic and the saddle is completely normal. They're offset for correct intonation on that octave pair. All 12 strings are like that. Your's is perfectly fine.

One other thought, given that it's sat for years and you may not yet have settled on which new strings, the intonation will have to be adjusted on the bridge. Whether you do this yourself or have it adjusted for you, it's a perfect time to clean up the bridge. My 12 came with a bridge that actually ...

I'll let the experts give a more knowledgable response, but I can't see playing it like this doing any damage. It should be easily cleaned up and saddle replaced. Restringing will be the hardest part!

Congrats Jessica! That is an absolutely gorgeous guitar and a great find! I do love the triangles and "R". I'd hold on to that one forever. ...though, like most here, more are sure to follow. Welcome!

Thanks Mark. And thanks for starting a great thread. I've enjoyed reading this one long before I had a post to add.

Please forgive the self-indulgent addition to this thread, ....but I'm still happy as a clam over this resurrection. My 360/12 turned 46 years old this month and, after seeing all the gorgeous FG's and MG's on this forum (which make me green with envy!), this may seem mundane, but to me it's ...
