Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I am so sorry to hear of Craig's passing, and realize it was almost a year ago. Getting ready to sell my Ric 12 string that I got from him, and searched for his site. I am shocked and saddened. As all the previous posts said, great guy and a big loss. RIP

great job, Rob!

Robert-
I read all the postings in your thread as I was researching what everyone was saying about modding the nut. Great info there. Good luck with your mod. Here are photos (from an earlier thread):

I had my luthier cut a nut with wider string spacing for my 370/12 and I cannot believe how much of a difference it made. It's like playing a different guitar. With a setup and janglebox, ahhhhhhh!

Thanks everyone for the RIC love. She's over at my luthier for a setup and new nut, to improve the string spacing.

Welcome, Corey! Please keep us informed of your progress.

Also, we love pictures here, and a white 370/12 would be a wonderful thing to behold ... :D 8)

Taking the guitar to my luthier tomorrow and I'll see what he says as well as finding the nut from the ...

Been really enjoying my white 370/12, but fretting at the nut is an issue. I've read that I can get a wider nut which seems to be a help to many. Where can I get the wider replacement? Tried to look within the site here but my access is restricted since I don't have enough postings. Never had that ...

Here she is:

I just received my '99 370/12 that I got from Craig Witty. Wow what a beautiful instrument. She sounds and looks just beautiful. Can't wait to bond some more. As some of you have mentioned, it takes a little while to get used to the narrow neck and additional string combo. Regardless, the sound ...

Corey--welcome!

And welcome to the 370 club. Here's my 370/12:

Please post pics of yours when it arrives...

Wow - what an absolute beauty! Thanks everyone for the welcome. I don't anticipate the ...

Hi all-
Just joined as I await my first Ric in the (hopefully) next few days. It's a '99 370/12 VP. Although I have played guitar for a few decades (couch picker - not gigger) I hadn't played a Ric until this morning. I went over to a local Guitar center and played a 330/12 and a 360/12. Oh that ...
