Yes, there were a bunch of rumors of it secretly being The Beatles. They sounded similar to Sgt. Pepper era. None of the band members' names were listed and it was on Capitol Records. I bought the first album when it came out, not because it sounded like The Beatles but because it was good. I now ...

Hello All,
I have a '72 4000 and the E string has a lower output than the other strings. The pickup is a screw top hi-gain, but from what I understand, these are not adjustable. I also have a '09 5002 mando and the E & G strings are lower output. I've been using a compressor to deal with levels and ...

Trick of the Light from Who Are You is the Ric 8 string though.

Mine shipped and is due Monday!
