Ric Neck Width

Post by skeeterbuck »

I noticed on the Ric website the following specs....
330/12 & 360/12 1.63 inches at the nut
381/12V69 1.931 " " " "
660/12 2.107 " " " "

The one that threw me was the 381/12v69. I thought that all of the 12 strings were more or less the same width at the nut except for the 660/12.

Is this something new or has it been this way all along?
I 'm sure that someone here knows if this is correct

Funny. I mentioned this to their webmaster way back before the new website went online, but I guess he forgot to fix it. It's a typo.

Yes and a lovelier neck has never been seen this side of Audrey Hepburn...

The Ric website now list the specs correctly for the neck width on the 381/12v69.
