RIC Boutique 12 string nut

[modrock]

Does anyone know why RIC only offers one nut now for all 12 strings? They used to have three, one for the 360/12 ( with binding ), one for the 330/12, and one for the 660/12 ?

Any thoughts or comments appreciated...

Gary: With regard to the old 360/12 nut, it was replaced with the 330/12 nut as the latter allowed for a wider spacing of the strings on the fretboard.

However, As I look now at their parts listing the 330/12 is 03327 and the 360/12 is 03328.

The 660/12 nut is listed as 33328.

Thanks Peter, I suspected that since the new re-issues apparently have wider spacing at the nut.

Cheers,

Gary

Is that true? They're using the 330 wide nut on reissues like the 360/12c63?

Dan and Gary, as I look at the parts listings again there are separate numbers for the 660/12, the 330/12 and the 360/12.

I have made the corrections in my original post below.

I hope that someone from RIC will step in here and let us know the difference between the 330/12 and 360/12 at this time.

Yes they are. I asked this question last year, and John Hall responded that the 360/12C63 now uses the slightly wider spaced nut.
