Steve Howe's Rick

Post by tallpat1 »

This is a rare photo of Steve Howe playing a 360MG/12 I am a rabid Yes Fan I have seen 15 shows since the 70's and I have never seen him play a Ric live. :o

from the looks of the staging,i think this may have been from the GFTO tour,and i believe he used the rick on "awaken" at that time. he went to a steinberger guitar for that in later years...i'm not sure if he still even has that rick.....

According to his book, Steve's Ric was stolen and he would very much like to get it back.

Did he ever play a RoMo at any point?

I saw them three times on that tour and Howe definatley played a Ric Fireglo 12-string - different from what appears to be a Mapleglo in that photo. He indeed used it on Awaken. Amazing 12-string solo on that one - I'm in awe everytime I hear it. I never ever saw Howe live or in pics with a RoMo, though.

Rose Morris, the Uk distributor in the 60's .

Steve does indeed own a Rose Morris 1993 /12 string from July 1964.
but according to his book he hasn't used it properly because all his 12 string prayers where answered when he got a Steinberger

Well since he isn't using it properly, he should sell it to one of us! He could donate the money made from it to a music program.
