If possible explain the diff in sound between the 660/12...

[cjj]

Hmm, interesting explanation...

Bear this in mind......
To summarise, the only way to tell the difference is to walk into a guitar and play the two guitars for yourself.
Hope this helps.

That'd have to be a pretty big guitar...

That was a cool read but I'll take the video's..............at least until I've had more coffee!

John, Killer 360 (and nice playing)! Re-necked at the Ric factory? I didn't know they did that kind of stuff. What were the main differences between the '66 neck and the McGuinn-spec neck? Wasn't the McGuinn neck supposed to be a re-issue of sorts of a mid '60's neck?

Dr. Tom,

Do you really hve a PRS 12 string? How does it compare to a Rick?

Yes I do:

I can't give you a direct comparison because I no longer own a Ric 12 String. I used to own a 360/12v64 but I sold it because it was too difficult for me to play because of the narrow neck at the nut. I replaced it with a 1966 Fender Electric XII after I saw and heard "If I Needed Some One " performed on a Fender Electric XII on the "Tribute to George Harrison DVD". The Fender had plenty of jangle and chime. Then I discovered the PRS. It had more jangle and chime than the Fender plus many more sounds; plus it plays like a 6 string. Now that I know that the 660 sounds like a Ric and has the wider neck I may just get one. Then I'll give you a direct comparison !!

Tom

I know this is the Rick forum, but that PRS 12 is one nice looking axe!

How are the pickups selected on that PRS?

If you go to the second picture you can see the 3 way pickup selector switch; plus the tone control is a push pull, which let's you coil split the humbuckers; It's very versatile.

Thanks. Loving Rick's doesn't mean you have to stop loving other guitars!

What kind of Bridge is on that PRS-12 ?
Is it a 12-saddle bridge ?
