Buying Without Trying

yeah, I've just purchased a 660/12 Tuquoise from them. It's in transit, but up to now, dealing with them (Mike) has been very pleasant. It won't be here for our planned "all Rick" gig, though. Shoulda ordered speedier delivery! Nobody else order the next axe I want, too!

On the 12s, one thing I've noticed is that the narrow necks feel MUCH more playable if the action is really low. . .

I'd love to have a 330/12 or 360/12 but am really spooked by the reported narrowness of the neck. Unfortunately the lack of local Rics requires that buy to try, and I'm not going to do that again. I did notice as I was reading the catalog that the 380 has a "bit wider" neck; I wonder if a twelve string version is in the future, similar to Peter McCormack's suggested "Millennium Edition" 330/12. If wishes were horses...

The 660/12 has the widest neck of any Ric twelve string as I understand it. Check one out if you can, or check out the specs on the RIC website or the current product brochure.
