Kris and Bill: Perhaps others will comment on their experience with regard to the ordering and receipt of these TIs so that you can get better appreciate how to order and the timelines involved.

It is also my undestanding that Gino will be informing all of us about payment info, and I suppose this will happen soon...

I am sure that there will be an update soon. Gino's work can take him away from things for a couple days, but I'm sure he'll chime in soon.

This thread used to be in the Rickenbacker Guitars forum, and is now located here, of course... so that may have confused a few people.

At any rate, I had the TIs installed on my C63 two weeks ago in San Diego, and they sound fantastic. I am extremely pleased with the sound I'm getting on Beatles/Byrds/Who songs. Even the later stuff, such as Tom Petty material, (which I was worried about, given the fact that those songs are likely rounds) sounds great.

These gauges intonate very well, and they're staying in tune. They also feel great, as you'd expect from the TIs.

Karl was right, this set increases the 'presence' of the octave strings and creates a new balance overall. 'I Call Your Name' for instance, sounds spot on with flats.

Hi everyone! I'm still alive.LOL I did get really busy with work. Voxtalks was also down for awhile so I figure I will wait a little longer. I am trying to email all that were interested. Kris, I have you down for 5 sets as well as Bill but I need your shipping addresses. [email protected] is my email. I will keep you guys updated as per money orders.--Gino

Gino, any updates on this project? Just want to make sure I didn't miss out!!

Has anyone ever heard more on this? I've emailed Gino several times, and have not gotten a reply.

I was wondering about this myself. Uh oh. I hope Gino is all right. Did anyone send money yet?

beatlefreak · Post by **beatlefreak** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 3:28 am

I got a price per set, but never got an address to send money to.

Gino contacted me several months ago via the forum. I was told I had a couple sets reserved. I did pass up on the "TI list" as I am cool with ordering singles through Just Strings whenever I need them.

I understand the custom sets Gino is working on will be a special price. I personally do not know Gino except for here on the forum. My guess is he is still waiting for TI to deliver.

The last I had heard from him, he reported that TI had given him .a price per set, and he would let me know shortly where to send payment to. That was about two months ago.

I remeber e-mailing Gino a few days before 2 May, which IIRC was his cutoff for orders. I don't think I've heard anything since then either.
