The performance from McGuinn makes this a wonderful piece.

That must be quite an old video; early 1990s, perhaps. The reason I guess so is the prominence of McGuinn's "King of the Hill." Enjoyable.

That 381/12v69 sounds heavenly.

Interesting was McGuinn's 330/12LS in Azureglo. Didn't know they made a 12-string Lightshow. Maybe they made just one special for RM?

McGuinn's 331/12SF LS is JG in all the photos I've got. It was a one-off, a series 1, BTW. There was a good picture of it in Guitar Player's January 1992 issue, page 105, posed in front of a Transonic cabinet.

I love slanted frets. Omigosh, how cool can you get?

[kennyhowes]

JH and I watched this at his house once on VHS. I spot Dick Burke's back in one shot, and Brian Carman playing the 355/12JL.

Those of you who have been here to RIC HQ, note in the footage of the factory that our upstairs sales & customer service office hadn't yet been built, and the area was being used for storage.

Great video with some nice shots of Ricks being built.

[deaconblues]

JH and Roger McGuinn look like really nice guys.

I especially like when JH is saying something like, "it's not the guitar for everyone, it's not like a Honda or Toyota. It has a very special function and place and I'd like to keep it that way."

The 371/12 AZ in the video is non-slant...guess he had two...

[jingle_jangle]

Now that I've watched most of it, you guys are right--the AZ LS shown in the vid is a non-slant fret. I seem to recall that the 12 SF LS was no longer in Roger's possession...can anyone verify or shed some light on this?

The SF LS, I understand, was typically used for only one number--the closing number in their set, "Eight Miles High", due to its penchant for heating up and burning the plastic faceplates.

[Scastles]

Paul, from what I understand the SF LS was busted up badly when thrown across a stage sometime in '77, if memory serves. It was later restored and refined in JG, and is at the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame.

BTW, I think it was under the possesion of Scott Jennings when the restoration was done.

Cool video, I enjoyed the factory bits, and Mcguinn of course!

But....he did tease us all holding the 331/12 LS plugged in and all, and not even a note or light appeared! What a tease..

and those weird desert/city driving sequences? The Japanese have some very strange taste it seems?

Cheers,
