Set neck 450/12, this seems strange. Are there many of these or was this a mistake in the manufacturing process?

Aren't they all set-necks? (450 models, that is). As for 12 string versions, I don't think they are super rare.

They are all set necks. Quite a nice feature for the "low end" Rickys.

It is from this Ebay listing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/1966-12-String-Rick ... 240%3A1318
My 1965 450/12 is a through neck. All of my 450/6's are through necks. I thought the set neck was generally just used on the Electro ES-17 (420).

+1. More were thru neck rather than set neck. I have seen 6-string 460s that were a set neck as well, from 1966.kennyhowes wrote:Some are neck-through.Janglyman wrote:They are all set necks. Quite a nice feature for the "low end" Rickys.
