The trapeze is the same for either a 6 or 12. Pick of the Ricks has them for $40. The bracket is another $20.

I never restring my own 12-string Rics...always take it to the local guy (and now) with the strings *I* want. He sets it up for me, no problem.

Does it make any difference which string goes in first..octave or regular string?

This isn't one of those anal-retentive issues we are so good at dissecting (and defending one side or the other) to the nth degree?

Seems right to me.kennyhowes wrote:Nyahh.Memphis Blue wrote:Does it make any difference which string goes in first..octave or regular string?
I probably wouldn't remember if it were me. Oh, if you're buying a Trapeze TP and don't want to redrill, you can buy a TP bracket from Winfield vintage that has the mounting holes in the same place as the mounting bracket for the "R" TP: http://winfieldvintage.com/parts/end-hooks.html
Someone asked about Trapeze TPs yesterday as well, though in their case it was due to a broken "R" TP.
