Your favourite Model

Post by briseyw »

Hi all

I'm back on the forum after some time and log-in problems so I thought I would ask everyone if they have a particular favourite RIC that they always look to use on stage or in the studio. Although I have seven RIC's (6 guitars and one bass) my favourite instrument is my 1993 360/12 WB FG, which I used to use all the time on stage and in the studio, but with my new band I tend to only use six stringers on stage (saving 12 strings for the studio) so I always go for my 2002 330/6 FG with back up of my 1999 330/6 JG.

What about you guys??

At present, I have only one Rick; a 360/12 string. And I use it everywhere; on stage, in the studio, everywhere. Oh, and welcome back, Brian.

Between the two, I'd have to go for my '86 1997, just because of a touch more versatility. For some reason, I just seem to favor this one more than any of my other guitars. My V64 12-string isn't terrible by any stretch, but the 1997 is more practical.
