Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

366/12 a couple days ago. Wondering when it will show up their? Long ago, around '03, when I originally joined this site, I registered this same guitar but, it never showed up. Also, if I want to add pics, how would this be accomplished their?

I gather this one is yours... The pics look fine.

It must be approved by Gil or Peter before it shows up in public searches

But as you can see it is in the register.

Yes, it has to get approved before it shows up, just to weed out spammers and such. It usually takes 2 to 3 days for them to get it done...

Thanks guys, I found were my stuff was obviously by the pics being their. Just had to look a little further. I put the rest of my RICs in their as well. Not done with all the pics yet. This is a great place to 'archieve' these things.

Agreed! Plus it is shared research with other RIC players. Lastly if they are ever stolen it is a trail that can lead to the instrument's return... We have helped to re-unite several RICS with their real owners.

There ya go
Nice 366/12. I have one just like that

Thanks for the comment and the inclusions of my Rics. I found it odd that most of the 366's that are registered are mainly '67's and '68's with one or two made earlier. At any rate, nothing past '68. While not everybody who may own one of these is a member of this site, you'd think at least one built after '68 would show up. I was under the impression the 366 was built through '74. Perhaps it was only the converter system was used up until that date on a different model(s). Anyway, it's nice to own something that isn't 'the norm' in the RIC line.

Exactly why I just registered mine! Good stuff!

Interesting point about lack of convertible models after 1968. Kind of dovetails with the dropoff in the number of 12-string guitars -- of any model -- produced in the few years after 1968. Here are numbers by year of 12-string guitars currently listed on the Register:

1967 -- 111
1968 -- 51
1969 -- 3
1970 -- 16
1971 -- 1

+2.

They're definitely in a useful place (the Register) in the event there is a theft -- it could help lead to their return.
