Dave: if you can, I'd love to see a video of that one. I don't believe I've seen any 12-string video from you.

High praise indeed coming from you! I have to admit, even as a vintage Rick guy, I have played some unbelieveably great 12 strings from recent Rick production. Given the quality I have seen in the last few years (my buddy's new 4003 bass is KILLER) if they ever get a true '60s 330 six string re-issued I am ordering it yesterday!

No problem guys. Been trying to do vids of other things to balance out my vids, but just picked up a 1993plus FG. Loved it so much that I got a 1993plus in MG with some birdseye figure. I will do a video of the Rics going into my 1065 Vox AC100 rig. To hear it in person is like being in heaven......

Putting all the hyperbole aside, the 1993+ IS the best 12 string RIC has ever produced. I've owned 4 Rickenbacker 12's and played dozens more. This thing blows them all away. Plug it in, don't plug it in... doesn't matter. It sings like an angel.

I've had mine for a month now and I continue to marvel over the amazing tones coming out of that beautiful guitar. The search for my perfect 12 string guitar is over. 1993+ with the custom set of TI flats... done.

Anybody looking for a pristine '98 660/12 (the only '98 in the registry)? It's the second best Rick 12 I've ever played. I've had it for 17 years and tweaked it to near perfection. Never planned on selling it. That was before the 1993+.
Now:
'96 325V63
'98 660/12 FG
'15 1993+

Then:
'66 330 FG; '75 430; '76 3000 JG; '91 325V59 MG; '92 325V63; '96 330 JG; '96 360/12 MG; '00 360/6 CW; '00 360/12 CW; '02 650D; '03 380L

They look really great! I still have not seen one in MID BLUE yet...

Snowglo would be fabulous on one of these.

Pleased to hear they sound so good. Looking forward to David's youtube demo.
