John: I don't think anyone was offended by your post. But your sensitivity is appreciated. Please tell us about your 12 strings and the difference you find in sound and playability, if any, for each one of them. | ||

John, us old and balding guys don't take offense at the nonsense you young whippersnappers cook up. | ||

I'd like a Chevy, but not that one!! Not insensitive, John.... a fact!! This balding business is a worry..... I've noticed that I've lost hair since I bought my two Ricks and my hairline is receding. What's gonna happen when I get two or three more?? Love the 3 MGs!! | ||

I'm definitely no stranger to losing hair. I had a prominent bald spot 20 years ago in high school! I got tired of cleaning out my bathtub drain every week, so I shaved the rest off... | ||

Nice solution, John! | ||

Like I've said, I'll do that when there's world peace... Peter M., you asked me before what kind of 12 string I was looking for...I'm thinkin' one like these. It might take a while... | ||

OK, Here goes. I'll try to keep this as short as possible. An un-scientific a,b,c comparison. The test: recorded each guitar through the same channel on the board to a separate track on tape deck, through an old MXR dyna comp to level the field,[RM was recorded on clean un-compressed setting to further level the field]. Results: '67 was the brightest sounding. The '96 was less bright but had more mid or bottom to it [rounder]. The RM was very close to the '96 with a little less output. Please keep in mind that the strings on these guitars are all a different age, I think that has an effect on the results. Playability: They're all a joy to play, but I think the '67 is a bit easier to play. Maybe because of the smaller radius of the fretboard, or the string spacing, not sure. Anyway, I hope this gives you something to ponder. BTW, as far as whippersnappers go, I'm 19 years older than my '67. You do the math. | ||

Dane: A wise choice. | ||

Boy, you are a "whippersnapper"! (I'm good with math.) ;-) Thanks for the report John! | ||

Thanks Johnv. Chalk another one up for the nice playing 1960s vintage Rickenbacker 12 string. |
