Scott, could you please explain the "convertible block" feature in a bit of detail for those of us who are relative newcomers to the Rick fold? |

The block is where the arm-mount goes on a 366/12. You screw the arm-mount through the top into the block. |

336-12 and 366-12 instruments had this block.
The instruments destined to possibly be Convertible models had a different internal routing that left an additional block of wood inside the guitar near the sound hole. The post that holds down the comb arm on a convertible model screws in to the body and into this additional block.
As it is a part of the top of the guitar and glued to the back, this block makes the instrument more solid, giving it a bit more sustain. |

Scott are you refering to me or someother Dale who sold Craig the Lefty Rick.. The last Rick I sold was in 1983, so maybe you are speaking of another seller. |
