duane v Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 I don't like Rick guitars. The fretboard feels overly sticky and they have a funny tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Great looking group! Are you playing bass lefty because you are in a tribute band?(I think I remember you saying so). If so, that is impressive dedication and a helluva lot of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also John Fogerty got some really great Sound thru his Ric.. I have a Maple Glo Ric-360 6 String & a Fire Glo Ric-360 12 String & they’re amazingly great Guitars! Build quality is outstanding.. Like Custom Shop.. The Necks are some of the best I’ve ever played.. Especially the 6 String.. Their Sound is amazing! 2 of my favorites! Especially thru a good Vox Amp with Celestion Alnico Blues…..

I had a 4003 for a while. There was a reason Geddy played them all those years. I sold it to a guy in a Rush tribute band named Blame Canada. Edited December 23, 2022 by Sgt.

Valeriy Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Merry Christmas! After reading this thread, I remembered Jan Owen, one of the US guitarists and my friend from Virginia, sent me this video where he demonstrates the guitar that I sent him 2 years ago. Perhaps someone will remember, I wrote about it then here on the forum, I had to send this guitar in parts, first I sent the body and waited until it reached America, and then again from Russia I sent the neck. Sgt. Pepper even then tried to joke like that how could it be that the body is in America, but the neck is still in Russia 🙂. I hope he enjoys a light Beatles medley on this guitar. In general, everything went well then, both parcels, both the body and the neck, reached Virginia successfully. My friend assembled this guitar for the first time with his own hands and was quite pleased and sent me this video. He's pretty good at playing guitar, I think. He has been asking me for a long time to send him one of my guitars with my active pickups, which I talked about in the next topic (https://forum.gibson.com/topic/171565-i-apologize/page/4/). So, this is Johnny Guitar (Japan), a vintage LP guitar upgraded by my humbuckers. You can hear its sound yourself, here my friend uses even a wireless way with a transcoder and a simple Fender combo. But of course, it will also sound good in almost any other equipment. It seems, George had a similar LP guitar with gold pots and bridge.

I do remember typing that, so I am guessing the guitar you sent had a bolt on neck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valeriy Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Well..., Everything was there, I don’t remember with the neck or the body, the main thing is that it was all there . I still only have a brass plate for attaching the neck to the body with bolts. I didn't dare to send this plate because it was branded with a number and lettering made in Japan, and it was clear from it that the guitar was vintage. And any of the guitar parts could be lost during shipping due to that plate. Instead of it, I sent another plate without any markings.
