duane v Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Congrats on the Rikko cookiemonster Some day I'll circle back and get me one of them, but this time I'll go 12-string like you did..... since I'm more of a "rythmer" these days.

saturn Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Apparently it's a Rick, which was my guess. But is it just me...I don't see the pictures "at the top" :blink: Edit: never mind...I forgot I was on Page 3.....I had to go back to the top of Page 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-7 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Very nice Rick, Cookie. I guessed gold top but I think I like that even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Wow. That is one of my dream guitars! Nice one. It looks minty fresh. Nice pics too I like the closeup of the headstock where the rest of the guitar is kindof out of focus. Cool! By the way I love the narrow necks on Rickenbackers. I can't stand a big ol wide fretboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabba2203 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I like the finish. Enjoy! I love Rick basses but I'm not much into Rick guitars. I don't know why that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingarmadillo Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Nice, that makes at least three of us here with a 360/12 fireglo. What are you going to restring it with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingarmadillo Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Not sure any suggestions? I've actually settled on Ric strings. I tried D'addario, Thomastik Infeld, and Pyramids. The D'addario had intonation issues on the "G", they have plain gauge G strings (the Ric set has a wound 20 for the G). The Pyramids really had the McGuinn sound, but are just outragously expensive ($42/set +/-), also you may have to recut the nut for the A and D strings - they're heavier than the Ric strings. The worst thing about the Rics is you can't find them discounted since the only place to get them is the Ric website at $20/set. The TIs are nice too, but you have to custom build the set - I haven't found an electric 12 string set. Ernie Ball makes a 12 string set with a wound G but I haven't tried them yet. BTW, Ric strap buttons are made by Schaller so if you use Schaller straplocks you won't have to change the buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I settled on the Ric strings too. You can get the Ric 12 string sets at Pick of the Ricks - http://www.pickofthericks.com/products/Rickenbacker-Compressed-Wound-12-String-95404.html - $17.50 B) Pick of the Ricks also carries a couple of different Curt Mangan 12 sets - nickel set $11.95, and a coated nickel set $15.95 - http://www.pickofthericks.com/categories/Strings/ If you're having intonation problems, you can get a Ric 12 saddle bridge - http://www.pickofthericks.com/products/Rickenbacker12-Saddle-Guitar-Bridge-00821.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 Thanks guys appreciate the advise. I'll have to check em out. It is one beautiful guitar and I hate buying without playing first but they seem to be rare around my neck of the woods. I had read were it changes the way you play because of the thin neck and 12 strings but I'm quickly adapting to it and after a couple hours Its getting a lot more comfortable.
