I always enjoy watching these videos with Jay Boone. He's so happy and into what he's talking about. He seems so joyful and proud to get to handle and play and sell this equipment. Really inspiring. What a great personality!
Priceless probably. Same with Tom Petty/Mike Campbells 620/12. Tom used it on the cover of Dam the Torpedo's and probably on every Heartbreaker, Solo and Wilbury album after. How do you put a price on something like that? I'm sure some expert can but how do you quantify a value? These instruments are historical Rock n Roll artifacts IMO.
Brass nut is not original on this guitar. Owing to being so narrow, original Rick 12s are very uncomfortable to play below the third fret with normal-sized adult fingers which has put off many from owning them. Some capo them on the 1st or 2nd fret and tune down 1/2 or 1 step to get to a wider part of the neck and relieve the string tension a bit. The 330/360 12 neck is exactly the same as on the 6-string 330/360 and was not made stronger or wider for the 12. Why? Ask them. They do sound wonderful, like nothing else.
Old Ricks sound much better than the ones made nowadays, not because of the wood over the years but because of the circuit harness. The 0.0047 capacitor did it all, I will never understand why the factory decided to remove it. It's like changing the vocal chords that made you stand out in the first place, you'll never ever gonna make it up for it. Rickenbacker shot on its own foot.
Fortunately, it's not that difficult to wire the appropriate capacitor back into the circuit. Also quite easy to replace the Hi Gain pickups with the Toasters if desired.
Imagine if this guitar was in tune, and the guy played all the tunes, that made this wonderfull piece of wood loved all over the world, long long time before this guy was born.
@@docscout not really just bored of seeing the experts get their knickers in a twist over how to say Rickenbacker properly, comes up in every video regardless of if it’s produced properly or not
@@docscout then you’ve missed my point, which is people take things to seriously e.g. How to say Rickenbacker properly, when it really doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of the universe. Anyway, best wishes.
As soon as you started playing I got goosebumps. Thank You.

Beautiful Ricky that sounds fabulous.
Not just great guitars .... great WORKS OF ART !
I like Joey B's playing.. He really gets a great authentic sound out of the guitars.
Very melodic, beautiful tone!!!
Sounds beautiful!
Check about the .0047uF in serie with the brige pickup. That's the real secret jangle sound. That capacitor was removed in modern models
I own a 2014 fireglo Ricky 360 6 string, would LOVE to have this 12 string to park beside it....
What was the name of the first song being played? Sounds familiar…..
You sell tuners in your store?
Tune that fiddle!
If I Needed Someone. Great track prob blok'd here.
Yeah, I'd like to hear this guitar with Pyramid flats into a Vox AC100! ;)

I wonder what George Harrisons Rick 360/12 #cm-106 is worth?????? The Beatles secret weapon!!!!

Beautiful guitar, but Americans need to learn how to pronounce the name
If you know and love Tom Petty, then you need to pronounce it correctly Rick In Backer, not Rick In Bacher
…..boring
@@jimboobism oh, I see the trolls are at it again

@@jimboobism You can’t have it both ways and it’s impossible to take criticism seriously from someone with “boob” in their name.
