Further to recent e-mails about RIC guitars, I had a look at their web-site.
Saw a nice article about Marty's visit to the factory which can be found at
the following link and will be of interest to non-guitarists also. Sorry if this is really old but I only saw it today and thought it was a good read.

Does anyone actually own a Rickenbacker 360/12? That's the next one on my
wish-list - is it as good as I imagine it to be?

I currently play a Fender strat. It's my pride and joy - you can't really go
wrong with a strat. The only problem is that I can't sing. However, a useful
tip for others who aren't graced with a good singing voice but want to
record demos - always leave two tracks spare for the vocals and do two takes
so that the vocals are played back on both tracks, i.e. no harmonies - sing
exactly the same melody on both tracks.  The vocals will sound much stronger
then - however, you have to make sure that the two takes are replicated
almost exactly. If you want to add harmonies or backing vocals, do these on
a separate track.

Lastly, has anyone had a go at tabbing The Awful Ache?

Cheers
Andy
