Anyone order one directly from them before? I am really getting interested in a 12 stringer, but I normally like to try gear out before I buy it and such. Needless to say I cant find a dealer anywhere around me that has them. Also if anyone has a 12 string Rickenbacher, what do you think of it?
i don't have one, but I can tell you it was the pioneer and aguably the best twelve string electric.

Rickenbackers are top quality kit. It's unlikely you wouldn't like the guitar, but if you're expecting to sound like someone who plays one then you might find you've still got to spend some cash on add-ons.

I have a Beatle-phile friend who bought a Ric twelve and found it extremely difficult to play in open (1st) position -- so much so that he considered selling it, despite his passion for all things Beatle. After checking it out, I had to agree, it was especially difficult to play, as I found the string spacing at the nut to be very tight. But ... I also realized the nut was cut too high. So he had it properly set up and now finds the Ric-12 very enjoyable. Moral? Quality or not, you may have to invest in a good setup for your Ric. After that, it could be luv.

Well, that could apply to lots of guitars. :P
