You guys are absolutely awesome. J.D., Ian and everyone, thank you for the information. I have been watching ebay and have been surprised by how many Rick B's have been available and the wide range of ...

What is the difference between the various B series Rickenbachers? I have heard that prewars are the way to go. How can you tell a prewar from a later one? Why do some have white bakalite covers and o ...

Thank you one and all. I went and checked out what was available on ebay and was surprised to find several B 6's & 7's for sale. Price seems to vary. Last one I saw went for $515 and it was in emacula ...

What is the general concensus on how much one should be expected to pay for a Rick B6 or B7? I would like to find one but I don't want to pay the moon for it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated ...

Howard - I think the impression that Mike A. played a roundneck set up lap style may come from the cover of the "Dobro" album which features a photo of a roundneck. Just a guess. Where is the real aut ...

Mikey - The prewars came in 12 & 14 fret, round or squareneck. My Dobro teacher (Cal Hand) had the first prewar 14 fret squareneck I had ever seen. I lusted over that thing for years. There's just som ...

I don't know about anything on-line, Steve, but if you want to date a National resonator guitar, look in the back of Bob Brozman's book on Nationals. If you're looking for something on, say, a 1960 Su ...

I like the Flattops. They don't make as much noise as phosphor and they're not too brittle sounding like so many new strings. Haven't tried the Elixers but I must say I don't like them on my acoustic ...
