In recent weeks, whilst investigating an electrical problem on somebody else's Ric 360-12, that fool made a crafty recording. It occurred to that fool that it might be worth restringing the 230 with Nashville High Tuning strings. There is also an argument for running the 15k humbuckers via DP3T mini switches to obtain a more convincing jingle jangle sound.
ta!
I have now carried out my threat to restring with 10-14-09-12-18-26w.
Additionally, after some cursory Interweb research, I finally appreciate the significance of the Teletronix LA-2A compressor to the early McGuinn sound.
I now get most of the jangle of a RIC twelve string without the hassle of the hypodermic punctures inflicted whilst changing strings.
