RB-612CS Classic Series : Ridiculous for the money!

Delivered promptly, packed well unlike the last cheap guitar I bought. After a quick tune up I was up and running. Intonation is great, stays in tune but I've not really given it a proper thrashing yet but do you thrash a 12-string???

The finish is exquisite. Again, how they do this for the money is beyond me. Pick ups again are pretty good with nice sustain. Couldn't really justify going for a Rickenbacker but for a tenth of the price, is the Ricky 10 times better? There's a video on You Tube on how to swap the order of the heavier gauge strings so it sounds even more like a Ricky, and is easier on the fingertips I'm going to try. Must be a copyright issue.

Couldn't recommended highly enough. We are living in an age of fantastic cheap guitars and pedals...drink it up!!!

(p.s. Haven't swapped my strings over yet, but doing them one by one seems the way forward from what I've read).
