1. Great Strings & Excellent Service

   Posted by Duncan - Melbourne Australia on 14th Dec 2014

   I've used TI strings before so this review is more about he excellent service from Pick of the Ricks. They arrived in superfast time which is really impressive given the distance. The TI strings are great as always. Thanks guys.

2. Best strings ever

   Posted by Dave Craft on 12th Dec 2014

   I was hestitant at first with purchasing these strings, mainly because of the cost. However, I discovered through others that they last longer than conventional strings, so the cost is a "wash" when compared to how many times I change strings on this RIC 370-12. Secondly, the tonal qualities in these strings are just hands down the best these ears have heard. I am now a convert, and will use these strings in the future.

3. The only strings for your Ric

   Posted by Cody Smith on 28th Nov 2014

   This last month has been all about rediscovery. I've had every intention of selling my 620/12 for the last two years because it's just never sounded like I imagined it should. As a last ditch effort, I replaced the Hi-Gains with a set of Curtis Novak Toasters, and while the improvements were immediate, I still felt like something was missing. Having used Rickenbacker's strings and Curt Mangan in the past, I decided to take the plunge into Thomastik Infeld territory. If you have any doubts as to whether it's worth it or not, I promise you won't be disappointed. Classic tone from the moment you tune up, and they're a joy to play. These are the only strings for your Ric.

4. Make a Danelectro sound great too!

   Been using these on my Danelectro Hodad 12 for a couple years now. They feel and sound great and best of all they stay in tune!

5. Thomastik/Infeld, awesome strings!

   Posted by chuck on 14th Sep 2014

   I've purchased and installed thomastik/infeld flatwound strings on my 64' gretsch country gentleman and loved the feel and tone I experienced. I loved them so much that when I recently purchased a 90' rickenbacker 360/12v64 I thought why not?, and began seeking out a set of flat wounds for the ric as well. After finding the set I was looking for through pick of the ricks and installing them I noticed that same great feel and tone I've come accustomed to. From now on, I'm (stik)ing with ThomaSTIK/ Infeld strings they're the best!

6. These are the strings you want on your Ric 12

   Posted by Charles Boehmig on 17th Jul 2014

   These strings, along with a good setup, will help you get a great sound and wonderful feel out of your Rickenbacker 12. Mine's a 330-12 from 1997, and when I took possession of it it was strung up with some roundwounds of unknown origin. I tore those rancid strings off faster than you can say Thomastik-Infeld and put these flatwound beauties on. A few truss rod tweaks later and my 12er is playing like butter and I'm nailing those Hard Day's Night tones I bought the guitar for in the first place. These strings are pricey but you get what you pay for.

7. Great Strings!

   Posted by Unknown on 14th Jul 2014

   These strings made my Rick 360/12 a bit easier to play, and have a very nice sound. I'm glad Pick of the Ricks offers them.

8. A perfect match!

   Posted by kenny Howes on 6th Jun 2014

   Thomastik-Infeld flatwound strings are the closest match I have found to original 1960s and 1970s Maxima strings, as branded by and for Rickenbacker...and believe me, I've played many collected NOS of such instruments. Their low tension makes them last, literally, for years. Thank goodness POTR offers a set for electric 12-string.
   
   Quick turnaround and great communication go without saying. Thanks as always!

9. Excellent sounds

   Posted by Unknown on 20th Mar 2014

   Strung my 360-12 with these Thomastik flat wounds and the sound is fantastic. Really, this is the sound you expect to hear from a Rickenbacker 12 string.

10. Nice flatwounds for a 360 12

    Posted by Unknown on 26th Jan 2014

    Recently purchased a '98 360 12. During my research I heard that these guitars sound best with flatwounds, but you have to be careful who you buy them from.
    
    John Hall believes that some string makers are not careful in holding string diameters consistent through the length, making them impossible to intonate.
    
    Well, I bought these very expensive strings, and put them on the guitar this week. After the customary settling in, they tuned up and held real nice, and the intonation is fine.
    
    They do sound "authentic" in the 60's Beatles/Byrds jangle way, but I will say that I liked the sound of the Ric ground rounds that were on it too. Different, but good tasting flavors, both.
    
    Now I love playing the flats on my P Bass, its so smooth and without finger string noise and its I feel the same way with the TI flats on the Ric. If they last a while (as I have been told), I will update my rating to "5"
