HI VERN,

Thanks for the video of your Rickenbacker.

It has a nice crisp, clear tone. :)

HI VERNON,

Once again youir Ricky sounds great, but your rhythm track is too loud. IMHO! :whoa:

I love that tune, Paradise Isle. 8)

The 1950 Rickenbacker sounds fantastic, and I enjoyed your redition of harbour lights. As a recent newbie to non pedal steel I would love to know your tunning. all the best

Rickenbacker Tuning

Post by Vernon Hester »

Its the standard C 6th tuning
High string up, E-C-A-G-E-C-A-G

Sometiimes I will tune the 7th string to F. and
On some tunes lower the 4th string to F#.
The other neck is E 13th or E 7th, A6th.Move it around a lot.
