Members Glenn F Posted October 3, 2009 Members Share Posted October 3, 2009 Hi there, I picked this up yesterday: it is a 'Del Ray Fab 12,' costs about 1/8th the price of a Ricky 360/12 (although I think it looks more like a 330/12). I don't think Teisco Del Ray is still in business, so someone must've bought the name. I can't find any information anywhere; it's as if someone had knocked these guitars off in their basement or something.... lolz.... Anyways, this guitar plays well, sounds good, stays in tune, is properly intonated, 2 octave fretboard, set neck, and probably has just enough differences between it and a real Ricky to avoid a lawsuit against the manufacturer.

Members Glenn F Posted October 4, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 4, 2009 Anyone? I've come across one review of these guitars, and it was written by someone who got it at the same shop as I did. Very strange... Cheers, Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Glenn F Posted October 4, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 4, 2009 Some sweat shop in Asia Korea, to be precise. At 1/8th the cost of a real Ricky, I am somewhat unapologetic about my purchase. Almost all of my guitars are made in the US, Canada, or Germany, though. Cheers, Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
