Such a nice sound plus one of the most beautiful looking guitars ever! you play it really awesome!

[noisesoundtonevibe]

Aw, man, you make me want to buy a 12-string electric (if only I had the money) You sure can make it sound good!

That's some funky blues riffin'!!!! Sort of reminds me of Leo Nocentelli (the Meters). Is he an influence of yours? Louisiana

Beautiful sounding guitar you got there. And it sure is a looker!

[MAKEITRAIN07]

You have a damn tasteful collection of instruments! Love your videos.

[crazynicktaxi]

It was Awesome!However,I cannot understand what makes a 12 string Rick!I is way different from that one...you know..the chiming sound!...

[lukecyrus]

Thanks!

I think the pickups make the biggest difference. Another thing is, that the octave strings are on the other side of the main strings, so on the ricky you hit the high string first...

[crazynicktaxi]

oh I see!Thank you for your quick answer and the info;)

The pickups are P-94 right?

By the way do you know the difference between P-90s and P-94s?

[lukecyrus]

No, those are mini-humbuckers, like they used in the 70s les pauls.

P-94s were a new take on the P-90s, they're actually stacked humbuckers, that are supposed to sound like singlcoils. Haven't heard too much praise about them, though.

[crazynicktaxi]

thankss again for the info:)

[earthvssoup26]

@crazynicktaxi P94s are P90s that fit in regular humbucker rings.

[pelosuavin]

i like your tone man. Keep it up simple.

[arpee915]

Hey dude can you sing as good as you play? C'mon everyone, let's give a big round of applause to the one and only Luke Cyrus! Take us off into song Luke! Sing Brother Sing!

[lukecyrus]

i wish I could... I'm working on it though!

Thanks!

[mowshow1sl]

i always love the tone in holow bodys and the twelwle string just makes it sound briliant

[brez9091]

beautiful heartfelt playing. no stock licks-just soul ticks! i just bought a 67 cherry 6 string riviera.

[redowen333]

Nice playing. Was just listening to this while restringing my own riviera - a 90's cherry red. Took the scratchplate of mine because it got in my way - and it looks way better.

[veeshead]

1:15 into this looks like you have the palsy.Where's the scratchplate?Dan

[lukecyrus]

The palsy? That was a vibrato, by bending the the neck, buddy.

Unfortunately the guitar was missing the scratchplate when I bought it, but what the hell... At least that guitar gets played every day.

[veeshead]

hey,I was just kidding about the palsy.I liked the video but liked your Beautiful Love more.I have a 6 string version of the same guitar a 65.Maybe you could find the pickguard on Ebay.I really like the mini humbuckers.Dan

[lukecyrus]

Sorry, you got me in a pissy mood when I read your comment. Thanks for the help on the pickguard...

[monkyadelicchile]

amazing guitar bro, and amazing sound

you are a fcking demon.

[eodm90]

congratulations, fantastic style.

what's the title of the songs you play?

[lukecyrus]

Thanks, the songs don't really have titles, they're not really songs at all, I was just playing around with some chords...

Cheers.

[silverfr3ak]

totally jazzy!

(and amazing)

[gvil67]

[gtrbri98]

Great man...I love how you can handle so many different styles with ease. I'm subscribing! Cheers.

[muscletruckdude]

go epiphone, and go you. that was really good playing there

[julosx]

The Riviera XII is Miki Berenyi's (Lush) favorite axe. Except hers have been made at Gibson's in 1993. 12-strings electrics rule !

[busterbus1963jp]

Amazing! Nice Meters style licks, but much more cool!!!:D
