Nothing but the 95404's go on my Ric 360/12. They really sound great combined with the vintage toaster pickups. I always keep a spare set.

Although there are other similar stings on the market, I alway come back to the manufacturer's recommended product. Strings are easy to play, long-lasting, and clear sounding.

I've been using these strings almost every time on my 360/12 with high gains. So far they are the best sounding. I have a Vox AC15 but prefer to play the Rickenbacker through my Fender Deluxe Reverb. The high gains sound better to me though that amp.
I have used these strings on my Eastwood Classic 12 also. I am curious about the Thomas Infield flat wounds. I just don't want to pay 50 dollars and then find out I don't like them. I don't see how a flat wound could possibly sound brighter than a round wound. The only reason I would want them is because they might be easier on the fingers.

Changed from pyramid strings to rickenbacker original strings after my tailpiece exploded unexpectedly. Great strings. Bright sound.

When I bought my first 360/12 one of the things I noticed was the feel and tone of the guitar. The adjustment was so smooth I didn't even think how it was to play a 12 string Rickenbacker. Until I broke a string, oops! Suddenly I became an experimenter. Yes, I decided that I can find alternatives to these. To make along stressful experience short. I tried many alternatives less costly and more costly, but I was only satisfied with the the Ricks and from pickoftherick a true professional and pleasure. Thanks!

I've tried many different electric 12 string sets with less than satisfactory results. Either I had issues with tone or the strings broke frequently. The Genuine Rickenbacker 12 String Guitar Set 95404 provided the sound I was looking for and made it through a four hour gig the day after I put them on. The customer service was also excellent. Highly recommended.

Have been using these on my 360/12 for several years, they sound good and stay in tune pretty well. My one issue is that the octave G (10 gauge) will unwind at the ball end whenever I tune it to pitch. This requires that I get an extra single 0.10 string from somewhere whenever I change strings on the Ricky... An Ernie Ball .10 works great for this, but it's a PITA!

Although there are other brands one may use to replace Rick strings, I have always use, and will continue to use, factory recommended strings: the right gauge, the right feel, and the right sound. And Pick of the Ricks service is impeccable.

I'll admit I am a recent arrival to the ric 12 string camp, but I was surprised to find that the strings in this set were not packaged in individual envelopes with the gauges marked. I'm used to D'addario, ernie ball, etc. Given how a Ric is strung, it seems easiest to do all the slot-loaders first, followed by the top loaders. pairing the strings in envelopes with their octaves makes it unnecessarily difficult to keep track of what's what.
That and one of the ball-ends shot off when i got the string to pitch (High G, .010). This can and has happened with many brands of string, part of the deal, but just thought I'd mention it.
Otherwise they are perfectly fine strings, nothing special IMO. I bought three sets so my opinion might change after I install them a few more times.
