"COY" definition please

Post by Bighouse »

Is there a glossary of terms on this forum anywhere? I'm specifically asking about some of the acronyms that are used here like "COY". What's "COY" mean?
Because I told you before- oh, you can't do that.

Actually, here is a place with most of the definitions along with a lot of other info on Rick bass neck measurements. Just pick the "RIC Acronyms" tab at the bottom.

Nice list. Is it yours? I'd suggest a few minor corrections, like:

"RoMo" for Rose Morris, as per the Register. The list has "RM" meaning both Rose Morris and Roger McGuinn.

add BH = Black Hardware (not all instruments with BT have BH)

Burgundy v. Burgandy. Common misnomer.

AZG = Azureglo. AG is often used for Autumnglo.

etc.

No, I believe johnallg is the keeper of the list...

Oh, and I believe the "official" definition is that AG = AzureGlo as it was in a RIC catalog that way from the 1970's. ATG is usually used for AutumnGlo, though I've seen AuG as well.

Ok,

Memory fails me, AGAIN, but didn't we at one time make a list for all the VP/BT codes RIC used at one time?

I'm almost POSITIVE we did, and I actually think I saved it on my desktop computer....but I couldn't find it with the search feature.... :evil:

I have to fire up the old bomb and see if I can find it.
