Hi John,
This may be of interest to you, I have it and it's very usable.
Regards,

John, you play guitar correct? You don't necessarily have to get a Rick to get the Rick sound. Search 'Janglebox' and you'll find a pedal that imparts some EQ'ed compression in a couple of stages to give that Byrds vibe to other electric guitars. I did a half-way decent mockup of it with plugins back a couple of years ago when someone asked the same thing.
Band limited compression; a couple stages of it in series - with some peaks in the EQ as well - that gives a very 'rick' sound to single-coil guitars. I can dig up my signal flow path if you are interested - PM me.

I can vouch for the Sonivox noise Dave links to. Good stuff.
I bought a line6 variax 600 last year and this very guitar is done quite well in there. So, just spend yourself another 600 bucks or so for this axe! LOL! Anyway, this would be a good inclusion- I agree.

I could use a good 12 string ricky RT
Because my primary instrument is guitar, many of the guitar real tracks are redundant to me, because I can already come up with something similar on my own... but I don't have a 12 string Rickenbacker, and that is a sound I can't replicate.
And I haven't heard any guitar modeler that does justice to the sound of a 12 string. To me, the special niche that real tracks fill is in providing great sounds that either can't be reproduced realistically via MIDI, or which require specialty instruments that most musicians don't have, but want to include in their songs. A 12 string Rickenbacker is such an instrument IMHO, and is therefore a good candidate for a RT
