High Value Man Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I know I might get some shit for this. But I had to.........This guitar is a work of art. It's retails for nearly $4,000 on musiciansfriend. I got a good deal on it. Just like John Lennon's guitar, this has been modded with a bigsby tremelo. The Kaufmann it came with is shit. Why Rickenbacker puts that shit on their beautiful instruments is beyond me. However adding a bigsby actually increases the guitars value. I love this thing. Too bad Visa credit card owns it and not me. But as long as I make the $100 montly payment, they won't take it away. I can now say I have John Lennon's favorite guitar. This was his early Rickenbacker before he got the "Miami" model in 1964. I think I am a little crazy, but I want another Rickenbacker, maybe the black "Miami" one! I don't own shit guitars anymore, yeh!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, thanks. http://www.blink-182online.com/forums/index.php/topic,104723.0.html Are you not getting that Maton anymore or are you just getting both? I am getting both. The Maton still has not arrived yet and that pisses me off cause I bought it in Feb. The seller says it should be here today or tomorrow. He better not be trying to rip me off. wow kool aid man, before i tell you how big of an asshole you are, you were joking right? He's mocking me. He isn't serious.

Guest THillingworth Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I'd feel like a slimball having a bunch of expensive crap especially when so many others are without anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Value Man Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I'd feel like a slimball having a bunch of expensive crap especially when so many others are without anything. I admit, there is some hypocracy there. But not as much as you think. Guitar has been a huge passion of mine for 15 years and it was time for a nice guitar, and since it's been my dream to own one of these guitars, I bought it. It's not like I live my entire life in greedy excess like various other people. IN short, huge difference between a few thousand on a guitar and living with millions. But the point is taken to the extent that it is an "excessive" item. I must say though, it's pretty sad that some people are reduced to coming into the guitar section in an attempt to talk about things I bring up in other sections. It just shows how lacking their argument really is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Value Man Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 what kinda amp r u gonna run it through? Not sure yet. The amp is the next thing I have to work on. I guess if I want the classic Beatles sound I'd want to get a vox.......which I may. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
