My new Rickenbacker


High Value Man

Recommended Posts

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.  :-P

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!!!!

seems like you got a bad case of GAS (Guitar Acquisition Syndrome) and just went with it.  

its a superb guitar, take care of it.  

And please play it through a nice amp too, it deserves it.

HAHA! Yep, that's pretty much what has happened.

I see like 10 guitars right now that I want.............this could get very expensive.

Anyway, thanks.

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.

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.

Dont see how it matters.

I was just trying to prove that you were being hypocritical and was glad you agreed.
