Exactly.

Sounds like your friend went with the practical and responsible purchase that best suited his needs and fiscal comfort level in the end.

Mastery Bridge is a game changer.

Judging from the postal code, that must be London Ontario, right? No: Phantom Books are proud to announce a special Q&A session with Rickenbacker CEO John Hall which takes place from 2pm next Saturday 19th March at Shapero Rare Books, 195 New Bond Street, London W1 1ND here in the UK. The event...

Full-width inlays returned March 2008.

UV basecoat with CV topcoat started around Q4 of 2008. UV topcoat came in 2009. All DCM guitars were made in either 2006 or 2007.

Why do you say it's a c64 and not a v63? It was manufactured in 1998, right?

Wear like this is pretty uncommon on Ricks, and highly desired by many (includin...

Any chance you can post some specific examples?

I didn't know Prince used a Rickenbacker on Purple Rain. Or that Radiohead used one on Creep. Cool to see Sleep and Kyuss on there. To clarify, Wendy Melvoin used a heavily-modded (G&L pickups) 330 on "Purple Rain", not Prince. Ed O'Brien used his 360 MG/BT (stolen in Denver in 1995) ...

Hi, I also have wondered about rickenbacker case history. I recently obtained two Rickenbacker "briefcases" of unknown origin and history I would love to learn more about. They are both typical grey with stitched leather black ends and handles, blue interiors and logos, very similar to gu...
