Apologies for resurrecting this old topic, but I've wanted a Starfire for a while now and I think my favorite out of the lot is the Starfire IV. Does anyone here have any experience with these guitars to share?
I think the 12-strings sound lovely, too, but that's a whole other discussion..

Re: Vox Amps Big vs. Small
Hm. From someone who has wanted an AC30 for most of my guitar-playing career, this discussion has been illuminating. If -- well, when -- I get to the point of deciding to buy one, I'll have to try out an AC15 first.

Oh my goodness, what a beautiful guitar. I wish I could make an offer for it but I'll keep an eye on it anyway..

Re: True or False: If you don't like vintage frets...
I have spent some time thinking about this issue and I've come to agree with vintagemusicgear. I think it's something that you get used to over time and it's one of the distinguishing features of these guitars. That said, I would always choose a guitar I know I will spend time playing -- if I bought...

Re: 60's Rick 330 reset neck with added binding and crushed pear
The inlays are beautiful! I love the way the crushed pearl looks on old Rickenbackers.. stunning feature. It looks so different that I was really blown away the first time I saw a guitar that had them in person.

Re: Favorite Rickenbacker Color ?
Montzeuma Browns are really pretty in person.
I used to really like Fireglo, but I think I've become partial to Mapleglo recently after being surrounded by beautiful ones lately (not mine, unfortunately..).

Re: Strings for a Rick 12
Please share your experiences with the Mangans. I'm really curious to hear if/how they are different from the stock Rickenbacker strings. (BTW, I am a very happy user of TI flats on my Rick360/12.) Will do. So many options to explore here -- I probably change strings more often than is necessary bu...

Re: Strings for a Rick 12
Hm, interesting. I have a set of Rickenbacker strings just sitting around but after reading this thread and doing some research, I think I'll try and find some Mangans next.

Re: Johnny Marr's Rickenbacker mystery... solved?
You can listen to some of the multi-tracks from Stop Me here . Wow. Thank you so much for posting this. Fascinating to listen to and this will be really helpful to learn the song from (which I now intend to do, ha). I'd be really interested to hear the ones for This Charming Man if they ever pop up...

Wow. Nice detective work.
That is a beautiful guitar. I can't wait to read his book.
