Re: Rickenbacker "emergency" sale
Peter, sorry to hear you have to part with one of your Ricks. It depends on what stuff you are playing these days. You have that "Trio" of shortscales. And you just purchased that MID 660-12, wonderful guitar ! If I was in your place I would part with one of the shortscales and keep the 660-12. But that's only my two cents...

Re: Rickenbacker "emergency" sale
So sorry to hear of your troubles. As you say, the 660/12 is still in production and that's something to keep in mind. Also, sometimes you can have a real connection with a certain guitar that has nothing to do with its resale value or collectability; it's just the one.
Another way is to leave it up to fate. Put them both up for sale. As soon as one sells, stop the sale on the one that's left and keep it.

I'd keep the 660/12. That's just MY two cents!
Re: Rickenbacker "emergency" sale
Easier to replace the 660-12 at a later date.
Re: Rickenbacker "emergency" sale
One more thing to consider is this, do you have any other valuables to sell that will bring in the money you need? If there are other things that you could do without, maybe you could figure out a way to keep your guitars.
In any event, I hope your money troubles are resolved quickly.

Re: Rickenbacker "emergency" sale
Peter, hearing you talk your roots and commitment seem to go deeper with the 325C58s than the 660/12.
For sentimental reasons I would hold on to the Lennon guitars and let the 660/12 go.
As things stand now, you can always get another 660/12 should you decide at a later date.

Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Re: Rickenbacker "emergency" sale
Some of the RRF members here suffering from the serious form of RAS even considered to sell one kidney before they'd part with a Rick ! And then there would be enough money left for another Rick...Clint wrote:One more thing to consider is this, do you have any other valuables to sell that will bring in the money you need?

Hi Alex,
Ah ! Organtransplantation could be the solution, blood donation etc.. But you must know that i am physician, and I know that donation of a hundred gallons of blood will take a lot of time and is , believe me , very, very unhealthy. )
I just started to give some bridges and my Vox Python Strap into the bay and then wait. I still have some time and do not need the money tomorrow.
After this I have a non Rick 12 string acoustic from Art and Lutherie to sell, not very pricey but o.k.. It is just to please my wife and having the will to reduce my inventory.
