Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

A couple more

Born and raised in New York, NY, been in the Poconos in Lords Valley, PA for the last 22 years.

My first Rick is a 1973 Burgundyglo 480, which is still with me in all original shape. Got it @ Alex's music on 49th St, just down the block from guitar central on 48th street.

My second Rick is an ...

My '81 480 button high gains measured 5860 bridge 13100 neck.

My '04 650D humbuckers were 12,830 bridge 12,860 neck.

I've had only three.

I bought a '73 480 BG in 1974, my first great guitar. It was stolen in '82, and I went right out and got another, an '81 480 BG.

I also have a '04 650D; both will be with me to the end.

Here's a 480 for ya !

Says solo was done by 12 string and electric piano together - may be difficult to duplicate with only 1 guitar.

By no means am Ian expert, but here's a couple to consider

I've gigged with my 480's for over 30 years - never failed to get noticed. Actually, the 480 was the only electric guitar model I owned from '74 through '03. When I bring it out nowadays (not very often), it still elicits the oohs and aahs. My longtime drummer always tells me it's the best sounding ...
