Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I noticed this too. They changed it pretty soon after I got my 330. Still can't bring myself to take it off. Maybe it's not cool to keep it on, but it's a particular point of pride and respect for me. I don't think people who actually play gigs keep it on, so maybe if I ever do a live show...

Yep. "You can play any kind of music on any guitar."

I checked out the Japanese Ric site and saw some of the models. Woah, expensive....but very nice ...
