Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I just listed to the link Greg recently posted to the Byrds Collective website and this time I was amazed . To me, these guys sound better than the Byrds in some ways, and although they may not have written the songs they sure in the hell do a beyond excellent job of sounding like the record ...

The sound of a Rickenbacker is formed by the acoustics of the guitar, not the pickups. This hype about toaster pickups better than high gain pickups has no audible foundation. I've been playing guitars and Rickenbackers all my life (50 years) and I don't even think twice about it being a big deal ...

They say text tabs are free but I'm not sure if the text tabs are the same as the instructional lesson. It is much ...

I've been messing around with the controls a bit lately and have found I get the best Bryds-like sound when I turn ...

Last year I bought a 2011 360 12 string and had the 12-piece saddle replacement done as soon as I got the guitar while I was having a 3rd (middle) pickup installed. When I got the guitar back it sounded terrible. I couldn't keep it in tune for more than 15 minutes and it was a total hassle to play ...
