Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Hey gang,

Cancelled my order with Musiciansfriend. I am going to give my business to Chris at Pickofricks instead. I would rather give my business to a recommended resource.

Thanks for the advice,

Harry

Sloop_john_b,

So I assume Pauls work is worth the premium price? Since I am new I don't know much about Paul, but from what I can tell he is very well respected.

Thanks,

Hello all,

I am new to the forum and am trying to acquire my first Rickenbacker. I can pickup a fully restored 1981 610 for around $1400 and was curious if this is realistic. The restoration was done by Paul Wilczynski and looks amazing. I like skinner necks, I normally lay Fender Jaguars, Mustangs ...
