Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Welcome to the world of Janglebox. What took you so long to come to the party? It's the compressor Byrds fans have prayed for.

I'm not surprised at all. Gear manufacturers will be doing virtual displays of new product and that's not such a bad thing. I like attending NAMM as much as anyone, but you'll avoid the crowds (especially on Saturday), the noise, the lousy food in the Civic Center and so forth.

OK, I see it.

That guitar is well worth a restoration. Good luck with it.

Its been a bad year for the Cros - diagnosed with tendonitis. He might never play guitar again. If they can all survive the virus, RM needs to relent and agree to reform and tour again.

I just spent about an hour looking over your collection on your website and am very impressed. The Rickenbackers are incredible.

Thank you, Peter. Very helpful.

Thanks.

I always have trouble just getting into this Register for some reason and I need to update some information. Can someone help?

Can someone tell me about Rickenbacker's use of the color turquoise? When were their turquoise guitars made? How may were made? Was the finish called turquoise or something else? I just want to find out what I can about this finish and its rarity.

That's the lovely deep fireglo from the late 80s - early 90s. I used to own a 1990 340/6 VP with the same coloration. Beautiful guitar, Bob...it's from Feb 1992. Thank you for clarifying that. I could have sworn the seller told me it was AutumnGlo. I see a lot of differing shades of FireGlo out the...
