New Guy, First Ric

Post by GrayH »

Hi All

Last week I bought a Rick 325, early 90s model. Wanted one since my teenage years (oddly enough, that covered the early 90s..), but never thought I would get on with the short scale. But when this came up locally for a really good price I had to act. These are great fun guitars! Love the chuggy sound for rhythm playing, and isn't too shabby for lead either. Although I would be unlikely to want one as my only guitar..

Hope to talk more now I've said hello

Glad you're getting on well with the 325. I always say that Rickenbacker guitars are their own unique animal; you have to get used to their quirks, because they're not going to get used to you, but in the end, the effort is worth it.

I have been jamming casually with another guitarist lately. Last week, I brought one of my Rick 330s. He had never played a Rickenbacker guitar before and was suitable impressed.

Welcome! Congrats on the 325… Those Guitars worked very well for the 2 Johns. Lennon & Fogerty.. They did some Iconic Rhythms & Leads on them..

i still want to add one to my Ric 360 & 360 12 string…
