Which Rick should I keep?

I have 3 Rickenbackers and I really don't think I can keep them all because of some new expenses(braces for my son)so I have to decide which one to keep:My 2005 330FG/12,my 1983 620FG/6 or my 1999 1997FG/6.I love them all but I can't keep them all.Which would you pick if one of these was to be your only Rick?

You know, I grew up with crooked teeth, and it hasn't killed me...

Sorry to hear this Mitch. If selling your son is totaly out of the question, I would keep the 1997 (unless you want to sell it to me!). It is a classic Ric with a classic sound.

I recently decided to thin my heard & sorted three gtrs that had to go. I have had severe second thoughts & have decided to swap two for two other Rics & keep the third....job done!

If all things were equal (no sentimental value or anything) I'd keep the 1997, then the 330/12 then the 620/6.

1997. But repaint it Turquoise.

Repaint! The End Of The World is near!

Could I get a picture of you holding that sign, dressed in your magician's robes, for my website?

I pretty much agree with Ethan.

Firstly, if you've got 2, ONE of them should be a 12-er, so that's your 330/12 safe.

Secondly, choosing between your 6 stringers is just toooo easy Mitch.

And you know it

Mitch so you will be selling your 620/FG 6 then? That's too bad. No other valuables that you can dump first?

I would sell my amps before my guitars. You can always replace an amp (unless it is something like a 60's AC30). Good luck. Keep us posted on your decision.

Repaint your son turquoise if you must, but leave that poor guitar alone!

I would say keep the 1997, followed closely by the 12 string....for obvious reasons. Its never easy to part with loved ones

Mitch, is it possible to get a better payment plan from the dentist? if not, find another guy who will work with you. I just went thru this with my daughter.

Any dentists on the Forum?

I take that back, they'd want the 1997, then the 12, then the 620, then...

I hear that 'souls' are skyrocketing in value these days (wars, disasters, etc). Thought about selling yours, Mitch? You seem like a pretty good bloke - I bet it would pull a handsome price!!

Such a shame to break up the collection.......
