Finally

Post by ricnbacker »

i went to a music store today and finally i got to put my hands on a ric guitar.
it was a 330 12 string but i got an idea of the feel.
i recently bought an epihone les paul standard plus. it is a very nice guitar and sounds sweet. well at least as sweet as a beginner can make a guitar sound. i played a few other custom epis and the ace freehley model as well as the gibson les paul.
i played 1500 dollar les pauls as well as a few that had a price tag with 3,000 on it!!!
all i can say is i liked my epiphone better, really. i can buy a gibby if i wanted to, well maybe up to 1800 bills but i see no need.
you want to know something else, i went to a gibson les paul site...those guys are snobbier than us and our rics! go figure

lol

anyways
the 330 12 i played today felt real nice.
when i get better i will definatly be getting another guitar and it WILL be a 620 or a 350

Well, darn it. Christopher, get well soon!

And try to recover your capitals while you're at it!

Hang in there, buddy!

The 330/12 is a fine instrument Christopher.

Check out some of Blue Rodeo's work done on the 330/12.

I am with Paul. I would add that if you want people to read and pay attention to your posts, proper punctuation including the appropriate use of capitals is helpful.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

The 330 is a workhorse. Lots of amazing sounds waiting inside it, my friend. You'll not find disappointment.

The classic silhouette and the classic finish = stage presence and inspiration!

Chris, if the neck and string spacing felt good to you, then that's the main thing. If not, perhaps a model 660/12 with its slightly wider neck might be more comfortable.

The 330 is THE guitar when it comes to Ricks. The mainstay, if you will. Though you're asking about the 330 it sounds as if you already have your mind made up on getting either a 620 or 350.

not exactly Stan, I would love to try out the 620 or 350 but I cannot find one in a 200 mile radius of where I live.
I got the chance to "finally" put my hands on a ric guitar the other day and it felt so good. I am a bass player, I have my 4003 but recently decided to try guitar. i like it but I cannot find a "few" rics around to try.
I bought a real nice epiphone les paul and I am really enjoying it.As a beginner a 12 string is shooting a little high i think, lol

i want to get a hand on a 620, 350 and a 6 string 330 before I make up my mind
