John Fogerty and Rickenbacker guitars

That's quite a shame then isn't it. Something must have gone wrong with the relationship it seems. Maybe something will get worked out in the future, I hope so, John F. would be great to have endorse Ricks again - JMO.

I'm reasonably sure there won't be a Martin Fogerty model either. I watched him smash a D-28 (I think) to bits after getting PO'd that it broke a string during "Who'll Stop The Rain". It was at Little Rock, Arkansas' Riverfront Amphitheatre about 8 or 9 years ago. He seemed ****** that he had 2 or 3 wireless units on, and couldn't get untangled to change guitars. He walked back behind the amps after the song and smashed it!

Oops. Never thought this guy was that emotional!

JF was on Austin City Limits yesterday, a re-broadcast from 2004. No RIC. He looked amazingly young, and played and sang his heart out. Noticed his black LP Custom was tuned down to D vice E.

If you wanna hear some Classic CCR tones just hook up your Ric to a Kustom. I have a Ric 360 and seven Kustom's. The tone is there as soon as you crank one up to four or so. Amazing!

I found that when I switched to the bridge pickup on my 330 Ruby and cranked the bass control all the way up on my recent Kustom 36 Coupe, the sound was distinctly Who-like. Kustoms rock!
