Gawd I wish Rickenbacker made a SOLIDBODY 350!

Just like the 650 but with the body of a 350.

I'd buy one in a heart beat.

Dang.....

I got mine used for under a grand. The newer ones use a different headstock.

That's funny, I'd-a sworn I saw a couple of Chandler 555s on ebay last week, new, with a BIN of like $350.

Those Chandlers are actually pretty nice. I think that headstock is kinda cool. They even used to be fairly reasonably priced. The only serious problem with them is that when I tried them out I kept thinking "well, for a few more bucks I could have a real Rickenbacker." Now even that point is moot. I don't know what happened to their pricing structure since then (ten years ago, or so, I could have had one for $600-700 new.)

Consider it done.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm
