Who here thinks...

Post by jcreasy »

the 350 v63 looks odd? Specifically the headstock, trussrod cover. Ever notice how far it extends, and how much white field there is with respect to the logo?

Standing by ready to get flamed with your replies...

The 325's and 350's have my favorite Rickenbacker shape.... So sleek and lovely, from headstock to tailpiece! I'm very pleased to have such a pretty guitar:

Pretty sure the 350 uses the same TRC as every other model that uses a plexi one.

Howdy,

Is the 350 a 320 with a 330 neck? To my eyes, the neck looks too long for the body. Still, it's Rickenbacker and therefore-gorgeous!

I've given it another serious look after the original comments here. No flames, but I don't see anything goofy about the accoutrements. It looks spectacular in blueburst. I don't tknow whether I'd want a burst or a mapleglow or a blueboy most.

I almost bought a Chandler 555 some years ago because I loved the body shape. I think the only thing that discouraged me was that it said "I bet you wish I was a real Rickenbacker" when I tried it. I did like the headstock of that one too.

The 350 still hovering toward the top of my list for standard Rickenbacker electrics I don't already have. I think I'd put Paul's Rickenbacker acoustics a little higher on my really-really-want-but-can't-do-anything-about-right-now list.

Nice set of triplets Howard.
Great photos.

I like both the 325 and the 350's and but I prefer the 350 because of the scale length.
To my eyes they're both beautiful.

I actually prefer the v63 TRC and headstock to the Liverpool model (which I have). It's how All Rickenbacker guitar TRC's and headstocks should look.

Let me compare the v63 to the Liverpoole. It just seemed to me that the point goes out past the G tuner and there is an awful lot of white in the field. I love the shape of the 350s... Just my 2 cents.

By the bye, I bought a Chandler 555 with three Seymore Duncan Humbuckers... Love it.
