650S Pricing

[maddogmaulucci]

Hello, First I have to say I am happy to be here on this forum, b/c my dream of owning a Ric is coming true! haha. I have a store here in ontario Canada that is selling a 650S and put it on hold for me until I can make it there this weekend. I am just wondering what the pricing should be around for the 650S, I want to make sure that I am getting a fair price since Rics don't come around this area that much and I don't want to see a huge inflated price b/c of that.

Thanks for any info!

Welcome Michael,

Where in Ontario are you? I've never seen a 650 for sale around here, but I've seen 650d's online in the US for around $1000-1100 US. Is this a new or used guitar?

[maddogmaulucci]

I am in London but the guitar is at L&Mq's in cambridge. It is new! I am so happy that he is holding it for me!!

[maddogmaulucci]

Yay!!!! I just put $500 on the guitar! and am just finishing up selling some left over equipment, so I can get the rest! soon I will be a owner of a rickenbacker!! I have dreamed of this day since 1993!

Michael: Welcome to the RickResource Forum and be sure to give us a full review when you get a chance to put it through its paces.

You know, L&M will ship any guitar in their inventory to your local shop. I found this out when I called about a 620/12. They told me it was shipped to their store in Vancouver, but there was no hold on it and they could get it to Toronto in a couple of days if I wanted.

Congrats on the purchase, btw. I bought my 330/12 from a guy in London last fall.

Congrats Michael,
Did they have any other Ricks in stock?

Congrats, Michael, and welcome. I know you're gonna love that 650S. I've got one, and it's my main guitar.

Mad Dog.....How's your 650 Sierra treating you? Play on, pick often, and prosper. Regards....Goofyfoot

Congrats Michael - it certainly sounds liked you're pumped about getting this guitar!
As a side note, the L&M in Cambridge used to be an independent shop called Murch Music that was a long time RIC dealer. Although now part of the L&M chain, I believe they still do a very good job of ordering and stocking Rickenbackers.
