Do people ever actually play their Rickenbackers?

I play a 4001SLH during the 2nd set with my Beatles tribute band. www.eggmen.com
And a 4001CSLH in my original band. www.daylighttitans.com
A 4003LH serves as back-up for both.

I am getting to the point that I ONLY play Rickenbackers ... I may unload all of my non Rics ...

Interesting that Chuck's main guitar is a '66 - in a similar vein, a couple of years ago I fulfilled a longheld dream by spending the summer in the States driving a 64 1/2 Mustang round 43 of the lower 48. At one point we had stopped in Arches National Park, and a guy came up, looked at the car, looked at me, and said 'You're DRIVING it???'.

Never one for smart answer I just said 'Yes'. What I should have said, of course, was 'Yes - that's what they built it for'...
