What Model Is This?

Post by spike »

It looks like a Model 260, but the 260 has gold hardware and knobs.

Well, it's certainly not a typical Ric in looks or sound.... I think mine wants to be a Strat! The humbuckers are really great, and can really give some crunchy sounds without getting any nasty distortion.... I'm still trying to get used to the thick feel of the neck; compared to most of my other Rics it feels like a baseball bat to me.... it feels really different anyway, as the neck is unfinished. I think it could really rock as a lead guitar, but sadly my attempts at playing leads are pretty pathetic--but it does give me something to work on, LOL! You can see more of my comments on this guitar under the thread "Humbucking Ric that kicks" posted under this section (Rickenbacker guitars) around the end of February--I'd put a link here myself, but I can't seem to make them work within the confines of the Forum!
