Yeah, I didn't mean the 610 or other "plain" Rickenbackers weren't 110% cool (they are), but I just feel like some of the body designs are just being done to death....
I love the 330/360/325/4003/cresting wave body shapes, but with so many other fantastic guitars in their history that are entirely different from everything else they make, such as the Capri and F-series, IMO it's a total waste to neglect reissuing them at some point.
Heck, my dream Ric is always a RM 1993, but I'd even like to see Capris or F's get reissued before that because it'd be a nice change with an entirely different kind of guitar, not the same body shape with a few minor changes.
Oh well, dreamers can dream!
just the thing for me - 610 and all the other plain/no trim solidbodies are some of the best players rics. i have huge collection of rickenbackers from early 60's all the way to modern era instruments and other makes of guitars as well and a small studio that i rent out here and there for about 5 months now and from all those bands that went through here everyone wants to try some 60's 360/12 or 370/12 and 4005 or 70's 360/12OS and 88' & 91' 360/12mcguinns or pair of 92' 660/12tp and i have right next to it 95' 610/12 and early 90's 4003s - guess what - those are the ones that get used the most -even on the recordings...and it is simple :people are not afraid of them at all, when most players come across priceless 4005 or 66' 360/12 they don't feel comfortable with it. pls. think about the fact that for many people even that cheapest modern 620/12 is just priceless guitar that they are afraid to jump around with... and here comes some plain hulk of 610 or 450..or 4003s - it plays the same but it looks like nothing special...for me it is THE winner for recent market
