Famous Players Rickenbacker and Gretsch

[kt66]

Played Ricks since 87, bought my first Gretsch
this year, a G5420T, made in Taiwan, but
superbly built and not far from the Japanese
expensive versions, mind you if I was paying
Japanese Gretsch money I'd be buying a Rickenbacker!!

No where near as nice to play as my 88 340
but good fun and a relatively cheap dip in the
water.

WHEN did David Crosby, OR Neil Young ever play Rics?????

[electrofaro]

Crosby? Got to be kidding...

[Lefty4003S8]

Crosby? Got to be kidding...

OK......that's the FIRST time I've ever seen Crosby with a Ric. I stand corrected!!!!

After party? Is that considered playing?

Bruce doesn't buy into that!

Well, that's STRIKE TWO for me

I bet that Ric doesn't even belong to Neil

Didn't that guy in My Bloody Valentine use both?

Seeing as we've revived this thread... slightly!... I'll just point out that 'that guy' Kevin Shields played Fender Jazzmasters primarily with a bit of Jaguar.

Peter Buck apparently has a Gretsch, maybe seen in this video

He used to get one out during live shows in the later decades for one song or so. It can be seen on the live DVDs from the noughties.
