Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Chicago Music Exchange strikes again!

Add Southworth Guitars to the list!

Seriously, though, it could be one of the most useful things in a forum. These guys are rip off artists charging top dollar for stuff they know is not as appears. And with the connectivity we have right here, we could protect our fellow enthusiasts from the greedy underhanded used guitar salesmen.

I wouldn't lump Chicago Music Exchange and Southworth Guitars in with Music Ground. MG is in a class of their own. There were NO Rickenbacker 325's/1996's produced in 1963. The biggest problem is behind the nut on that guitar. I would be ****** off big time if they hadn't pointed that out to me. Dispute your charge on the credit card and send it back. That way you'll only have to pay shipping one way.

I beg to differ (not on the production fact, but on who I'd trust to buy from) but that's cool.

I've dealt with both MG and CME (and know many others who have) over the years and I would have to say that "buyer beware" is a philosophy I would use religiously with each of these companies. They certainly can take advantage of any naivety or unasked questions on the buyers part!

Excellent point Ron....
