No disrespect intended, but if you don't own a Rickenbacker, don't want a Rickenbacker, why are you on a Rickenbacker site? Just curious.

I like that Rickenbacker approach of 'always leave'em wanting more'......

I've owned quite a few Rickenbackers over the years, and most of the models too. My first was a 370/12WB which was beautiful but unplayable to me. I've had a few different 330's and 340's, 360's and 370's, a 370/12 and a 660/12. I also had a 381/6 as well. I haven't kept any of them for various reasons that most people complain about with Rickenbackers - the necks or string spacing are too narrow, the frets are too small and so on. Maybe its just that Rickenbackers, despite how much I like the aesthetics, just aren't a good playing match for me. I have 2 more Rickenbackers I might try out - something from the 650 series or maybe a 330 that's been refretted. That's why I'm not sure if I'll get another. I just want one that works for me and haven't been able to find it yet.

It's nice knowing you have a Rick on order. Something very special to look forward to.
