Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Thanks for all the replies! I feel very welcome

I've decided on a 330, and I'm getting psyched! I found one in the Sam Ash in Las Vegas, plugged it in the same amp I have at home, and tried it. I couldn't stop playing! My parents had to drag me out of the store. That is what sold me on a Ric. Now I've decided the 330 is the one for me. I'll post pics as soon as I get it, but eta looks to be about February.

Haha nice! I definitely see what you mean here. Before I had a Rick at home waiting for me it was always the parents, the girlfriend, or the guitar store owner that would have to haul me out.
Congrats on the 330! They are great guitars!

Wow, two members who are closest to my age. Nice! Hope you guys are around awhile. (Ivan, we're not alone anymore!)

Another place to find the Ric you're looking for, Marc, is here. That's where I bought my two Rics...and I still have them.

Cool. Yeah I've still got to save up money, but I'll look around and see if anyone is selling a Fireglo 330 or 335 for the right price. I've decided that I want to get a 620 too, Jetglo and replace the pickguard with a Gold lucite type....then maybe get a Fireglo 620 with gold pickguard, then maybe a 331 LS Conversion, then maybe a 330 with a custom color......

If you hunt around for coupon codes for Musician's Friend you can get a new Rick for even less then most used ones go for. Also, Utahan to Utahan, Guitar Czar in SLC is a great place to get your rick set up and serviced. They just got a 325 in today that I played, and the guys who work there know alot about Rickenbackers.

Thanks!

You mean, which one should you get first.....

You've done well buying a 330; it has the iconic Rick shape, and classic sound.

You can not go wrong with a 330 (as the first one)!
