Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

the only drawback I'm finding is that it's a bit LOUD!

Get the others to pump theirs up, Melibee...... rock that church!!

I plugged into my AC30 for the first time in months last Friday. I thought the tubes were on the way out but it seems all they needed was a rest......... sounded great!!

I like my custom Gretsch too, BTW:

More:
It seems that many Rick owners also have a Gretsch or two...... must be something fraternal.

Sweet looking it is too

Yep, you are correct, John. Thanks. It should be G6128 TSP Duo Jet. I might've been thinking about my G6120 TM Chet Atkins when I typed it. Stuck with the Duo Jet reference since the original posting referred to it. Regards....Goofyfoot.

Ric jingle-jangle + Gretsch twang = an easy ticket to ride back to the 60's.

Ya Can't beat'em both!

That's all i have ,i sold off everything else

Just Ricks and Gretsches for me

Just within the past hour, I bought my very first Gretsch to keep my Rics company. It's a 92 Country Classic II with the protective plastic still on the pickguard and Lindy Fravin pups. Should be cool.

That should read Lindy Fralin.....dont know who Lindy Fravin is.

Just today, I bought my first guitar of 2008!

A 2003 Gretsch White Falcon!

Good luck with yours Craig!

Amazing what a difference there is between the 2 brands. Sat down and played the Gretsch for a while and then moved to my 330/12......different planet!!! I'm not placing a value judgement, both are fine, fine guitars and each has it's own merits but I have 4 Ricks and 1 Gretsch for a reason.

I'm an EEP >>> Equal Opportunity Player. I split time down the middle with Gretsches and Rics. Gretsch craftsmanship and build quality by the Terada factory in Japan is equivalent to Rickenbacker. Just my dos centavos' worth. Regards....Goofyfoot.

I have 5 Gretsches and 2 Ricks

But i'm working on another 2 or 3 Ricks,
1997 and if i'm lucky 381V69

(Self-correction....sort of a "Rain Man" response.)

Uuhhh-errr, that would be EOP ~ Equal Opportunity Player. Regards....Goofyfoot {:=)

It's funny how most of us seem to dabble in both - Rickenbacker United are currently beating Gretcsh Rovers 3-2 at my place.

6120DC and 6118 Annie

I just sold my Gretsch this past week, so I would have some money to put toward a good 12-string acoustic.... Right now I'm wanting one badly--And since I can't afford my dream Comstock 12-string, I'm leaning toward a Guild, thanks to the steering of a few friends who have played them.... one of them is a Forumite who has tantalized me with some lovely pictures, LOL!

My duo jet was a cool guitar, but I hardly ever played it--but my friend Ron will be disappointed next time he comes to visit!
