Well I am intrigued... Did Lemmy make some kind of uncomplimentary remark about Rickenbacker perhaps?johnhall wrote: It was intended for a member of the Motorhead organization but . . . circumstances made me reconsider accomodating them.
Given we have loyal customers currently stacked up 18-24 months for product we already have in production, what would be the business logic of making another model that would backlog things further?k43rover wrote:I can fully understand why you'd make this comment with regard to a Capri reissue John. Clearly seems like a big job to me.
However, to swap the slash hole jig to an f-hole and use a C63 unbound neck with dot inlays (presumably less work than a bound neck with triangle inlays) would actually produce a 1993 reissue with no extra work/cost (and arguably less for the reason I mentioned) over a 360/12C63. It seems many of your loyal customers are waiting to buy one of these guitars. Perhaps you'd care to give your considered business judgement on that one.
I listen to Motorhead a lot and have an LK. You can give to me instead. I'm much nicer......johnhall wrote:Old body wings on an old neck. Nothing new there. It was intended for a member of the Motorhead organization but . . . circumstances made me reconsider accomodating them.

That doesn't mean it wouldn't be a cool instrument but I can think of a dozen other reissues and clean sheet designs which are just as deserving.

I'm not sure if they ever made a tub bass, but back around 1935-36 they made these:s4001 wrote:Don't forget the giant tub bass!paologregorio wrote:You guys are all whacked; the next three Rick reissues will be the banjoline, the aluminum violin, and the frying pan.
