Skite!

In all seriousness, extremely cool collection. I'm loving the "F"s in particular.

I own RIC 9 guitars or basses and two RIC amps - they are all in the register. (So I am one of 4).

When I first joined this forum i only had two!

I also own 4 Ovations, an Epiphone, a Larivee, a National a Hofner 500/1 and a vintage Framus archtop...

I am willing to bet John Hall is the guy who owns 500 Rickenbackers...

I currently own 4 Rickenbackers, a '67 335, '66 365, 360/12 CW and a 360/12 c63. Two of them are in the register.

I also own a Gretsch 6119, a Gibson 335 CRR and 335/12, a Fender Jazzmaster, VI and Jaguar Bass.

You sold a truly heavy metal instrument and bought a Rick with the money?

The 610 takes up substantially less room than the vibraphone, and is much lighter on a strap!

Room for more Ricks, then.

I just bought my first Rickenbacker, a mint 2009 360/12C63, but I can see at least two more in my future (381V69 and a Susanna Hoffs Limited Edition 6 string)

I also own a few more guitars as well:

- Fender 52 AVRI Telecaster
- Epiphone Dot (very rare blueburst color)
- Squire FSR CV Stratocaster (surf green)
- Fender T-Bucket accoustic bass
- Yamaha 6 string accoustic

I'm pretty sure that drugs are a cheaper addiction to have than guitars!!

It's not just the guitars either - there's all the peripheral stuff that you need, for example: straps.

Now Ethos straps may not necessarily be the cheapest around, but they're verrrrrry nice! And extremely comfortable when compared with the authentic but rather utilitarian Rick strap. And (of course) I need one for each Rick...

Then there's picks...

I have 21 Rics

I have two. I'm working on acquiring a third.

Had in total about 9 never at the one time im at 6 at the moment

1997
4003
330x2

I currently own two: a 1991 330/12 and a 2012 360/12c63. Each one fills a separate niche.

I also own a Fender Stevie Ray Vaughan Signature model Stratocaster, a Guild X-170 archtop, a PRS SE Tremonti, an Ovation Pinnacle, and an Alvarez acoustic 12-string.

I've owned the following:
2003 360/12
1991 660/12TP Petty
1998 1997
1989 1998/1997 SPC
1987 360/12V64
1986 1997

I still have the final two

I also have a 2007 AVRI '62 Strat, 2002 MIM Classic Series Tele, 2011 Gretsch Tennessean '63 reissue and a 2011 Martin OOOX1AE (gift from the widow of a blues purist who was close to my family).

Out of curiosity, do the guitars sound different from one another?

One has a centre block and the other is X-braced, so yeah.

Yes, the two sound totally different. My 330/12, run through a JangleBox JB2 and into my solid state Fender Princeton Chorus amp, really approaches those early Roger McGuinn tones. But the C63 (even with the bridge cap removed) sounded much too harsh when played through the same rig. (I originally thought this might have something to do with the lower impedance of the neck pickup, that is until I had the same experience with just the bridge pickup selected.) I currently prefer the sound of the C63 plugged directly into the Top Boost channel of my AC15C1. As you would expect, it really delivers those George Harrison ("A Hard Day's Night") sounds.
