Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I just got off the phone with Elderly in Michigan. Ordered a 330/6, in mapleglo. THis will be my first, (heck, my first electric guitar since I was 16) so I am anxious to experience that "new smell" everybody keep talking about.

The decision process was agonizing. I thought long and hard about a 650, then decided that I'd never look back if I went with the more traditional looks & sound. At the last minute I noticed that North Coast had a burgundy 360 w/toasters for a very, very good price. Unfortunately they had not updated the website
So, back to some serious pondering on the 330 vs. 360 question and what finish. Fortunately, it's fairly difficult to make a bad choice there;)

I went with Elderly because I like to support the smaller businesses even if they might be a little pricer than the big chains. Anybody else dealt with them?

Yes, I've bought several guitars from them as well as a bunch of other stuff. No problems , they are good folks to deal with and they check every instrument before it goes out. Rick's can have a longer learning curve if you have never owner one so an expert set up to start off ( as Elderly's guys will do ) is a great beginning. Good luck and enjoy your guitar!

Never bought anything from them, but I've been to their cool store in Lansing. It's kinda a mini-Mecca for guitarists.
