Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

As we all know....photos just dont do Rickenbackers justice.....but it's worth a try.
This thing is AMAZING!!!!!

OMG its the closest thing to guitar heaven ,Craig you are one lucky guy everyone on the forum is Seagreenglo!What a stunner hope you enjoy it as much as everyone here does! Nice one mate....














*******!!!

PS It looks as tho it can grind some serious metallic tones. I imagine it to sound like someone throwing gravel into a tin bath with the most pleasing overtones!Id love to hear that there guitar in overdrive i bet it sounds awesome!













*******!

Craig, man, you gotta bring 'em out in the sun!

Cooooooooool....

Welcome to the very exclusive Purpleburst club!

Glad you are pleased with it, Craig!

I just LOVE that colour. Is it as lovely in person as it looks in the photos. I would have loved to have that!

Congrats Craig!

It really is more lovely in person.....I didn't expect what I got from the ebay pictures.
I mean, I expected a wonderful, beautiful guitar but it really is so much more. To
paraphrase goofyfoot....it is sublime!!! I'll try to get it out in the daylight ( after it quits raining here )
to get a better shot but I'm afraid you all are just going to have to come to Asheville to see it up close.

I'm happy that you're happy with it! It's a tough one to capture in pics because it changes color in different light. It was also a bear to paint Enjoy!

Do you ever get to the Charlotte Guitar Show Craig?? I would love to see it!

Sarah.....I have not been to the Charlotte guitar show but that can easily change!
When is it?? I'd love to go.

The Show is 23rd and 24th August. It is the Bee 3 Vintage Show. http://www.bee3vintage.com/ I went last year and bought my 360 MG, but they had hardly any Ricks. In total I think there were 3 6 strings and about 4 12 strings. Lots and lots of very expensive Gibsons and Fenders with some other really interesting stuff too. I had the greatest time last year and made some fantastic new friends, so I am not missing out on the fun this year!

I am going to meet up with some friends there so come and have a beer with us! The purple 350 is very welcome too!!

I will be there.....with my purple 350!
I went to the Bee 3 show in Spartanburg SC a couple months back.....same thing, a few way over priced Rics and
lots more way over priced Gibson,Fender,Gretsch,etc. It seems as if they are venues more for dealers than anything else.
A place for the locals to bring out that guitar from under the bed and turn it into cash. Maybe if we got a table, we could get offered some interesting Rics.

I have heard that remark before and it is true. A couple of friends of mine are dealers and they are good people to know!!

I am able to go on the Friday as I am helping one friend out who has a shop in Denmark Street in London.

I couldn't go to Spartenberg as I had to be back at work. Honestly, this thing called work really gets in the way of things. But then again, I couldn't go if it wasn't for work!
