It's actually white

Post by wittyair »

I don't think I've ever seen an absolute white Rickenbacker like this with no yellowing or
any discoloration. It's actually quite striking.

Love the white, but I'm not keen on the black hardware.

I'd have everything chrome with a white pick guard and TRC. MMmmmmmmmm. :lol:

Great aquisition though. :)

Like icing on a cake. Tight score, brah. Where DO you locate your guitars, man? Props comin' your way.......Goofyfoot.
Play on, pick often, jam with any Rickenbacker, and prosper.

haha, I'd take it even further- double bound....with really 'naff gold binding, ie. White Falcon style. and gold hardware! (and 21 frets, no soundhole binding).

White is pretty cool.

Ya know Collin......that's almost exactly what I was thinking. I think it's a bit ambitious to think about changing the
binding but I've got some gold plastic on the way and we'll see how that looks. If that looks pretty good, then we'll
start looking for the gold hardware. A white Gretschenbacker 360 Falcon!!

haha, yeah. It's probably not the best guitar to do it on. Save the idea for a total project!

Some people scoff at the "tacky ostentatiousness" of the white falcon style deal.....but maybe I'm just that kind of guy! Totally over-the-top, I love it.
