Peter Buck's Rickenbacker Comments

"I've used my black 360 Rick on every record we've ever done," says Peter Buck of REM. "It's my main guitar; I bought it new, beat it up, splattered blood on it and now it's MY guitar. You play a guitar for ten years and it's almost part of you."

"When I first started playing I used to buy by color: what do you have in black guitars? They'd pull out five and I would pick one out. I was just lucky enough to stumble on a Rickenbacker."
