Penny Lane Guestbook Archives

Comments: I've played Fenders all my life. But somewhere in the back of my mind the word 'Rickenbacker' was carved. Then a few days ago, an ad in a small newspaper. Rickenbacker 4001 for sale! Good deal! It's mine now. Straight on the internet.....and there was you with all the information I needed. Great site. Thanks!

Comments: Great site, Ricks rule

Comments: Peter,I�m proud of being a part of this site. Now we�re all waiting for "Mr. Rickenbacker" Roger McGuinn, to register his Ric�s. All the be.....nah, that�s HIS line "The Byrds never die - they just fly higher" Ken Hedloof

Comments: Great guitars providing great sounds for all the ages...

Comments: It's my baby

Comments: Great site. I like to sell my 4005 bass. If anyone's interested, please contact me. Plays wonderfully and is in fine shape.

Comments: Will be trying to date/appraise this instrument in the near future with YOUR HELP! I have had it since 1972. It is in excellent condition. Will get back to you when I have all the #s off the instrument. It is black lacquer finish. Get back to you as soon as I have time. Thanks, Gene Dunn

Comments: Congratulations to the first 1000!! Bj�rn

Comments: Guys- I've looked around the Internet before for Rick stuff, but your site is by far the best, and the most obsessive. You should clearly seek professional help. Extra points are due for the Penny Lane guestbook. It's got the kind of whimsical connectivity that appeals to me. I've been buying and collecting Rickenbacker guitars since 1979, so I guess that explains why I own so many (I'll need to count them but I think I've got ten or twelve). In the seventies, when I went looking for my first one, they were very difficult to find. Now they're back in fashion, but for a time Rick dealers only handled the basses. My first Rick was a '64 325 FG, but most of the hardware was changed out and the finish stripped and covered with clear so that looked MG. I took it apart for the pieces (as the body was badly cracked). I later smashed it ala Pete Townshend on a wall just to hear it explode. It sounded great! When I get a few moments, I'll get my guitars added to the registry. Congrats on a nice site.

Comments: Have been a Ric fan for years, but have only in the past year been able to "feed the need". Am a "luthier in training" as a hobby / second career when I retir

Comments: Hi You need to add Greg Kihn to your artists list. He almost always played a 360/12 Mapleglow in the studio and on stage when I saw him in the 70's/80's. The guitar is is prominately pictured on the back of his third album "Next of Kihn" as he waits to take the stage Thanks Tom

Comments: I've been playing this lovely bass for over eight years now and every day I find a new sound or a new way of getting the best out of it. It is a forgiving and hardworking instrument: no matter how I play it, the sound is there. In short: I am in love! Thanks to Peter Hook for getting me "hooked" :) on this bass. And now I will have to go and find a tissue or something 'cos it seems I've been drooling over the keyboard whilst looking at the lovely pics of Rickenbacker basses. Deary, deary me...

Comments: Glad I found this site. Am interested in hearing from any BD6 owners

Comments: This site gets better an better. Thanks for the hard work.

Comments: I�m so excited. Soon there�ll 1000 registrations. Your page is great!

Comments: ive been playing guitar for over 30 years.....ive never found any guitars like my ric's. SUPERB..OUTSTANDING..OVERWHELMING..THE BEST I EVER OWNED.. THANK YOU ADOLF

Comments: listen to my new single on mp3.com it features my 330 it's called one hit wonder

Comments: I love my Ric. This is actually my second Rickenbacker.The first one I owned was a 1986 320 but it was stolen. Good thing I had replacement insurance. I ended with a John Lennon Ltd. Edition 355JL because this was the only Ric available in the city as a replacement. But, you never forget your first love and that was the 320, man I'm still mad that it was stolen and that was 8 years ago. Greetings from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Comments: Peter! I just love your site. It�s a wonderful place for any Rickenbacker fan. Thanks for doing such a great work for us all to see. :-) Bj�rn

Comments: Let's face it, Rics' are the greatest! I use mine constantly. The "370" was a 360 and is now the most versitile instrument I have ever played. It can accieve any sound with its 3 Ric HB coil-fade wiring. It was customized by Dan Altilio. The 330/12 is a crazy trans purple that screamed BUY ME! so I did, and got a great lead sound! I don't know much about the Lap Steel but I've heard that 71 is the last year sold. I play lead guitar in a couple of bands somewhat like a melange of King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa and Thelonius Monk (pretty darn wierd). I will send Pictures of my beloved Ricks! Oh, I play 2 guitars at the same time and am constantly searching for a Rick 362/12 twin-neck.

Comments: Excellent site, Peter - I've had it bookmarked for some time now! A wealth of information for the Rickenbacker community out there to sift through, to feed the addiction. Thanks for all your effort. More great work from the Great White North!

Comments: CAN ANYONE GIVE ME INFO ON MANUFACTURING DATES FOR THE RG-7 AMPLIFIER (1-12 NO TREMOLO) THIS THING WAILS!!! THANKS!!!!

Comments: Interesting stuff about great guitars! I am the second owner of my machine and have enjoyed it since 1979. It is a natural maple finish with Earnie Ball Custom flatwounds thru a Peavey TNT 130 amp.

Comments: To believe... I've visited this site countless times. Registered my Ric... I'm even quoted in the Quotations page! And I never signed your guestbook! This site is eaisly one of the best Ric-related sites.

Comments: Awesome site, thanks for letting me wet my pants!!!

Comments: Love the site and Rickenbackers!

Comments: Rhis is a great website...

Comments: hi just thought i'd sign into your registry with a rickenbacker i've got. its a 330/12 and according to production figures i've seen on other pages and serial number charts it was made in Feb 1965 and its serial is EB154. According to the production charts I saw on one website, it was one of only 22 made in 1965 but i find this hard to believe. Anyway, i'm in Perth Western Australia. cheers Rick Mason

Comments: Hey Peter! The Guestbook is a nice addition to the web page. And to echo John Williams' comments, thanks for this site as well as alt.guitar.rickenbacker. The entire RIC community has benefited much from your efforts. Maybe a Peter McCormack Signature Model would serve as a just reward. Good luck with mastering the 213! CHORDially, Andrew S. Registrations: #43 and #403.

Comments: I have a 1991 330 blond. I had to travel all the way from South Africa to England to buy it because the so called agent (Pretoria Organ Center) Could not produce the goods. Rickenbackers are very rare here in deepest, darkest Africa. Almost without fail somebody comes up to me at gigs and admires or makes me an offer. FORGET IT.....

Comments: Very nice site. Some wonderful Rickys to look at. Only one 381 and that was the 381JK. I've got a '92 381V69 in FG and I've drooled over some NICE MGs as well. Great sound and great to look at.

Comments: I love my rickenbackers, a 1982 4003 and a 1968 semi acoustic. One of a kind sound and playability.

Comments: Peter, what else can I say?! Thanks for Alt.guitar.rickenbacker and The Rickenbacker Registration Page. You've done your part in bringing a lot of the Rickenbacker faithful together. Don't stop now! :-) John Williams
