[url="http://www.myspace.com/longfellowguitars"]METAL GUITAR MAN[/url] Yeah I've played one of his telecasters, top guitars.. I'm still waiting on a quote, I should imagine it's going to be around 6/700. I'm torn though. I don't know wether I want a Rickenbacker shape or a Gretsch singlecut shape. [url="http://www.myspace.com/foreignlegionpunk"]My Band[/url] That's the link to my bands page, there's music on there. Let me know which style you think would suit best. Cheers

he hasn't made one yet, I'm enquiring about it though. can't see it being a problem since he's done a lot of different shapes

[quote]Why don't you 'lotsnipe' it? [/quote] I could do, then again I've found a bloke who custom makes guitars and basses from metal. So I might just get myself a Metalbacker instead. It'll cost less than the Ricky and I'll like it more for being individual.

Yeah, to be honest despite the lack of bridge cover and the bolt on neck it's gonna be fine for me. I want a Rickenfaker workhorse, the bridge cover would get in the way of my playing

That's the thing. I REALLY want a Rickenfaker but I don't want to go overboard. Really I wanna be looking at £350 at a stretch. Thing is I know the bidding will likely get crazy in the last day or two of the auction. What's intensly annoying is I won't be at home to bid in the last day because I'm gigging in Hungary. Just typical of my luck really, nothing for a while then as soon as one pops up I'm not here to bid

How much are those Hondos worth realistically? I don't want to go overboard haha

Anyone got a faker on here for sale?

The Rickenbacker police have taken it away. No suprise there

That last one was without a doubt the most stunning copy I've seen yet. I love the finish. And for the record. Anyone willing to spend that kinda money on an instrument that's so unversatile is a fool. How does Rickenbacker think they're going to attract younger musicians? Your average young guitarist isn't gonna spend a couple of hundred on a Rick when they can get a more versatile Fender or Gibson or whatever for less.

Yeah, I spotted that earlier in the week. I thought HOW MUCH?? I found another Greco on an Aussie site - wanted the best of £900 for it with the currency converted. Silly silly money. I would say I'd buy a real one sooner... however I have a moral hate of John Hall for his supreme lack of business sense. Every company no matter how prestigious has to have entry level products, especially now with todays consumer society. Why not join the competitors in having an import series? It didn't do Gretsch any harm!

I hope so, my summer job is making me gas for one!

Is it just me or hasn't there been a decent Rickenbugger on ebay for weeks?

It doesn't matter what it is... it's an absolutely pants copy.

The most unconvincing one I've seen yet [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-BASS-GUITAR-RICKY-COPY_W0QQitemZ300233448095QQihZ020QQcategoryZ4713QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]Rickensh*tt*r[/url]

I REALLY need to keep my eyes on the prize, that's another copy I've missed lol

I am indeed. I'm a huge Manics fan hence the leopard print. I've also got a white Les Paul Custom (being primarily a guitarist). That Italia is a nice solid bit of kit, lovely sound, comfortable to play and hold up nicely (some idiot splashed a pint over me when I was giging not long back and it was unphased)

I actually like the pickup appointment on that. Colours not to my taste tho, baby pink is a bit TOO girly for me... this coming from a person who owns these arguably girly instruments:

You're a lucky one. I love Rickenfakers anyway but one in an alternative colour like that, yummy. I'd love one in pinkburst

Not strictly ebay but I saw this picture on another forum. A GREENBURST copy from the 70s I need to change my underwear!

I could also do with some since I'm a tea totaler lol
