QUOTE (Déjà vu @ Jul 11 2342, 09:16 PM) I've seen a few for around half-a-grand. I kinda liked them actually. I think they were marked down so much because an earthquake made the stand fall down and they got pretty dinged up. They had some repair work... But, other than that they still played and sounded good (which is all I really care about). Usually when I have seen them they are upwards of $1500 going up to Hers a list of their guitars from price high to low. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/navigation/...mp;Ns=P_Price|1 This post has been edited by swingline: Jul 12 2008, 07:00 AM -------------------- --------------------  The Gear: Jackson Dinky 2M Snow White Line 6 Spider III 75 watt Line 6 FBV Express Foot Controller |

Sorry, nevermind! Definitely not rickenbackers. I went on their site to correct myself, I was thinking of Italia guitars... They looked similar to me at the time... Thanks for the correction mate  !

Since they are out of production, these guitars cost quite a bit, specially mint quality that became collectors items. Rarely you will see somebody play it live, only big stars. Often it is used only in studios, as wear from the stage would ruin them.

Are they out of production?
Not all of them, because here's their homepage: http://www.rickenbacker.com/
-------------------- QUOTE ("Steve Vai") Start by playing something - a bend, a riff, a scale, a song - very slowly; if you make a mistake, start over; do this over and over, until you can play it flawlessly - and I do mean flawlessly - many times in a row. Next, gradually increase the tempo. Eventually you'll be flailing like a madman. |
