Satin Finish Rickenbacker?
So I'd seen the walnut finish Ric 330s with the unfinished Maple Necks and was pretty intruiged, but still wasn't totally behind the color choice. Then this beauty came out... http://www.andybabiuksfabgear.com/ricke ... tte-black/
Now if my eyes are telling me correctly, that looks like a ric without the lacquer finish on the neck, and if THAT's the case, then we might suddenly have a Ric I can work with.
So I dunno, anyone seen these and tried 'em out yet? Alternately, are you a Ric purist and think this is the devil? Speak!

I'm not a Ric purist but I have a Ric and I think that's fucking great looking. I don't mind the gloss on the 330 that I have, though.

Re: Satin Finish Rickenbacker?
Oh! That's right up my alley
The best thing about matte guitars; is the way that over time, they polish up from playing. Almost like reverse-aging?
Anyway - love it on the 330! I hadn't seen it on those - but they did release some 4003s (I believe) that were matte and totally blacked-out.
I think it was on their Instagram feed...?

Re: Satin Finish Rickenbacker?
I only buy/own satin-finished guitars, so I am probably biased when I say this looks amazing. The black might make it a fingerprint magnet though? In any case, I'd encourage you to go for it!

Nono, guys...
you're supposed to eat fried chicken and not wash your hands AFTER you play guitar.

Great looking guitar.
But I'm confused with the OP - the neck on that guitar is finished.

Re: Satin Finish Rickenbacker?
I had a gloss JetGlo 360 that I bought new about 8 or 9 years ago. Every single place where a finger touched it resulted in a mark that wouldn't ever clean up. I've never seen anything quite like it, at least on a modern finish. It sure did play nicely though. I've had about 4 Ricks and I've loved them all but I just couldn't make them work for me. I've accepted the fact that I am a dyed in the wool Jaguar player.cestlamort wrote: ↑Thu Jun 14, 2018 6:12 amI think I got fingerprints on it already by clicking the link.

Couldn't resist, ordered one of the matte black ones that was on sale on Reverb for the same price as a good used 330. I've been setting aside money for a Les Paul of some kind but I haven't found anything I liked so... right turn.

Re: Satin Finish Rickenbacker?
Would be curious to hear what you think of it!
I dunno man, are you sure? Doesn't look like it to me. I can't really find literature either way, but it seems way less shiny than the necks on the regular 330s.InLimbo wrote: ↑Thu Jun 14, 2018 8:25 amMy thoughts exactly!
