Unlike Jsett, I am a Beatles fan. Liking this thing more and more, although I definitely don’t need a guitar like this.

It’s pretty, even without the missing scratch plate

It’s bloody growing on me. Super handy to play unplugged & it’s just so cool looking compared to my solid body guitars.

I need to recoup some money on the guitars I impulse bought at the auction. So irony of ironies, going to sell my Beatles vinyl collection boxset instead, which would let me maybe keep the casino…

Nice looking thing. I like a trapeze tailpiece.

I was trying to capture the insane checking in the new Ric this morning, you can see it here:

It's like this all over the guitar. From what I've read the Rickenbacker finishes are supposed to be very durable so heaven knows what happened to this one. I did find a thread somewhere where a couple of people had 08/09 Ric's that had done the same so maybe it was a varnish batch thing. Either way, I'm not opposed, but I'm sure all the Ric nerds (and they are really a different breed if their forums are anything to go by!) would absolutely hate it as they seem to like things pristine.

Absolutely adore mine. Bone stock 2017 Chinese made one. I got lucky with the stock P90s, they measure right around 9kohm I believe. I find the tone of the Casino is always correct regardless of what I play. It’s never shrill or too woof-y, always sits right in the sweet spot.

I’ve gotten used to its unusual neck shape, how do you find the profile on that one? Mine is shaped like almost like a classical, flat/very thin with almost a square-ish shape.

Here's my 2004 Amberglo 360/12... I sold it during tough financial times :-(

I vow to find a six string version and swap the white guards for gold, I usually hate gold anything but this worked.

Nice. I'd expect that of a 44 year old guitar though. Looks fun
