    Rickenbacker stylings?

    A couple of Rickenbackers might be nice additions to the line. Different looking and great sound.

    Hi Rob, Nice pair of Ric's.

    The one on the left is a 360 and on the right is a 620. Both are stereo as shark tooth inlays are usually used on stereos, with dots on monos. 620's don't seem to be too popular as most people tend to go for the semi hollow Ric's instead.

    The PBG kit one is more like a 370 perhaps? Or possibly a cut down 330?

    Rickenbacker are very hot on protecting their brand image. Anything too close to their guitar shapes and the lawyers come out.

    Yeah Simon, I have heard that.

    IMO the best thing about a Ric is how they sound, not how they look, and that is not so easy to replicate. Mind you I have longingly looked at this PBG kit numerous times wondering if I should have a crack as even a decent used 330/360 would cost around $2.5k with a new one well over $3k.

    Hmmmm, maybe one day?
