Video

At least you didn’t overdo it…..

Love my nice clean patio Chris! Thanks so much!

Rambling. Gave up at 3:00.

Great video! Now you need to do one on amps lol. I got pretty lucky and got a made in America PRS S2 22 standerd used at guitar center for 950$ two years ago as my first electric guitar lol (I played acoustic for a year before that). It is an absolute beast man and you’re very right about how versatile they are. I do however disagree on your strings lol, I use d’addario 11 gauge flat wounds personally.

Wow,, I don’t understand why you bought it in the first place..

First you need to have light

Nirvana?

I cant hear him at all, but he definitely looks like he's shredding.

My personal favorite picks are my fingernails 😂

G Minor harmonic?

Mr. Chris, I've got good news for you. All your troubles are over. I'm going to take this Rickenbacker off your hands.

To be honest I’ve heard that the copies (Harley Benton, Fasley, ect) and some of the Chinese copies are just as good if not better at around $300-$500.

bueno, en gustos no hay nada escrito :)

Maybe putting a BIGSBY on helps it stay in tune. John Lennon had one on his, and John Fogerty had one on his. John Fogerty also put Grovers on his. Anyway, I thank you for the reality check.

Dude, is everything ok at home?? Something has gotta be wrong somewhere, and it's not the guitar.

Beautiful

Sounds like a you problem/skill issue

Rickenbacker called. They don't like you as well.

But you knew all that before you bought it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So why did you buy it?

I think you were playing and using it wrong. Set it to the middle position and use the blend knob to get the tone you want. Ric's are great guitars and I'm not a super fan. I just own a 12C63 and had a Lennon model.

Not me looking for a Chinese copy😆 I have always hated when I see guitars that don’t seem to cool enough for there price. Don’t get me wrong, the guitar has good history behind it (Lennon) but just because they don’t mass produce uncomfortable guitars anymore doesn’t mean they should sell it for such a big price. I am in market for a Chinese copy. I have seen enough reviews to trust it. (Enough) Because I ain’t payin almost 3000 dollars for such a small guitar!!

this is the first time i've ever heard someone describe a guitar neck as "gross", idk why that makes me giggle.

It’s a Rikkensenditbackken 🤔

The reason you not liking the rickenbacker is because Rickenbacker guitars have thin frets, a lacquered over fretboard, 24.75 scale length, and a different neck profile that tapers out different than other guitars. For a lot of people that is the reason they love them while others it is the reason people hate them. Like you in this situation. You don’t like the way it plays. You should have played one before you purchased.

You should try one that’s not a reissue, I have three I bought at Guitar Center in person, they stay in tune and play wonderfully. I do agree the old bridge looks bad, or at least not as good as the R shaped ones on mine. When I was younger I tended to play with more gain, now I use considerably less, maybe that’s why the sound suits or maybe the pickups on the reissue are different. I’m also so stubborn so maybe I forced myself to like them? lol

Why…why…why…whine….whine….why buy it?

is this a lullaby

Amazing!!! I was doing vocal runs to the rhythm, i definitely subbed ❤

Too green to have a guitar channel son.

😍

Absolutely fantastic ❤😊 have a wonderful day ❤😊

Beautiful bro..... You'll definitely get there if this is how you play....

stop talking and being like that

Keep the guitar, return this guy

If John Lennon hadn't bought that second hand Rickenbacker in Hamburg out of desperation to replace his Hofner Club 40 under conditions of limited choice and constrained funds, Rickenbacker would have faded into utter "Who?" obscurity and no one would want one today. Even as it is being of a Beatles afficionado, there is no way while gravity exists I could ever bring myself to pay AUD$6k for a Jet Glo RIck 325! Just NO. John would never have either back when they were broke before fame if he had the choice we have today.

They have a unique sound and can sound fantastic. You just can't play. IMO !!! If you could you would hear how great they are. I have one and i tis excellent.

I also had one of those Lennon 325 short scale Rickenbackers, and sold it off for the same reasons. It's like trying to play a child's toy guitar. The fretboard is small and uncomfortable. Even Lennon retired it for the Epiphone Casino.

I have a 360/12. This has been my holy grail since I was 14. (am now 71) I love it! Plays well, sounds great. Mine is a 2008, bought slightly used from someone who didn't particularly like it. Granted these are not for everyone, but if you want that 60s sound there is nothing better. I think it plays very well. I don't know if the blend knob was the best idea, but use it to my advantage. I am a drummer so only use it in the studio. (drums about 65 yrs, guitar a bit over 50 yrs) I will never let this thing go.

Sure, the guitar is over priced, but most of the complaints here are purely personal...

Demo'ing a jazz guitar with heavy gain? Oh well...

Man, thanks for the info! I'm about to buy one...

Did it also make you feel nauseous? I wouldn't be surprised if you said you were nauseous after playing it. Pass the salt, please...

This went from criticism to just whining after the first point.

bro its known as a niche unique guitar, why didnt you try before you bought or at least learn about them, they are well known as not being for everyone

I have never so quickly disliked someone.

even after this, i still want one

You must have seen the buttons lay out before you decided to shell out 3 or 4 grand. Why did you even buy it? I think Mattel still makes plastic guitars with a crank handle. Might be a better fit for you.

I can vouch for Reverend Guitars. If you’re looking for a 12 string electric the Airwave 12 is a blissfully good alternative to a Rick and for 1/3 of the price. I own a 4003sw and I’ll never buy another bass it sounds so kick ass but something about these 12 string Ricks just didn’t seem worth the price in the current electric 12 market.

DADGAD?

Next time, do your research before buying a vintage specs guitar... or... did you buy it just to make this annoying video and then return it???
