The Fretboard Rickenbacker Club (NSFW)

Mine came and went. 360/6 loved the look, the quality etc etc.    Hated the skinny banjo neck.

Here are the Rics I've owned in the past

Jetglo 620/12 - sold as I didn't get on with the body shape
Fireglo 381/12 V69 - sold as it wasn't being played, made way for my Grestch G6120N (which is now for sale as I want a 360/12)
Jetglo - 330/6 - lovely guitar this, but it wasn't getting played as I'd been bitten by the Gretsch bug... That phase it now over and I realise that Rickenbackers are my one true love!

@TonyR that Jetglo 330 is lovely. 80s / early 90s?

Always wanted one of these:

Here's the 330/12 in Jetglo that I've owned from new since 1991 (IIRC). Looks just like everyone else's. Worryingly, I'm finding the body shape more and more comfortable on a guitar strap and fear I'm secretly suited to semi-acoustics.

I'm another person thinking of sanding the back of the neck a bit. It gets very sticky if you don't keep it very clean.

My FG 330-12 from 1995. Bought in Sound Control in Edinburgh after being shipped over from the Glasgow branch. Because the bloke from Wet Wet Wet apparently used to keep on buying them.

My ‘99 Fireglo 330. Perfect Fireglo imo, not bleached out or pinkish.

I’d seen a few sell in my price range that had chipped paint, missing the case etc, this one was spotless despite being almost twenty years old when I bought it.

Yep, that’s lovely

Just the one.  A JG 360-6 from 2008 (I think).  Old photos, not the greatest, but hey ho...





Used to have a MG 1993 Plus 12-string, but traded that away a few years back now.

One just like this was very firmly on my GAS list too.

Big brother, little sister... although little sister is older. '73 4001, '67 (YOB!) 450.



(Big brother now has a toaster pickup back in the neck.)


@UnclePsychosis can have the Wows for the 381, since it's his now .

I've secretly been eyeing up 620s. For a long time....

That suggests an imminent purchase

@GavRichList - It’s a 1996 model, like I said, lovely guitar it was too. 

I sold it to @paulads of this very parish - not sure if he still has it though.

Likewise, and then one came up a few weeks ago...

Please accept my resignation. I don’t want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member.

I've also done a couple of mods on on, because Rics are a but understated.

Sometimes I get a bit carried away with the Ric concept.

This faker just needed the finishing touches.
