Not worth the price

| Review By: Poor Quality RIC | 1 year, 2 months ago

2 people out of 4 found this review helpful

Features:

Overall:
This guitar was terrible.  It sounds thin and has very high action which couldn't be corrected because of the way the neck was glued to the body.  Which brings me to the next problem.  The guitar wasn't assembled correctly at the factory.  RIC refused to acknowledge their part in putting this together incorrectly. Shoddy workmanship for an overpriced, thin sounding, high-action guitar equals disaster.  An entry level Fender is made better. I'll NEVER buy another ric product again.

Best Made Guitar

I have two Ric and I must say there is nothing out there that will come close to a Ric.  Gibson and Fenders and all other guitars made should go to the Rickenbacker Company and see how they make guitars, They are just built to a T.  Never no flaws or adjusting the guitar.  I have a few custom Gibson and I wish I would have not toss my money away on the Gibson and bought more Rickenbacker.  For those  thinking about buying a  Ric over other guitars BUY the RIC money well spent and never be sorry down the road on you new RIC.

Just received my 381V69 Rickenbacker and yes it did take forever to get here, but it is absolutely beautiful and plays/sounds great.  I looked at and played lot of guitars over the holidays and none are as well made or sound as great as this Rickenbacker.  Bottom line-a great guitar.  It is definitely a piece of art.

Rickenbacker 381v69 - Top of the Line Archtop

Overall:
I just received my Rickenbacker 381v69 in the beautiful Jetglo finish and it is truly a work of art.  It took 21 months, but was well worth the wait.  The finish is perfect and the build quality is excellent. This is  a stereo guitar and has lots of tonal  options. Great for Rock, Blues Jazz or pop music, particularly as a rhythm guitar.  The case is a gorgeous crushed velvet and is custom fitted to this beautiful guitar.  Why buy a more  expensive model with a more popular name, this is the top of the line in arch top electric guitars; you can't go wrong with RIC.
