Comments about Rickenbacker 381V69 Vintage Series Electric Guitar:
I have been playing 40+ yrs. I have or had 'THEM ALL'. ..except a Ric. I have many strats, teles, pauls, and a large collection of custom and factory archtops. For more about me, check out my site charliex dot com. I would see Rics played by strummers or some of the 'jangle guys'..but I never saw any serious players use one. Harrison is great, but no monster players ever used them. It may be assumed that Rics are a 1 trick pony and only get that one sound and only do one thing. I thought this for 40 plus years, then finally played a new Ric. What a shock and how wrong I was. THis 381 has replaced ALL of my Fenders. The neck pup can get all the tones of a neck tele or strat pup, but cuts through WAY better. The treble pup can get tele tones, but much better and with a much fuller tone. It can get some of the best funk out of phase tones of any brand. I never blend pups on a Gibson but on the Ric the blended pups are very usable. The 5th knob blends just the amount you WANT to hear in the mix. THis Ric is now my main guitar ..you should check them out as it really CAN do nearly everything..and Im a jazzer! No jazzers play these, but they work great for jazz also. I also ordered the Harrison 12 string at the same time..that thing is nearly unplayable between the horrible narrow neck (cant even play nut chords on it) and the lack of frets! The frets are so low its like punching brick wall playing this 'thing'. Play one of these for years and you are looking at some serious arthritis issues. Right out of the box you will need some decent size fret wire and maybe ur tech could make a nut with some spacing between the strings. Otherwise, forget a 12 string Ric, but the 6 is wonderful.
Comments about Rickenbacker 381V69 Vintage Series Electric 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.
Comments about Rickenbacker 381V69 Vintage Series Electric Guitar:
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.
Comments about Rickenbacker 381V69 Vintage Series Electric Guitar:
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.
Comments about Rickenbacker 381V69 Vintage Series Electric Guitar:
It took forever to get this guitar but it is flawless. I have a large guitar collection including vintage pieces and sever custom shop and Masterbuilt Fenders and Gibsons. I also own a 360/12(one of my first guitars)I am exceptionally picky as a collector and musician about my instruments. Along with a 1 off Custom shop Strat, a masterbuilt Twisted tele and a SG Supreme, this is as good as any of them, and they are the best of my collection. Lately I have favored the Twisted Tele(better than a nocaster) bit I think with the range of features(and I do like the ric o sonic on my 360/12) this promises to one of my most frequently used guitars, The inly bad thing is if you can't find one in stock, be prepared to wait. Aside from everything else it is a piece of art!
