Thinline guitar, with an extremely thin body, ie that it is far from Grtesch or Gibson to fund 10 to 12 cm thick. This also makes it very comfortable to play.
Made in America like all the Rickenbacker is also the largest manufacturer American Fender and Gibson now has the bulk of their production abroad.
24 frets and 2 single coils.
The bridge is half way between fixed and floating, to the extent that it is a floating bridge on a metal plate fixed.
2 volumes and 2 tones + an additional knob which is actually a kind of coil that balances the sound between the two microphones to assay the contribution of micro severe acute with respect to the micro. It's actually a knob-specific Rickenbacker who also plays the tone and sustain.
The key is in a beautiful wood with rose point benchmarks.
UTILIZATION
Handle very fine and pleasant, with the distinction of being varnished. Cutting a very special double cutaway makes access to acute ultra easy until the 24th box ... candy for the solos, although it is generally believed that this guitar is not made for that.
Furthermore it is relatively mild, similar to a strat regarding weight, but however much greater. Let's say the table is much the same size as a Gibson ES 335.
As far as easy to get a good sound the answer is yes to the sounds of bases, however a little experience will teach you to master the 5th knob, which can radically alter your sound. See the next section
SOUNDS
As you can imagine it is actually typed but not that. Micros easel is edged in a wish, say that it approaches a telecaster but hey it's something else. The neck pickup, however, is much rounder than one might imagine.
It is obviously of vintage sounds and lets out sounds very typical 60's Beatles, Byrds and Who or pop rock 80 to Smiths, REM and Unknowns, besides of course the Jam.
But do not forget that the Steppenwolf, typical of the 70 also played very fat Ricken and Creedence Clearwater and many others that are associated less with this guitar as Fred "Sonic" Smith of MC5 and many groups the first wave punk.
In fact with the intermediate position that is at the greatest range of sounds thanks to the 5th knob that allows the entire field as possible between 50/50 and 90/10 for the provision of two microphones.
OVERALL OPINION
I have this guitar for twenty years now and despite a few pets on the varnish is extremely reliable.
This is a guitar that is both original and mythical with a real face, a true sound but allows more than it seems at first.
The value for money and very correct when compared to any guitar made in United States, and downright excellent when compared to any half-box of the same class.
I do not have any regrets regarding the choice of this guitar, except, like all psychopaths collectomanique of my kind to have been a rare model of the mark as a 381v69 or not having chosen a different color (they are for a number of years now the colors of the year may be great.)
