Rickenbacker 350

Manufacturing USA, guys, look no further.
This is version 24 frets, the "long scale", not 3 / 4 John L, who played with the B. ..
3 microphones
Easel R Ricken
Two tones, two volumes and the small balance knob.

UTILIZATION

The handle: I have no complaints, access is easy, but I'm not a soloist.
The weight is perfect, the grip is "natural" and obvious. That's what I thought by playing for the first time. The guitar is very well balanced and really perfect finish, this is a Mapleglo, with black hardware, mechanical, including pickups and bridge.

The sound ... need only plug it in and Oops ... I will not here redescribe Rickenbacker characteristics, they are characterized and highly specific. I am a fan. Three microphones and three very different grains, delicious.

SOUNDS

This is the guitar I was looking for a long time, but as to find one ... that's another story. I waited years to have this opportunity of 1991 in perfect condition, in AudioFanzine ads.
Brightness and Rickenbacker's ideal for a timeless pop-rock.

I use it mainly with a Laney amp (yes, American guitar amp british is typed), mostly with clear sounds and a touch of chorus and delay of a few hairs, depending on the tracks played, and time time crunch with a slight distortion modeled type AC-30. It's the sound I wanted. The pickups really punch and brilliance that delights me ear canals.
I get help with this palette of POD Line6 effects, we will not be shy ...

Well, everyone knows that this is not a guitar for metalheads, but it is not the intention in my case.
I want a guitar that takes the agreement and that sounds.
And that's exactly it.

OVERALL OPINION

I play since May 2007 and it is quickly addictive. I just dropped my Start, which serves me in backline, if a rope had to slam on stage.
But I never break strings.

I can not probably be truly objective with this guitar is my partner, my favorite. In fact, I would put around 10/10, if I listened ... But you will say that I push away, away.
Perhaps because it results a bit of an old fantasy of all this imagery (visual and audio) that the trimballent Ricks, but because from the first notes, it appeared to me as an obvious ... it sounds and it sounds fair, balanced and elegant.
Yeah, that's how.
It's like when you find the person with whom one is: you have to marry him. Me is what I did.
The guitar is the same. We crossed a lot, and then one day, there is one.
Guitar.

Price / quality: nothing to say.
I is now a 330 ...
I tell you, it's addictive.
