This atypical Rickenbacker ("what? Ricken a solid-body?") Has everything to seduce.
Twenty-four boxes of fun. The frets are slightly square, the handle is very thin and varnishes. The pickups are double-winding very thin and covered with a plastic cover.
The bridge is fixed and is based on the strings of small media that can be screwed on their axis, thereby adjusting the spacing of these strings (in addition to adjusting the height and length).
Tone controls and volume, 3-position selector for the pickups.
The handle is reinforced with two adjustable bars.
UTILIZATION
The handle and Chevallet set gives a very comfortable game, the last frets are really playable. This guitar is very well balanced comfortable.
This gives a good sound easy, but it's thoroughly that it gives the best.
SOUNDS
This guitar has a clear sound amazing. Ideal for pop (with a slight chorus, fender reverb, delay ...), crystalline arpeggios, sounds clear 60's, blues or slightly "crunchy". However, the sound is fuzzy and poor when he adds a fuzz or overdrive. Really not suitable for metal, for example.
OVERALL OPINION
I bought it in 1990 during a clearance sale. Mine is this typical Rickenbacker white paint which tends to yellow a bit, with a black edging around the edges. I love this guitar, although I dream with a vibrato (I enlisted the services of a Gretsch Electromatic, much more difficult, for this purpose.) It has not been a huge success in its output (at the same time as the Grunge ...), perhaps because she may lack originality in form, very simple for the brand. It is worth a very safe and very interesting instrument for its playability, its sounds clear and carastéristiques ... rarity!
