GPOTD 2.9.17

[Chad]

Great little Ricky 450 weighs in at 6.99 lbs. Plays and sounds as it should. Comes with a new, perfect fit hardshell Rickenbacker case. Imperfections are:
1) Ding on the little E string side of the fretboard, looks obvious but is hard to feel.
2) Two knobs are missing their caps.
3) The D tuning machine has been replaced with a Fender (Strat/Tele style) machine.

barf.

[with the exception of the rosewood, which is always beautiful on Rics]

 

[OGG]

Naaah!

 

[PunkKitty]

Yeah. Okay.

 

[Lerxst]

Meh

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Most heinous.

 

[Deep Eddy]

Needs moar pickguard!!

Love Rics. Hate that one. No thanks.

 

[sleewell]

pretty bland piece of wood with a pickguard that is too big

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

no, i don't like the bridge on those.

 

[Dexter Inferno]

Even for a Rick that's hideous

Sheesh! All the Ric hate today. I think it looks kinda fun. I would check it out. Single ply white is not my favorite PG, but that could be fixed.

Ric's student model at the time.

It is what it is, kinda like a Melody Maker, Kalamazoo, Mustang or Bronco.

Always thought they sound a lot better than they look

I like Ric's but not this one.
Good thing they made that pick guard HUGE....you know, for when you strum behind the bridge...

 

[Coralkong]

I don't hate it.

Don't love it, but I don't hate it either. I'd have to try it out.

 

[ellengtrgrl]

It's OK, but I prefer the semi-hollow 360s over this.

 

[Denverdave]

I love Rics - but this one get s pass. Meh.....

I like the look of Rics, but their weird neck taper doesn't jive with me. I still think the guitar is cool looking
