Its a 1965 Rickenbacker 450-6.
Wow...love at first sight. 100% a keeper and I don't say that lightly. I will soon be listing a plethora of guitars to pay for this bad boy.
I have owned and played probably a thousand guitars. Never even seen a Rick in person.
I always thought they were big and unwieldy....(Is that a word??).
This thing is so small and compact yet amazingly substantial.
I have been on such a Gibson craze lately, that they all sound the same to me.
This thing is like a Tele or Fender neck PUP on steroids.
I played it for 2 minutes and came up with a cool driving punk song!
I then read up on these and lo and behold, Johnny Ramone played one!
Its so cool how its very well played, tons of wear, yet its 100% original down to the funky tiny little strap buttons.
Just wanted to share.....its been a while since I had such a connection with a guitar.
Plus, its a 1965 and I was born in 1964 so we are almost the same age.
BEST NGD EVER!!!!
