NGD - Rickenbacker

S. Cane · Sep 22, 2018

So, I finally traded my SG for a sweet Rickenbacker 620 in Mapleglo.

I really like it.

Plays like butter (fastest neck I've ever tried on a 'old school' guitar) and fits my needs perfectly, tonewise.

Oh, and it looks cool as hell with that cresting wave upper horn :jim:salude

congrats ! ..ricks are really well made high quality guitars ...I love like the blonde finish on yours ... the headstock w/white plastic trussrod cover is really striking ..i have a black 660/12 that i'll never part with ..this mike campbell vid might have you considering a 12 string also ..in particular @ 3:15

Thanks!

Yes, it's pretty cool, ain't it? I love the mapleglo finish, it's more like a blonde finish than a "natural" maple.

This guitar is so cool and smooth playing, yet it has a serious "rock and roll" tone with those high gain pickups. It's like a Strat on steroyds :laugh2:

I particularly enjoy its looks, it looks just as good on a punk rocker, a surf musician, a tuxedo-wearing jazzist or any straight-forward bar gigging "blue Levis, black tee, Chuck Taylors" guy.

Love it!

How is the neck, nut width, string spacing compared to a typical Gibson Les Paul?

Very cool guitar! Funily enough, I bought a 660 a couple of days ago...should be delivered later this week.

I love Rickenbacker guitars! :salude

Everything in the Rick looks and feels narrower. It's lighter than an average Les Paul. Thinner, narrower. Though it's definitely a full size guitar, it looks and feels smaller than a Lester in almost every way.

Since I'm a short guy, it is very comfortable and fast to play.
