Susanna Hoffs used to have a Rickenbacker Signature 350.

What a disgrace. Those didn't even exist when they played. I heard they were originally called the Bangs back in the day when a name like The Hard-ons could wreck your career. I know there was another group called the Bangs, but not with ALL CHICKS.

right, something for all those memorable guitar riffs the bangles played...

Their cover of "Hazy shade of winter" was pretty good! (Except for the trumpet bit)

I don't think there is anything wrong with them endorsing this guitar, especially since it's a "girls brand". The modern definition of a sig being something you played for years is just that, modern. Before sigs were just a product you endorsed, and slapped your name on before it even came out. I don't think one is better or more honest than the other.

correct. the og "the bangs" were from jersey i think. . . they were just a shit band that happened to exist like 4 seconds before the LA chick version did. and the dudes never amounted to anything, but i think the name change actually extended the bangles' reach to being more than a light, sunset strip punk band.

I really like the Daisy Rock one, and love that RIC, I think that'd be my perfect one...perfect cross between the 620 and 325, with the shape of the 325 and binding and neck/fretboard of the 620. Think I'd rather have a Hi-Gain in place of the bucker, though I've not had experience of the humbucker.

I wish they had a "full-size" 325 with a body and scale that was up with the big guys(wait a sec, am I thinking about a 381?), like BobArse mentioned, it has such cool features in one package. Besides, if it was THAT BIG, then everyone's favorite Jewish girl would be like no less than a towering 5'10"

With a little imagination...SHE'S HUGE.

Believe it or not, the prototype was white, tho' just 5 or so were made:

SO much hotter in Black, but I guess the only other time we were treated with such pearly Ric surprises was when Per Gessle from Roxette had that glorious other 360, I believe...CAN' T FIND PICS.

The 350 is a full sized 325 I believe.

A new Rickenbacker 330 Jetglo is on my want list... only around â‚¬1000 new.

After that I am saving up for an authentic Mosrite.

that is all...
