The guitars care me, but the basses intrigue the FUCK out of me...
Their guitars just make me feel like a little kid, they look SO HUGE!

...I never cared for those fat looking ones...

(The guitar I mean.)

I dunno I'm not a big fan of plaid.

I'm waiting for the "Plaid" revival.

I dislike plaid like I dislike woodgrain as well.

I'm totally not buying that magazine.

Tacky as fuck looknig magazine. I wouldn't trust a word inside it based on the cover alone.

The BobAC ric is the only guitar style I've seen of theirs that looks aesthetically pleasing. The others are all a bit of a mess.

What is "The BobAC ric"?

They were around way before Ibanez did that, that makes no sense. Something looks weird about the new Rics, I can't put my finger on it. The finishes also look weird, did they change the paint process?

They did.I'm not sure how it is different but there is discussion of it on the Rickenbacker corporate forum.Here is a pic of another 2008 360 posted by a friend on another forum.

...I actually never minded the Ibanez markers... Chalk that up with Wizard necks as being the ONLY things I really like about Ibanez.

The Ibanez markers are actually a bit less cheaply implemented than the Ric's to me, at least.

Why are there loads of half naked birds in this guitar magazine?
