That's interesting.I never saw a Rickenbacker 620 in that color before. What color is that? The only green Rickenbacker colors I know are

Cloverfield

and Sea Green

British racing green perhap?

the website calls it "turquoise". which is either wrong or stupid, as it looks nothing like real turquoise.

It's just bad lighting. it's the exact same guitar as this one I saw on ebay a few months ago.

Oh,ok,Musicians Friend used to sell them a couple of years ago.

I think the color actually looks more like this in reality

Why do they do this? Do they really make more parting out a Rickenbacker than selling it whole?

That looks like a similar model but I doubt its the same one. Olivias Vinatge a well known ebay seller sells their stuff for a bunch. reliablefender another well known eBayer usually buys cheap and parts stuff out.

i fucking hate the STRATosphere. they part so many awesome guitars out, and charge a shit ton for the parts. i told the guy that $449 was too much for a MIM 62RI strat neck and he told me to fuck off, and banned me from bidding on anything of his (i bid on a mustang bridge/trem of his unknowingly).

it still doesn't look much like turquoise to me:

hah, what? did he really say that? I know though, he does charge ridiculous BIN prices. you have to wait till he auctions the stuff out. I won a 70s Classic Series strat wiring harness (CTS pots, CRL switch, and Orange Drop all wired together) from him for $15. just the switch itself would have cost that much if I bought that stuff individually.

It could be named after a car color. In fact maybe something similar to this one, which is also a Fender colornamed turquoise.

What is it about Rickenbackers that make them so bloody good? I've never given much consideration to how they sound, but the feel is amazing.

I would have told Hotrod to fuck off too. If you don't like his ridiculous eBay prices then don't bid or make a comment about it on a forum. But don't email the guy. That's annoying as fuck.

As much as these guys are kind of douchey it's Fenders fault for having no decent replacement parts. I remember Fender used to make a tele and Strat neck with a Fender logo that was pretty easy to buy at any store like GC. Then they stopped. The probably figured they could amke a bunch licensing necks and body parts and not having to do anything at all.

I absolutely LOVE that green Ric. My friend has a pretty sweet blue Ric bass:

wow. you would have said 'fuck off' to someone who'd purchased from you multiple times, when they said "maybe you'd sell more if you lowered your prices a bit?" great way to lose repeat customers if you ask me. he could've said, nah, the prices are fine. dude told me to fuck off, then banned me from bidding on his auctions?

i forgot, i shouldn't be annoying WITH A FUCKING E-MAIL, but he can have annoying ass prices on there all day long. don't comment on it? fuck that, you can fuck off. i'll say whatever the hell i want to, because the shit is too expensive.

You might have a degree in douchebaggery, but you clearly don't have a degree in Economics or Marketing. Stop trying so hard, n00b.
