Lightshow Redux!

westtexasred · Post by **westtexasred** » Thu Mar 18, 2010 9:17 am

Coming this summer from Waterstone Guitars. My friend Paul Wilczynski from the Rickenbacker Resource Forum has been working with Bob Singer at Waterstone Guitars, to revive the Light Show concept. These new light show guitars are being built in Asia and will have an MSRP of approx $850.00, including HSC

$850 MSRP = ~$600 street? AWESOME.

I actually totally dig the headstocks on these. Fuck an lightshow, though.

Same. The lights are lame, but not a bad shape.

The times I saw them he had a neon-tube-lighted classic-style Jaguar, way cooler! Every line of the pickguard, hardware, etc.. was outlined with a neon glow.

This thing would just light up the rest of the band and kill the mystique!

No way man, Rickenbacker made the original lightshows in a non-gimmicky way that totally stood the test of time for a minute.
