YES YES YES

Only complaint is the high e buzzes a bit played open....not sure if it's gonna need a new nut or just a setup, hence the piece of red thread wrapped around the string on the nut. I gigged with it tonight, and it went awesome. Fuck yes!

How long do you plan on keeping the American flag sticker on the pickguard?

(actually I hadn't given it much thought, but I kinda like it on there"

It seems like every used Ric I see still has that sticker on - it's the weirdest damn thing.

Ric guys are weird - you're weird now.

If that's the case then I have wanted to be weird for some time and will continue to be weird (who knows, I might even get weirder)

Actually though the more I look at it in pictures, it does seem a bit weird....I'll probably take it off at some point once the newness wears off and I break it in so to speak (although I kind of broke it in quite a bit already tonight)

Congrats man!How do you like it? I love all the inprovements that Rickenbacker has made in the last year or so:New Higain pickups with adjustable pole pieces,new UV finish that is more durable and the 60's style headstocks look great!

what's the light blue gitar?

Nick · Post by **Nick** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 11:21 pm

gaybe: the blue one is a 1982 Ibanez Blazer. I've had it longer than any other guitar in my collection at this point. It's pretty heavily modded with a fender vintage style bridge (but with the original brass trem block for amazing sustain), a SD 59 in the neck, Phat Cat in the middle and P-Rails in the bridge with a 3 way switch to switch between p90/humbucker/single coil rail in the p-rails.

Westtex: I was unaware of any updates on the new models when I got mine, but whatever it has on it, I love it. The sound, the feel, and of course the looks. I intend to keep this guitar forever. I just need to get that thing with the high e string sorted, but in the meantime a tiny piece of paper under the string is doing the trick just fine

Ultra: awesome, I listened to the jam (and other ric bands) just about every day in the week I was waiting for it to be delivered, thinking about all the awesome sonds I'd be able to make with it.

Richard · Post by **Richard** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 11:21 pm

That's his Ibanez Blazer.

Edit: Oops, he beat me to it.

Why does rickenbacker use such ridiculous names for all of their colours? As another example, their sunburst is "montezuma brown"...
