NGD - a 50 year dream realized...
Ever since I first saw the Beatles back in the 60s, I've been captivated by Rickenbacker guitars. I first got to scratch the itch about 11 years ago, when I bought my first, a 650D. However, while I love it dearly, it was never the one I *really* wanted - that, of course, was a semi-acoustic 12-string, but at the time, I just couldn't stretch the budget that far.
Finally, everything came together, and this beauty arrived a couple of days ago. I think I enjoy just looking at it as much as playing it, and I've been doing lots of both. I'm a lucky man

Congratulations! I bet I know what the first chord you played on it was...

Thanks, James - yes, nothing says Rickenbacker 12-string quite like that opening Hard Day's Night chord... (or a reasonable facsimile thereof )

I remember a ric I got to play a bunch as a younger guy! It was awesome sounding! I didn't realize they were higher end guitars til later. Good stuff and congrats.

Love the Rics and that's a beauty.
I've had a few and really don't know why I ever sold them. |

Nice! I'd love a 360/6 or a 650D.
The only bad thing about the 360 (and other models) is the temptation to buy another amp just to experience ric-o-sound
