Would you buy a Rickenbacker Guitar

[VC4Ever]

Looking for something different and semi hollow. Do you recommend Rickenbackers or maybe a Gretsch?

Both cool but might be hard to shred on either. A 335 or other gibson variant would be a better bet as far as playability and versatility

Rickenbackers are great for that unique sound that only they can do.
Not versatility.

Gretschs are generally more versatile.
Despite my handle, now days I would lean more towards a Gretsch or Gibson If a hollow body sound is what you want.

Not sure what kind of money you want to spend but I would suggest Collings, PRS, Gibson, Nik Huber for hollowbody stuff.

Rickenbacker Noir series. Limited Edition I believe. Saw a couple on google when I searched recently.

If you get one I am envious.

I'd go with a PRS NS-14 Neal Schon http://www.prsguitars.com/privatestockns14/

Good luck finding one mate. The one on Reverb sold. I'll keep my eyes open for you though!

There was one on ebay about a month ago. According to the guy selling that one there were only 25 made. Surprisingly he wasn't selling it for more than a standard Rick.

I read the one of twenty five too. Hoping they do more. I'm a sucker for matte white/black and especially a stealth look like that. Checkerboard binding just makes it pop so nicely too!
