I love guitars. If I could, I’d have a room full of them. Now, don’t take this to mean I play the guitar. I play a little, but I’m very bad. I can play bits and pieces of songs I like, but I don’t think there’s one song I could get although way through.
This weekend I decided to buy a Rickenbacker 330. I’ve wanted this guitar for a while. I can’t really explain what made me pull the trigger and buy one this weekend. I honestly hadn’t even thought about it in a long time and I certainly don’t have a need for a new guitar (I already have a nice Gretsch Hollow Body)… but as can happen when browsing the Internet, I ended up on a video of Dan Auerbach (whom I’ll be seeing in concert on the 13th at Bimbo’s) and he was playing what looks to be a vintage Rickenbacker 330 Rickenbacker 360/12C63. That seemed to be all the motivation I needed.
