Rickenbacker 330
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.
Buying a new guitar is a lot like buying new camera equipment. There’s always the hope that the great new piece of equipment is going to make you better. But we all know that isn’t true… as my neighbors can now attest to.

I stumbled on your website. I really love the look of this series.
You cannot go wrong with the Rickenbacker 330 (Great choice).
You can play a song all the way through, just make up one of your own songs and say that is how it goes.
Just get the A,E,D.F G, down and move around and individually hit the strings.
Every guitar player was at one point -just like you are on the guitar.
Cheers,
