Rickenbacker Last Friday I had the pleasure of playing one of these - a Rickenbacker 330 guitar. It was midnight blue, very light, a fast low action and it sounded like 60's rock n' roll. It was without a doubt the nicest electric guitar I've ever played. Unfortunately they sell for $3000 new, so there's no way I'll ever own one. Rickenbackers were made famous by the Beatles - John Lennon and George Harrison both played them at various times, as well as the Byrds and Tom Petty. Oh yes - and Rick James played a Rickenbacker bass guitar on his great great song "Superfreak". If you want to check out the entire range of Rickenbacker guitars, including their lap steels, I recommend this site.  ¶ 9:35 AM
