Rickenbacker 360 Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar (with Case) Customer Review

Sound:

Not completely universal, but not as limited as rumours say. If you like it, you love it then. Full, rich, warm tone with body and soul. I play clean, crunch, OD, dist and even fuzz and guitar seems to like all these options. Better than my Tele, Strat, LP, Cyclone II and Godin Radiator. For recording I sometimes swap it for Tele.

Feature:

Stereo! You can do silly things with it. But nothing comparing to option of blending bridge sound with neck sound. It is a killer and ones i discovered it i am missing it in the rest of my guitars.

Ease of Use:

Exchanging strings is for clumsy ones like me the real nightmare. Getting the right sound from it is idiot-proof. Everybody can do it. It's very playable. Great neck, so thin that you can literally srangle it. ergonomically one of the best i had in my arms.

Quality:

10 even the mono input is placed so badly that by standing on itself you will destroy by the cable jack the contacts in it. Use higher stand or lay the guitar on its back.

Manufacturer Support:

no experience

Value:

For the same money you can have a Gibson or some extraordinary metal axe. But if you want Ricky, the price around 1000 pounds is all right and the value (sound, playability, quality and style) will let you forge about what you paid.

The Wow Factor:

Actulally, it goes to 11.

"RIC is 75! It's 75 years of Perfection!"

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Sound:

It's the original RIC sound, you can't get it anywhere else. Any one that has listened to rock music from the 60's to present knows what it sounds like.

Feature:

You get a Hard Shell case, that's custom fitted for it, you don't need much else. And the RIC-O-Sound stereo output is the best feature, you can hook it up to two Amps, or have one channel going direct in and another going through an effects pedal, for a sound you can get anywhere else.

Ease of Use:

This is honestly the easiest guitar I've ever played, slides are the easiest with the varinished fret board, your across the board before you realize it.

Quality:

Rickenbacker has the tightest quality control, something seriously lacking in most US buisnesses, but they build it right and make sure your happy. My Gibson SG doesn't come close.

Manufacturer Support:

I haven't had any problems with the guitar, but I've noticed that you can buy their vintage pickups from their site for a bit of an upgrade, or costumizing. Haven't seen another company offer such an extensive catalog of parts with such low prices. I don't think I'll ever have a problem with them.

Value:

Worth every penny, they perfected this guitar in the 1960's everyone from around the world wanted one, they haven't changed it since, classy and timeless, can't assess a value on that.

The Wow Factor:

I First saw the 360 in a Jetglo finish about 13 years ago, when I first started playing seriously. I walked into a small guitar shop and saw this guitar, they wouldn't let me play it, but from that point on, I dreamed of owning one, saw every killer guitarist play one. That's REAL sex appeal.

Overall:

I wanted to recreate the 1960's Brit pop sound, I've played dozens of guitars in my time, this guitar is all I've ever wanted. I've heard reviews about people suggesting for different sounds try other guitars, why would you want another sound, the variations that this guitar offers is all you ever need. This guitar will last longer than I will. If tragedy happens I'll buy another one, plain and simple. But if I do go looking for another guitar, I'll pick up a 12 string model of it, that would be the only way I could buy another guitar.

"Abandon All Others and Buy This One...You Won't Regret It...not for a moment."

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Sound:

This baby rocks, and I don't even play rock. I'm a jazz and blues fan, and this instrument does wonderfully in both venues. It's so beautiful and so appealing that you almost get to the point of quivering...It's like having the most beautiful girl in your arms and she only has eyes for you.

Feature:

I have a number of other guitars and won't embarrass the Companies by naming them, but this is the best built guitar I own. The rosewood fretboard is so fast and so smooth and so beautiful that it can distract you until you get used to it. It's like none other you've seen. Rickenbacker is the epitomy of American craftsmanship and begs why other companies had to go overseas to build theirs.

Ease of Use:

Getting the sound you want from this guitar is a factor of what sound do you want and what are you willing to put into the process to get it. Straight up, it produces a really great sound and the tone is impeccable. Hooking it up with some great digitech pedals will blow you away and make you understand why great musicians choose this guitar as one they want to play and record off of.

Quality:

Like I said earlier, of the 20 guitars I've owned, this is the best built and most "together" instrument I've had. You can get hooked into just looking at it and reveling in its quality, but, until you pick it up, feel the smoothness of every part that touches your skin, and strike a chord or note, you won't know how magnificent the guitar you're holding is. Go ahead, stroke...it'll sing for you and mesmerize you like the siren that enticed all of Ulysses' men. It's simply beautiful and worthy of contemplating.

Manufacturer Support:

Haven't had to use support and hope I never will.

Value:

I got her in a great deal, but whatever you pay, go for it. At almost any price, except the current value of gasoline, this instrument is worth it. It's one that'll never depreciate. It's an investment.

The Wow Factor:

This baby will seduce you and the seduction will be something you'll never get out of your mind. This is the best dream you've ever had come to life as a guitar. Get in there and make love to her through your music.

Overall:

I can't say any more than what I've said above. I'll conclude by attesting to the fact that there's nothing I'm disappointed about with this instrument and feel fortunate to have gotten my hands on one.

"Not a Telecaster soundwise but everything else about a Ric is sweet. And the 12 is an amazing toy!"

Sound:

Needs some amp and effects help for bluesy rock, etc. but clean and crisp.

Feature:

Clean and professionally finished. A beauty.

Quality:

No guitar in America is made with more care and pride.

Manufacturer Support:

I've had good response from this company.

Value:

For what you get, it is a great value.

The Wow Factor:

Even Apple is using a Ric in their ad for the new G5 and Garage Band!

Overall:

Most people buy Rics for life or trade one for another.
