NGD - not a Gibson

My wife surprised me with a Fireglo 2001 Rickenbacker 330 for our anniversary. After 45 years, I guess she knows me pretty well. I have always wanted a Ric.

Congrats on your wife and your Rickenbacker 330! [thumbup] That Fireglo finish looks awesome and nicely matches the environment where you pictured your Ric. [love]

You are a lucky man. My girlfriend is appauled that I have so much musical equipment that I should be selling it, or donating or whatever. The last thing she would do is spring for a new axe.

 

She resents the whole thing. When I disappear into my studio, I might not be seen for 3 days, and when I play gigs, she is convinced I have groupies. (I only wish).

As the saying goes; "That One's a Keeper!"

And that goes for the guitar as well.

 

Happy Anniversary to you both and may there be many, many more!

Thanks. It's a great guitar, very smooth neck and low action. The finish is in very good condition, a few small scratches that add character. The pickups had a little corrosion it came right off. Tone and volume pots work good and the fifth control knob adds a lot of possibilities.The pick guard screws have rusted heads, but I have ordered replacements for less than $1 each. I have even found keys for the original hard case on eBay. She got a great deal on the guitar with no input from me, very successful surprise.

Probably don't wanna marry that one - just sayin!

Trust me brother...This dude isn't getting married anytime soon. I already have some X-wives who conspire to screw and hammer every last drop of blood from me. Not to mention being single is great too.

 

I got diagnosed with a ruined heart and have had bunch of surgury and stuff. Mostly because of my habits and lifestyle for a long time. My GF sees the music biz as the root of it, and in her way, I think she's trying to keep me alive....But if she bought me a new Ric, I would probably put the toilet down more.
