im at work and also exceedingly lazy or i would look for it, but there’s a vid on youtube of someone reviewing a knockoff ricky.

edit: alright, i like you, I’ll put forth a tiny bit of effort :joy:

and it turns out there’s a bunch of chinese rickenbacker vids, go figure.

As mentioned before, I don’t speak - or read - Japanese, but I’d be interested to know a bit more about those sex machine guns :rofl:

Oh, it’s a band! Thanks for that :metal:t3: Reminds me of Helloween, or something like that, can’t quite put my finger on it.

Yah - ESP is huge on signature models for local artists. They are wildly popular guitars here for obvious reasons.

No those are nice but that Sandberg is just amazing. The color scheme and overall design is just sweet.

Yeah no question that Sandberg is awesome. Probably doesn’t dive like a T-bird either.

Front humbucker placement is a little odd. I’d have expected more neck-side. Would be interesting to hear it.

These are way out of my league in terms of price and I certainly don’t need one of these but they are so beautiful. #Stenback :heart_eyes:

Is that the new Harley Benton prestige line?

I honestly don’t know. I was just checking these BEAUTIFUL instruments out on YouTube and really don’t know anything about them other than the guy (founder) who designs and builds them is a luthier in Finland. Seems like it would probably cost a small fortune for one of these.

I was just thinking the other day that builders should do colored fretboards more often. I think I’d add more black somewhere. Maybe the body with white pickups but that’s awesome.

Ibanez did some basses for Korn’s Fieldy, white basses with white fretboards, they look pretty sweet.

Kiesel has a few photos of some floating around with colored fretboards, too, but I think you have to call that option in; it’s not on their builder, at least not yet.

An unusual aesthetic for a Ric… I like it!

Yes, but this thing doesn’t offer much flexibility in where your plucking hand (or picking hand) would be! :open_mouth:

“You can pluck anywhere you want! …as long as it’s here, or here. Or maybe here…” - Rickenbacker, probably.
