Thomannbacker?

Hey all I see there are a number of older threads about these.
I was wondering if anyone ended up getting one or has played with one

I haven’t heard of anybody getting one. I watched some videos that were complimentary.

Sell your soul to the devil (and some worldly possessions) for the real thing. I did

It’s pretty for sure but it is definitely in a different class when it comes to price. A real Rickenbacker is what? 10x the price?

There’s a company called Deep Tone Music that may interest you.
They have had several of the Japanese Rick copies in the past few months at pretty respectable prices

The Greco clones actually look very good and are not super expensive (very used of course, they haven’t been made in many years). Apparently they sound even more aggressive than a Rick.

They both sound good to me here; the Rick pretty clearly has better and hotter pickups though. Greco build quality should be great.
