If it didn't make any sound at all, I'd still want one! What a great lookin' guitar!!

@jfinester 5 лет назад

I’ve got to agree with everyone who says the 660 is Rickenbacker’s Tele. They have a wider neck than most other Rickys too. I like this demo!

outstanding tones

@rickbaker1707 7 лет назад

what an attitude, the beatles never used a 660, I bought one based on their ethos and quality, they never farmed their production off to cheap labor in Asia or Mexico and then moan that they were being copied. I am English and respect the tis is a quality USA brand keeping jobs in the USA.

Rick Baker, Tom Petty had a signature 12 string model!

George Harrison's first Rick was a 425 (same body shape, one pickup).

Gorgeous axes.

@teerexness 6 лет назад

Sounds similar, at times, to a Telecaster. But about 1000 times prettier to look at!

@THEQueeferSutherland 4 года назад

and $1000 more expensive, but yeah, Rics can often be very tele-ish, a tele and a ric are my main 2 guitars.

@kentuckybourbonfade4264 7 лет назад

One of the coolest looking guitars ever made. It could be a much better guitar by not putting gloss varnish on the fretboard as it becomes quite sticky. And the neck is just a tad too wide, but the build quality is exceptional.

@stillbill6408 6 лет назад

The 660 is the "wide neck" version of the 620 (otherwise, they are identical). Try the 620 as it may suite you better.

@evanherb5900 6 лет назад

Get a 620 with the narrower neck and take some steel wool or a scotchbrite pad to the fingerboard. Boom. Fixed.

@robertthurman3743 5 лет назад

@@stillbill6408 Yeah, no one complains the neck is too wide. They need a wide neck on the 360. I know I would have kept mine. My nut came in ever so slightly under 1 5/8. It remains the coolest guitar I ever hated. Beautiful, but I grew to hate it.

@dylanthomas7443 2 года назад

Rickenbacker just announced that the 660 will not have varnish on the fretboard anymore. What are the disadvantages? anyone?

What exactly is it in this guitar or demo that speaks to us 100% with a late 1950s sound? Can someone who knows tell us? Please - Thanks.

The vintage single coil toaster pickups on a solid maple body.

@brianbogle5050 6 лет назад

I've always loved this model but the tuning seems a little wonky. i'll probably get one eventually.

@montag4516 5 лет назад

Nothing different with the tuning or tuning keys for these. But the nut width is noticeably wider than most other 6-string electrics out there. Good idea to try one first. If you've got long fingers it should not be an issue. On the other hand the nut on the 620 models are rather narrow.

I wish people would stop saying Backer, it's Bacher. Backer was not the original pronunciation even though people will try to say it was. It's German and definitely Bacher. Just like Orville Redenbacher.

@riogrande163 27 дней назад

He anglicized his name during the early 20th century, so it's backer.

@harveycan5820 6 лет назад

Alas they don't use the crushed Mother of Pearl like they used to... But the rest of the guitars in the Vintage models are pretty spot on, and play and sound great. That's probably the important part..

@OmicronTauKappaClassicDaddy 3 года назад

Mother of toilet seat inlay has been used for a long time. My Rick 620 still looks and sound spectacular. Fender used clay dots at one point which looked very sporty with a rosewood board and Daphne Blue finish Strats. I'd really like to see some epoxy based inlay with metal flake.

@dingalarm 2 года назад

Considering how expensive Rickenbackers are, it's disappointing that they use plastic fretboard inlays, rather than mother of pearl, or some other exotic inlay material.

Sorry brian this has to be the least inspired vid on youtube for a rickenbacker guitar., what about a tour round the great songs we all know this classic guitar has featuured on ? It might make your job a bit easier and engender us strummers to add such a classic guitar to our stable?

@paulsimmons5726 7 лет назад

Rickenbacker guitars are a pure niche sound, period. Their thin tone can be "almost" copied by using a Fender but Rickenbackers can't be used to copy any other guitar's tone... They're really cool, one-trick ponies and demonstrate some amazing abilities in the hands of someone who understands them. For most of us, a Fender Strat will work nicely and be usable on more than 2 or 3 songs a night.

@Skiptracer1981 7 лет назад

Only the ones with the vintage toaster pickups have that thin one dimensional chimey tone. The hi-gain pickup models have a great tone suitable for anything.

@Rickenbacker325 6 лет назад

But you will look cool with a Rickenbacker:)

@IHATEYANKS41 6 лет назад

I thought the same until I got a Rick 360, incredibly versatile, drop some overdrive on it and I get up there with my humbucker equipped 355

@SpaceDisco1 5 лет назад

Rofl, always the same shit on every ric vid. Yeah because they were so one dimensional, they were employed by literally everything from The Byrds, to the Smiths and nowadays Tame Impala. All vastly different sounding bands.

@chubbydexter7987 5 лет назад

Go ahead and think that, one less cat to worry about :)

@richardpiercy7644 5 лет назад

It looks bizarre. A caricature of the classic 330. Always the obsession with distortion (ever since punk guitarists realised they didn't have the skill to sound worthwhile) . In this case the distortion doesn't even sound good.

@skiptracer2988 4 года назад

What an idiotic comment.

@stephenhawkingsfootballboo7885 4 года назад

Richard Piercy: You seem to know little about music and even less about Rickenbackers.

@dickon728 4 года назад

Skip Tracer I see you have five likes for your reply. Fortunately I am fully aware that the opinion of the majority or in this case the several is not always right as in this case it is not. One does not need to kowtow to the unimaginative and unoriginal pandering to the leanings of the status quo specifically that punk is music and the guitar in question is beautiful. I am happy to be correct and stand alone in my understanding of the truth. It is liberating to be independent in one’s thinking. You should try it.

@dingalarm 2 года назад

Although I wouldn't agree that it looks bizarre, I do agree with your comments regarding distortion 👌😂
