| 1978 Greco RB-80 Rickenbacker 330 Clone, Jetglo Finish Sorry, this guitar is now SOLD |
This is one of the great Greco Rickenbacker replicas. First of all it's a real beauty, Jetglo black with stunning white pickguard
and black knobs, aged chrome hardware and pickups, 100% mojo all the way. Visually it's perfect on first glance, then when
you look closer, you see that it's been around, and of course, it has - being that it was made in 1978, 30 years ago. So, it does
have a few wear marks, but you have to look for them, check out the photo's for details. It's funny but you can tell when a guitar
is the real thing, no matter how hard modern luthiers try to duplicate the aging process, now called "relicing" they just can't pull
it off like the genuine article. This guitar weighs in at 8 lbs. and that's just right for this model. It has the fast slim C style neck
that the originals came with. What I find hard to believe about this guitar is the action. I haven't done a thing to it, and it's damn
near perfect. The neck is as straight as they come, rosewood fretboard, great pearl inlays with fantastic mother of pearl.
Everything on this guitar is original and in exactly the condition you would hope it would be. Everything works perfectly and the
tone is perfect Rickenbacker, as soon as I started playing it I heard all of those great Beatle tunes playing in my head.
