Rickenbacker 4003 Review

After years of wanting, I managed to get a Rickenbacker 4003. This is the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen (and I've seen quite a few). The build quality is fantastic. The sound is exactly waht you would expect from A Ricky, tons of bottom end and enough searing top to take your head off. Mine has the 'vintage tone' control which means it has extra versitility. It can switch from a modern 4003 to a 70's 4001 by engaging the extra tone capacitor in the bridge pickup. Straight out of the box the set up was very good. A bit of tweaking with the dual truss rods and the action is now brilliant, responsive and very fast. Rickenbackers are notoriously hard to find and a bit on the expensive side, but I think it's worth the effort and the expense.I think I'm in love..........
