The problem is, and I say this from experience, when you buy the low ends and knock offs, you get used to the low ends and knock offs and all too often you are willing to "settle for" instruments because of what you can afford. Maybe it's because by the time they can afford one, they've already developed a Fender/Gibson habit.? There has been talk on the forum in the past about how young players aren't picking up Rickenbackers. I’d have been an old man by the time I’d saved enough for a genuine 325 (oh, hang on, I was!). Yes, it’s not a Ric and probably plays/sounds terrible and yes, you should save up for the real thing, but I had to save up my paper round money for about a year to buy that crappy Tele-thing. Which got me thinking – are copies really such a bad thing? My first guitar (a Tele copy, as it happens) probably cost me roughly the same, allowing for inflation, but I would have killed to have something like this. I know it’s a forum rule not to post links to Rickenbacker copies, so I won’t, but I noticed an online music shop I have used in the past is selling something bearing a spooky resemblence to a 325JG ().įrom past experience, I know forum members are united in their distain of such things and usually I would be with you, but it was the price of the thing - £97.52! – which made me think again.
