If it didn't make any sound at all, I'd still want one! What a great lookin' guitar!!
Yay he pronounced Rickenbacker right !
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!
I'd love to hear this through a Vox AC30.
Sounds similar, at times, to a Telecaster. But about 1000 times prettier to look at!
and $1000 more expensive, but yeah, Rics can often be very tele-ish, a tele and a ric are my main 2 guitars.
@@THEQueeferSutherland luckily the QC on Ric's are actually consistent and not made in various factories
100% agree
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.
He anglicized his name during the early 20th century, so it's backer.
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).
Can I have it? lol
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.
Good for ambient?
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.
The 660 is the "wide neck" version of the 620 (otherwise, they are identical). Try the 620 as it may suite you better.
Get a 620 with the narrower neck and take some steel wool or a scotchbrite pad to the fingerboard. Boom. Fixed.
@@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.
Rickenbacker just announced that the 660 will not have varnish on the fretboard anymore. What are the disadvantages? anyone?
@@dylanthomas7443 The look
Because dodo brains can't say richenbacher, reechenbaahker
Is that Mitch Gallagers son
outstanding tones
I've always loved this model but the tuning seems a little wonky. i'll probably get one eventually.
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.
Gorgeous axes.
Cool
What songs is he playing at the start ?
muhaimin azmi sounds kinda like Sleepwalk by Johnny and Santo
Lynyrd Skynard song, the needle and the spoon
What is the scale length?
62.9cm (24 3/4")
The Harley Benton RB-612CS looks a lot like this
double-bound neck?
Lol thought I was the only one to notice that...
Pearloid inlays, soo playstic?
kyatzz Plastic yes, playstic no
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..
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.
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?
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.
What an idiotic comment.
Richard Piercy: You seem to know little about music and even less about Rickenbackers.
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.
Although I wouldn't agree that it looks bizarre, I do agree with your comments regarding distortion 👌😂
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.
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.
But you will look cool with a Rickenbacker:)
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
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.
Go ahead and think that, one less cat to worry about :)
