This was my first guitar - an incredible gift from my parents after graduating high school. I had been looking for a Rickenbacker 350 Liverpool because Susanna Hoffs of the Bangles played on, but that guitar proved very difficult to find. Eventually we found this one in a local shop - at the time Ric’s were very scarce - so we jumped on it.
While not exactly what I had in mind for my musical style, as I was getting more into 80s hair metal and rock, this is an incredibly high end instrument with a very unique tone. I’m glad to say I haven’t sold it all these years despite thinking about it very seriously a few times.
