    You're incorrectly pronouncing the name of his trade. He's not a "sculpture", as that's a piece that's been sculpted. He's a sculptor. And clearly a highly talented one.

      @dannyboy9978 6 років тому

      The finish was done by Marty Bell of Vista, Calif. You can look him up on the web. I also have done many custom finishes but my time is booked into next year. Marty is also a lot faster than me ;-) You can see more of our work at topgearguitar (dot) com - Each guitar photo on the home page lists whether I did the finish or Marty did it.

    i own 2 rics, the first a fireglo 330 left hand, perfect guitar, ive had that since 1993, the second is a mapleglo 330 12 left hand, which the bridge saddles were cut so bad that both the E and A strings sounded like they had constant fret buzz. i spent a fortune finding out what was causing that dam fret buzz, all in all i was more then happy with the first guitar and really surprised on the shoddy workmanship on the 330,12 string.......i guess you cannot win them all.

    "OH MY GOD, HOW CAN THOSE PEOPLE SLEEP AT NIGHT CHARGING THAT MUCH FOR A STUPID GUITAR?!?!" What you have to realize is that these are made in America. And I just don't get people giving Rickenbacker crap for the price. There are plenty of Gibson's, Gretsch's, and Fender's that are at least 2x more than a Rick. I guess it's because people don't think that they are versatile. I have played a couple of Ricks now, and I can say that they are not only for Beatles, Byrds, or Who enthusiasts. There are loads of new bands these days that play Ricks, such as The Walkmen, Tame Impala, Kasabian, Coldplay, and others.

      If you play a 4001 from the mid ‘70s you’ll know what the fuss is all about. Definitely a labor of love but you’ll never find a nicer playing neck. They were all hand made then so no two are exactly alike. I lucked out. I see your comment from 7 years ago, hopefully you have one by now…
