I really would like one, I'm pay 500 big greens for one off guitar center (just enough for, 500 iced creams)

I think that unlike Fender and Gibson where they have less affordable models, Rickenbacker just makes custom shop level gear.

On Rocksmith I think I tested Losing my religion to make sure my Guitar wasn't outta tune. I could be making that up though.
