Also not a huge fan of the big hollow-bodies. The rickenbacker to me doesn't even feel like one. Only the lightness. Other than that, it just feels like a wicked electric guitar with a whole load of uniqueness to it. You really should try one man, I garuntee you'll love it.
Dare I ask how much of your arm you had to bite off to get yours lol? Was just browsing eBay earlier, having a look at how much they can fetch, and bearing in mind they generally seem to dance between $1500 and $2000, did you have to fork out similar? But yeah, I'd love to just get a chance to play one at some point, but the only ones I recall seeing in the area in the last couple of years were a pair of black Jetglos, 6- and 12-strings respectively, but that was a couple of years ago.
