Title: Stones & Rickenbacker
Post by Starbuck on Oct 16^th, 2018 at 1:05pm

Lately I have been obsessed with Rickenbacker guitars. Love the sound and the feel. I currently own five of them.

I, however, can't think of any Stones songs that are distinctly Rickenbacker tunes. Anyone help me out?

Don't have many pics with the boys playing Rickies either.

I’ve seen pictures of Brian playing a Rickenbacker.

I don't think that is a Rick. Near the end of the song, you can clearly see a cross section, and the guitar is too thick.

Found another clip looks like the same Guitar, It looks like a Rick on the nameplate on the neck. I'm not a sound excpert but the sound, sounds like a Tele, Thanks! Im a big James Burton Fan and have wonder about this for years. Hollywood showing/promoting one thing and using another. Bait and Switch.
