Phenomenal guitars. I think it's a mix of things - they've never had any interest in making "budget" models (and they stamp down had and fast on anyone else who tries it too close) - so the price of entry is abit high for people. I think they also suffer a bit from their main associations for many players being the BVeatles and the Birds; a lot of folks don't realise just how versatile they are. Obviously you have Lemmy with the basses; Glen Matlock was also a Ric man in his original Pistols days (though he played Fenders during the reunion gigs. I believe now he's mostly switched to guitar because of a bad back?). One of the boys in Joyrider (1990s Northern Ireland alt rock / punk band) played a Ric 360, cracking sound. I think far too often a particular style of guitar gets (at least visually) associated with a certain style of music, and so guitar players, being an inherently conservative breed, avoid it if it's not their style of music. We're lucky Buddy Holly didn't do that! Quote
