Rick's Fine '52

Wow, I love that Gibson amp, been looking for one of those for yonks, just fabulous!

Fender and Rickenbacker both toyed with fanned fretted guitars in the late 60's, neither of which went anywhere. I've only played a fanned fret bass, and I didn't get on with it, probably because I'm not very good in the first place!

They did the same with their bass too of course. I don't know the answer as to why, I'm guessing it looked more balanced with a more substantial headstock, and less of a 'straight stick' looking neck?
