charic Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I can't be of much help other than to say:[list] [*]This shape in lefty REALLY confuses my eyes [*]Proceed with caution : If I wanted to sell a Ric and was that way inclined then one way to make slightly more money may be to flip every picture horizontally and claim it's a leftie. More demand even if there's less people due to the rarity. Upon buying it you would have to prove it's not lefthanded in order to make any kind of claim. In which time they could disappear. [/list] So yeah, just be a bit careful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonsmith Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Yes, they have. They posted some photos of lefties on their Facebook page during October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iiipopes Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) Yes, RIC have announced on their factory forum a run of lefty basses: [url="http://www.rickenbacker.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15250"]http://www.rickenbacker.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15250[/url] Edited November 22, 2012 by iiipopes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocker19 Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 That`s fantastic. But if the new RICKs cost around 2500 dollars it`s too expensive... But I think that the prices of older, used ones should go lower now...What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
