Hi all,
So I'd like to experiment with a Ric, except, you know, the cost. I've noticed that while ESP, Ibanez, and others have copied Les Pauls and Strats pretty closely, there are relatively few high quality Ric clones.
Now of course you'll have your DHGate/AliExpress sort of visual knockoffs, but I mean Ric copies that change up the design slightly while keeping as much of the sound of the original as possible.
You'd think given the age and popularity of the design it would have been copied much more than it has been.
At this rate, it feels very proprietary--the Apple of bass guitars.
It always struck me as something quintessentially 1950s--like Danelectro, or something from a Fallout game.
If they were more accessible, I think they'd be fun to experiment with.
