How does a Rickenbacker sound?
It has a lot of crackle and Treble. Personally, i greatly dislike it and prefer a deep rich tone, but ive played the rick, and it's not for me, and i think you should head to your local store and try it for yourself. I don't particularly care for the Ric tone, but it sure is a unique one.
Are Rickenbacker guitars hard to play?
The short answer to your question is no.......they do not have to be hard to play. As suggested by others in this thread a good setup should eliminate any issues that you may be experiencing. I have been playing Rickenbacker guitars since 1965 and in particular their 12 string guitars since 1966.
How do you describe the tone of a guitar?
Crisp - clear with edge, bright, raw, but not unpleasant. Dark - covered up, more extreme than warm in regards to brightness, no edge. Throaty - thick with depth and growl. Nasally - dominant mids, overpowering the bass and treble.
