His playing and sound on ?I Put A Spell On You?, ?Working man?, ?Walking On The water?, ?Born On The Bayou? and ?Good Golly Miss Molly? still turns me on. The reason I wanted a Rickenbacker style guitar, is because it was John Fogerty who inspired me to start playing guitar 30 years ago or so. I will use it with the original pickups for a good while to see if I find it?s glory for what it is. I do love playing guitar and I kind of like the sound. In my opinion the money value of this guitar isn?t that much, so if it doesn?t increase very much in the future, that wouldn?t stop me? maybe? (But who knows wkat'll hapen to the value och Greco guitars?). I love original but I?m no original freak though, so if I really want three pickups, it will probably get it. You definitely have a good point in keeping the guitar original.
