well i can tell you that they shouldn’t feel exactly the same….at least sound wise….the rickenbacker is a semi hollow body and that Goddess is not so you’re gonna get different tones out of each. I have a solid body telecaster and I love it….you can’t go wrong with a nice solid body…its the most common type of guitar… but its nice to have at least one semi hollow body in your life….i’ve been really wanting to get one lately.
