Re: Susanna Hoff's White-On-White Sig Prototype

Welcome Adam!

While I can’t confirm, it certainly appears to be based on unique features and manufacture date.

Just confirming, it has a F0 serial prefix?

Re: Rose Morris Rickenbacker Gallery

My brother worked in a music store in the early 70's to the early 80's and said that there were Rickenbacker guitars that came into the store and were designated as "MoonGlo", and that was over forty years ago. That seems to shoot R. O'keefe's story down!! Here's what we know: - There are...

Re: Cream binding, vintage knobs, Oiled fretboards

The changeover to vintage knobs on all models started gradually in the spring / early summer.

Re: Is there something weird with these HiGains?

Your pickups are identical to the pickups in my old 1983 330 (top and bottom), which was stock.

Re: Question/Story on my 360/12

I am surprised by your thought of $2500, but that would be nice should I ever choose to sell it. Even with the re-neck, at the end of the day, you still have an original 60's body with a thin top and some beautiful grain and original 60's toaster pickups and wiring. A guitar like this at $2000-$250...

Re: Question/Story on my 360/12

Thanks for sharing the photos! The number that popped into my head was $2500. Would love to hear from the other experts as well on this. One concern I have is that the bridge is bottomed out and the action appears to be quite high, indicating that the guitar needs a neck reset. I would estimate arou...

Re: Harrison Reissues -- 425V63 and 450V63

Most of the 425v63 that I have seen have a serial number printed in the center of the bridge plate. However, I just found one that has the serial number split like it was in the sixties. Anybody have a reissue model with the split serial number? I had a 425v63 BG - it had the serial number straight...

Here’s an even more detailed shipping breakdown:

While the majority stayed in the USA, this partly explains the scarcity of these on the secondhand market - many are overseas.

Re: Question/Story on my 360/12

Thanks for sharing that! I would love to see some photos. Hard to comment on value without seeing it.

I too once owned a 60’s 360/12 that had been re-necked by the factory in the late 80’s. This is pretty uncommon.

Re: Has anyone here played a pre-1960 4000?

It’s been about four years since I last played one, but I recall the one I played having a really thin (front to back) neck. They are indeed heavy. I’ve never plugged one in.

Re: Satin Autumnglo

The Autumnglo finish from the 70's and early 80's was matte as well.
