Unusual 17-Fret Rickenbacker 330 'F'

Post by redamber »

On the occasion of a recent 'Big Birthday', my wife presented me with this very rare (indeed, a true 'one-off') 17-fret Rickenbacker 330 with 'f-hole'.

Certainly a great looker, but I fear the truss-rod may need some adjustment to get the neck straight!

Looks like it must have been someone's first attempt at stringing a RIC. Happy Birthday!!!
