BTW: I just bought a Magnatone MK Vlll. Cool but cheap guitar.

He was blown away when I told him the factory was just around the corner! He said he has a Paul Barth guitar (somewhere!). He said he hasn't seen it for twenty years or so - but he remembers it had Rickenbacker hardware on it. He said he'd try and dig it out. He didn't seem like the tidiest person - he might need a shovel
He also has a 60's 12 string. Routed out for humbuckers. All hardware changed and get this.......12 individual tuners (yep - each one different). Oh and a whammy bar added. He said he'd call me when he found them. Sounds interesting!
