The link of the 'last-ditch' 850 models to the Polynesian would be that they share the same basic body contours; beyond that, the similarities ended when they made the Polynesian body semi-hollow (or hollow). All Rickenbacker guitars that are designated "Combo" models are solid body guitars with semi-hollow and hollow being from the "Capri" series.lewilson wrote:It would be great if Mr. Hall could find the info for those 5 guitars, when they were made and how they fit into the 325 story.
The Polynesian Rickenbacker does IMO bridge a gap of sorts.
