V59 from 87
Just took delivery of a 325v59 - which I'm very, very pleased with!
The serial number dates it to November 1987 and it comes with an all black vintage case. I was just wondering if anyone knows when RIC introduced the silver vintages cases?

3 Rickenbackers, 9 Hofners and an Epiphone!
Re: V59 from 87
Not sure when they started using the silver cases,early 90's maybe,,but i had a 325V59 mapleglo from 1989 that came with a black case, but strangely it was not the short scale case!
Me thinks someone put it in a 350 case.
My 360/12V64 also came with a black case,bought new in 1989 also.
Congrats on the new geet!

It seems around 1990/91 is when the silver cases came out, but don't quote me on that.

Re: V59 from 87
I believe it was 1991.
Re: V59 from 87
Certainly the V series came in vintage re-issue silver cases by '91.
My '91 360/12v63 has it's original silver

My January, 1991 381/12 came with a black tolex case. My 1993 381/6 came with a silver tolex case.
There is no reason to ever be bored.

Seems like we're narrowing down the changeover from Black to Silver case. My '91 360/12v63 is from April
