How many Rics do TP and Mike have?

Post by JakeK »

I have this final list of both guitarists' Ric collection, starting from the very first Ric collected:

365OS FG
620/12 FG
362/12 JG
360/12NS MG
360OS MG
360/12 NS FG
1997 RI FG
360V64 Solid body FG
360/12V64 FG
370/12RM MG
360/12CW FG
660/12TP FG
330 FG
330/12 MG
330 Capri FG
425 FG
460 Capri FG
4008 Redneck
4003 Redneck
4001 JG
4001C64 FG
4005 MG
4005/6 MG
325C64 JG
1996 RI AFG
1997 RoMo FG
1993/12 RoMo FG

There are probably a helluva lot more, but I'm in computer class right now, finished with an assignment, and I thought I'd revise the TP/MC collection

That was a good thing to do with your class time, Jake, I can't imaging there was anything else to do there. :mrgreen: 8) 8) 8)

I think the 325 in that list is actually a 325v63. Tom played it at the end of the Simpsons episode he was in in Nov. 2002, well before the first c64s were shipped in 2005.

Oh, snap! I forgot the two 325-style Rics that TP and MC have:

350MC JG
615 JG (Mystery Ric)

The 615 is the Ric I think you're referring to, Dan. Tom would probably never attempt lead on a 325.

Could have sworn it was short-scale...I'll look for the episode.

Here it is...sorry for the poor quality.

Definitely a 325. And since this episode aired in 2002, it's a 325v63.

Wow, Petty attempts more than I give him credit for...

Never thought I'd see him on a shorty...more importantly, it's not a C64...it's a V63...saw a 325 in the Mudcrutch album booklet, and assumed it was a C.

Yeah, sounded really good and overdriven in the episode!

Wonder why he doesn't like short-scales...a 325 would be perfect for him.

oh, I'm sure TP and MC have WAY more than we know about. Think...those are just the ones that they take out on tour, or early ones that we know about. Think about the stuff that is too nice to take out.

I've always said....their collection would be a great coffee table book. I have this cool book on Rick Nielson's (cheap trick) guitar collection called Guitars of the Stars Vol.1, though I don't think they made any more. It's full of really nice color pics, including his pristine RoMo1997 and 8 string 4001

What is that black Rick with the gold pickguard that Mike Campbell is playing on "Running Down a Dream" towards the end of the movie of the same name?

There are a few threads about this...most seem to think it's some kind of custom-made 350.
