In the midst of some excitement regarding this wackiest of Rickenabcker guitars (TWO on eBay at the time of writing), I present you with this. Enjoy!

Great story and restoration work. I remember reading a guitar mag in the mid 1980's and the "centerfold" was a 331 and I have been fascinated by them since. I just keep thinking that if I were to spurlge and buy one then I would play better. Kenny, does it work this way? BTW, is the neck on your 331 bound? Do all 331 have bound necks?

The neck on this guitar is reeeeeeally slim, like I like 'em; one could then theoretically say it makes one play better, if one is referring to oneself in the third person.
All 331s I've seen have bound necks with dot inlays. As the fingerboard was replaced on this one, I could have done it without binding but I stayed with tradition.

Very cool page you've posted. There should be a permanent link to it from Peter's main site. Since all the restoration work was done at RIC, it's still official. It would be cool if RIC displayed it in their booth at NAMM as a conversation piece (plus, I could then see it in the flesh).
Cheers,
Bill
