There's always the outside chance that it's a '65 Rose Morris 1995 model.
These were export models that were basically identical to the non-export 615, but were sent to a distributor called Rose Morris, who operated in England and Australia only. The only difference to the 615 is a small metal "Rickenbacker" tag on the case, and the knobs are usually all-black. But that's easily changed.
Again, it's not likely since the 1995 was not a popular model, but worth considering since you're in Australia.

Hi Colin,
cant thank you enough for this info!! really appreciate it.
To answer your question, i was born and raised in Australia, but been living in london the last 10 years, so i bought that guitar over here recently, all my ricks I've bought over here actually. I seem to remember Ricks been way more expensive down under, although that could have changed now.
so if its not a 63, but something between a 64-67, I'm still pretty happy, its a lovely guitar and the price was great for what it is. And your right, I've been using a 330 for the last 5 years and i consider it a big part of my bands sound, so i was a little worried about changing models, but even with the Ricky humbuckers, it still sounds like a Ricky! The only thing I'm still working on, is getting feedback back out of it, i guess thats the difference with a solid body but ill keep at it.
So with the TRC, as long as its from a 6 string between 64 and 72, is should be right? Does that apply to any model between those years?
