From ebay ad:
"Up for auction is a Rickenbacker Model 1997 12 string one of kind guitar. We are calling the finish Vintage Ruby as it is similar to original Ruby. The body on this guitar is slightly smaller than a standard 1997. It is about about a half inch smaller all around. This guitar also has the 660/12 neck on it so it will be wider than the standard 1997."
Body 14" wide, 38.5" long, 21 frets, wide neck, f-hole, vintage toaster-top pickups.

That's an awesome looking guitar! The black trim on the Ruby finish looks great!
The JETGLO finish name should be officially changed to JETGLO ROCKS!

+1! I love black trim!rickenbrother wrote:That's an awesome looking guitar! The black trim on the Ruby finish looks great!
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

This guitar doesn't really fit any existing model type, but 1997-12 is close enough for me.
I wonder if there is a reason for the relatively large space between the bridge PU and the bridge?
It's a pretty guitar. The color and black trim reminds me of another one-off, the 325C64 in Burgundy.
