Someone spilled the beans on Facebook a couple of days ago, but yes! Very cool.
Re: Guitar Center Beatle special Ricks
Where did you see these listed Jason? I can't find info on them.

JDog.....are you confusing the 360/12GH with the 360/12GG?

Re: Guitar Center Beatle special Ricks
From my sources:
The 360/12GG is just an overpriced 360/12... due to the dollar-euro rate or some such thing...

. . . with 21 frets, vintage hardware, case, and Toaster pickups, of course.
What could the the dollar to Euro rate possibly have to do with it?
Re: Guitar Center Beatle special Ricks
I'm excited about new Rics for the first time since 2008
Re: Guitar Center Beatle special Ricks
Whoa... and a 1996...and a 1999!
I may just be placing an order.

Re: Guitar Center Beatle special Ricks
This is great! Kudos to RIC.
I love how the 1996 is mid-'60s spec, too.

On the 360/12GG - it the Graham pricing model.. . . with 21 frets, vintage hardware, case, and Toaster pickups, of course.

I have no insight on the 360/12GH!!
Re: Guitar Center Beatle special Ricks
The 360/12GH is my favorite of the bunch. Been waiting since 2003 to see a guitar like that show up. Well done, Ric! Quick question: Do the new models have other color options besides what we see?
And the 360/12C63 is still in production, correct?

Re: Guitar Center Beatle special Ricks
Very cool! The 360/12GH looks like my 360/12V66 and the 1996 appears to be very similar to my Fireglo 325V63 with f hole.
Re: Guitar Center Beatle special Ricks
I just spoke with Guitar Center online (called the 800#) who called three different stores in my area (in the Minnesota area) none of whom knew anything about these and one "Manager" went so far as to say they weren't Rickenbacker dealers anymore so no one in the Twin Cities would be carrying them. Once again Guitar Center not having their act together on something.
Not sure how I could find one to try it out or even what they would cost.

Re: Guitar Center Beatle special Ricks
Well, not all Guitar Center stores are Rickenbacker dealers. The one in Edina MN is listed as being one though...kernkamp wrote:I just spoke with Guitar Center online (called the 800#) who called three different stores in my area (in the Minnesota area) none of whom knew anything about these and one "Manager" went so far as to say they weren't Rickenbacker dealers anymore so no one in the Twin Cities would be carrying them.

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...
