Re: Wanted to Photograph -- '60s Lefty Roundtop 360 series

I'm assisting Martin and Paul Kelly in putting together a comprehensive book on Rickenbacker instruments. The Kelly brothers are located in the UK and have authored the book, Fender the Golden Age -- 1954-1970. Martin is looking for at least one lefty Rickenbacker "roundtop" 360, 365, 370...

Re: Craig Witty R.I.P.

Very sorry to hear of Craig’s passing. I too have had conversations with him through the years on the RRF and he was an enthusiast without doubt. Prayers to his family.

Re: 370-12 Factory Byrd 3 way pickup switch

I remember a thread from years ago where John Hall stated that the switches for the Byrd-wired guitars were hand-assembled (at least the one discussed above) and that he recalled about 80 pairs of switches being built from parts at RIC, and he (as a younger guy) was one of the people that helped mak...

Re: Need info on an inherited guitar.

Without the number on the plate, it's still likely it's from 1975-'79. Nice 320.

Re: 2nd Edition! Help!

I got an email today from the publisher, Hal Leonard Books, that they will be needing to reprint the book as stock is getting low. They knew that I wanted to make some minor corrections, but I suggested that we should do a second edition as I had accumulated more photos and that there were two newi...
