Would an early 1964 335S or 1997 come with a Pat Pending stamp on the Rickenbacker Accent or would it come without the stamp?

What do the experts say?

That is Sweet. Awesome condition. What month of production?

Greg, quit teasing us!!! :P :lol:

We know it's a 360/12OS...but does it have a slash or "f" hole? I've enjoyed what's been posted so far, but I'm ready to see the guitar's face!

I'm pretty busy over the next few days, but I'll see if I can eventually get some additional pics posted.

Glen: I like this photo at this angle. It seems to show more detail.

Here's the full back:

Check out the grain in the fingerboard. Perhaps a good reference for identification.

Yes, but not a whole lot of interest so far......................................

Collin/Greg...

I don't have ashot from that angle, sadly. But I'll try to get that photo when i see him again, next week...

Any other specific pics requested? I'll do my best to get them.

But I stop short of unscrewing anything from the guitar!! :)


Bruno, no need to take anything apart. I ...

Any chance you have a photo looking straight onto the strap button & tailpiece anchor? I think Greg (and certainly myself) are curious about the screw positions.

Yes +1

Congratulations. That's one of the best RM 1993s that I ever seen. A beautiful instrument.

If you happen to have a chance, can you post a pic straight on of the end-plate strap button? I'd love to see the trapeze strap button and screw positions.

Best regards.....................

Thought you all might find these pics interesting:

This is an awesome thread. Fabulous.

Just curious if you were to get a good close up pic of the bottom of the tailpiece and strap button? Also, another would be a close up pic of the trapaze tailpiece.

I've been to a number of shows there myself. Always had fun. Usually stayed at Hilton towers, since it's fairly close. It's the hotel from The Fugitive (Harrison Ford). Love Chicago! CES Used to have a summer show there!

The other thing that I remember is that the hotel guest rooms had just been repainted. Leaving all the furniture in place, everything, including the bathroom sink, had been painted in tan and white-flecked Zolatone. Utterly surreal!

Oh My Gosh, the fumes from painting everything must have been ...
