Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Vox AC30C2. I upgraded the speakers to UK made Celestion Blues and NOS Amperex tubes.

Awesome pics! I have been drooling over this guitar since as a kid when I saw a "Hard Day's Night" on video. I always thought George's Ric had crushed pearl inlays and not plastic. You learn something everyday!

It would probably look something like this:

Oh my!!!

Thanks for all the responses! There are some beautiful Ric's on this board!!

+1 on the 1993 RI dream :D Nice Mapleglo 1997 Walter and love the 335 to - cool photo, the Gibson f-hole looks really wide compared to the Rickenbacker. Anyway, here's my brace. 1997RI FG from 1986 and 1997SPC JG from 1998. They are chalk and cheese. http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm196/godber6...

The 1993 RI I have had some strange specs. weird location of the bridge, small but elongated f hole, dark sounding pickups and sported a very thin neck. However, the FG finish was spot on!

I'll try to dig up some pics of the 1993 for the serial number. I ended up recently shipping the guitar to a skilled luthier friend in Poland who is going to replace the neck. I got on the subject of a 1993 RI with Chris a few weeks back, (POTR is 10 minutes away from me) and in conversation, he was...

Very nice! I especially love the gold guards and oven knobs on your 330 on the left! is that Montezuma Brown?

Thanks for the response. The ES-335 is dated from 1970. I used to have a really nice 1993 RI (the original owner bought it at Sam Ash in '86 or '87?) albeit, the neck developed a nasty twist to it that couldn't be repaired. I would love to own an original 1993/12...If I could find or even afford one...

Any Ric 1997/330 owners out there? I have a 1997 (made in 1997) reissue that I absolutely adore. I love the slim, sleek and sublimely comfortable neck on this model that fits in my left hand like a glove. The 'hotter' toaster pickups sound terrific, especially the neck pickup which delivers all the ...

Brilliant songwriter. What Ric is he using when he was with Heatmiser? A 340?

Chris is the best! I just acquired a new 330 in FG from him, as well as a 660/6 in the past.
