Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Jeff - I have an original print that was used in the Richard Smith book. Can you help me verify if it is from an original negative? There is stamping on the back that I feel is vintage. LMK if I can call you. PM me. Regards, Mike

Mine isn’t handy either and in storage. Hopefully it is. I have another copy of the book sent to me along with the Harrison note. I’ll report back after I get them.

Haha,Kenny! That's still a good article. Yeah, George took some lousy pictures but gave some important and useful anecdotes.

Thanks, Jeff! Longtime no talk, my friend. Hope you guys are doing well

This note was meant to be in the Richard Smith book. I thought you might enjoy it. I have never seen another handwritten note or letter by any of the other Beatles discussing their guitars.

Thanks Jeff Any idea when this will happen?

I was real disappointed by this model. Nothing like the original shape & size of the ones previously produced. And the colors offered are just plain. Too bad. Rickenbacker had a chance to fill some dreams to many but reacted in an awkward manner.

Unfortunately, it's a set neck so no luck there, but thanks for that info. Looks like my best deal is a $799 shipment cost that me and the buyer are going to split. Actually, not bad from what I was fist quoted by FedEx & DHL. USPS wouldn't even consider it as the dimensions are too big.

Sorry if I'm in the wrong forum for this request but does anyone here have experience shipping a bass to Australia? I am quoted in the thousands. Are there any freight companies you know of that ship at reasonable prices? Thank you!

I am always suspicious of the E string as so many sets have a dud. How do the Labellas hold up?

Hi Paul! I must have an old email associated with this site. Having trouble finding where to change it. Hope you are well too, my friend!

Guy in Mexico owns it now.

Nice interview, Paul!

Do basses from this period have a more round profile neck than flat & wide? Thanks!

He's collecting vintage guitars now.
