Any further updates?

It is indeed a fantastic site, and a great way to spend an afternoon. His limited edition guitars section is fantastic and worth the price of admission alone.

The back of the neck and headstock look more like a brown Tobacco-burst than red Fireglo. It is interesting.

Have you tried contacting Rickenbacker? I had mine framed too when I bought the guitar in 2001 (sadly, it has moved on though I would love it back) and I have to remember it is my poster. They might have extra posters still.

So I took my dremel and recontoured the ...

Thanks for listening to your customers! That is one reason why we love Rickenbackers!
