The policy as to which case goes with what guitar has not changed this millennium but it was always possible in the past to order an upgrade from standard to vintage style.

The price list shows this fairly clearly in the header of each section.

As you may have guessed by now, Stan - I'll drink just about anything (except low alcohol beer)!!

I've only had Bud and Millers, so anything else will be a new experience.

Can't wait to get over there and try a few(?) Image

Trust me, Howard, if you drink a Lone Star...you'll only want one. But you're welcome here in Texas any old time and more notably, Lubbock, where I now live.
And thanks again for the pix. Now, I gotta pull the trigger on new MB with the molded case....a coupla of Lone Stars oughta do it.

Paul, it's just your basic 330. I had an older, '91 model, 330 FG and, well, I sort of abused it and sold it a year or so ago and have wanted one since. I also wanted this 350 MB but it was way too steep for my liking. The price on this was decent. I've have vacillated over this for the last two weeks....and I called too late today and they were already closed.

This is more info than you wanted...you just asked the model. Sorry, got carried away. But the more I saw of the MB's the more I liked them.

A friend of mine has just bought a 330 in MB. I fully admit that MB is not my favourite colour & I can't see me ever owning one, but I must say that it looked quite spectacular on a 330 & I can fully see why it is as popular as it is.
He is absolutely delighted with it.
'Rickenbacker'...what a name! After all these years, it still thrills me.

Also looks great on a 381V69, Tony. Ahem.

The MB is about as close as coming to Autumnglo I will likely see (unless there is something in the shop I'm unware of, which is likely)...you gotta love the color...or maybe not, but it only matters to me.

I really, really like MB....... unfortunately in my case down under (talking new Ricks here) it stands for 'Missed the Boat'!!

Well, the trigger got pulled today on another, the MB 330 is on its way.

Note for Kenny: the dealer spoke of you....I'll say highly. But they couldn't exactly recall your last name.

Can't wait for this one, but can wait for the bill.

I'll hold my congratulations until it arrives and you start yodeling.

But I will say: you're gonna love the color!

(Gotta get some gold guards on that baby ASAP, Stan...)

Stan, I'll be glad to do you a set of gold guards. The TRC you can get from Rick on a "mail-in + cash" swap.
