What makes "C" a "C?"

Post by yettoblaster »

My 650-C doesn't seem to be in this category.

I understand "V."
What's a "C?"

Cheyenne? Thats probably what it means for the 650. On the "C" Series... It's probably because "C" comes after "B". Sounds logical to me.

Steve, check out the catalog or website. The C Series are Beatles replica guitars. I don't know what the "C" really means, although I have heard one amusing suggestion!

Your 650 is a 600 Series guitar with a cute moniker... the "Colorado"

Classic makes logical sense.

Considering the orders RIC has received for the C series, perhaps it stands for "cash"? Image

Thanks all.
Jeffrey, it's a 2000.

Guess I'll just have to hang onto it until it becomes a Classic.

I 've always assumed that it derived from the original "Capri" model name.

"Circa," perhaps? 325 Circa '58?

I honestly don't know.

I "C" what RIC means as they craft a vintage reissue as close to original specifications as possible.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Well, if it was all suppose to go logically in alphabetical order (as a couple suggested, B to C) starting with the short-lived B series then followed by the V series which should have been the C series and then the C series should have been the D series. BTW, what did the B series stand for? And what happened to the A series? Image

Didn't "B" stand for "Beatles"?
My first bass was a Rickenbacker...
My best bass is a Rickenbacker...
My last bass may very well be a Rickenbacker
