New at Yokohama Music Fair

Over on the RIC forum, John Hall posted this in response to questions about 325C64:
"The real debut for these and something else will be at the Yokohama Music Fair in early November."
Anyone care to take a stab at what the "something else" might be? I doubt it would be related to the 75th anniversary, as that would probably be more suited to the January NAMM show. A few years ago, these showed up in Yokohama although they were for the Japanese market only.

Hopefully the "something else" will be available in North America this time.

I believe the "something else" models will have f-holes. There have been other hints about this from Mr. Hall on the RIC website Forums.

"Rose Morris" reissues would be my guess. I think we could see a "1996" which is very similar to a 325C64 or a "1993" based on the 360/12C63.

Whoo Hoo! Don't let me down Kevin, you've promised now! (LOL)

Yep, a complete line of Rose-Morris reissues will be terrific. As somebody said, "Don't let me down!"

Then we Northern Americans better place our orders for "something else" right NOW! Lemme get out the checkbook.... Oh wait, what was it again?

I wonder if it could be a 6-string 360c63. So far it's only available as a twelver, right? That might be contrary to the "Harrisonesque" quality of the re-ish, but still, the v64 was available as a sixer.

When Rickenbacker introduces a new model(s), one might assume they will post a press release on their site with all the juicy details on said model(s) the day of release?

While it's nice to dream about whatever might constitute a 75th anniversary model (or COTY or whatever), it's also best to just wait and see what they might be when they're announced.

Then everybody can wait a few more years until you can maybe actually see one in person. "Maybe" being the operative term here.

Hey, I'm just a realist - so kill me if you must.

I think we're all just dabbling in idle speculation, purely for fun. I can't see any of us tricking JH into spilling the beans before he's ready! Whatever it is, I know I'll have to have one if I can!
