Corey: Jackson must have agreed to the idea at some point, otherwise RIC would never have gone to the trouble of producing a prototype. There must have been something of significance to get in the way of a signature model.

Corey: I found this information on http://www.jacksonbrowne.com from his biography. Quote:From 1989 to 1993, Browne made no albums. When he returned with I’m Alive, the focus had again turned inward, to an exploration of love lost, a direct reflection of his highly publicized (and grievously misreported) breakup with his longtime lover, Daryl Hannah. Opening with the title track, a declaration of survival wrenched from a heart bereft (“I thought that it would kill me / But I’m alive!” he shouts while standing six inches from the trucks roaring by on 101), yet set to a backbeat with a hint of reggae, the album peaks with one of the most beautiful songs Browne—or anyone—has ever written.

I think that this fits with the timeframe in which the Jackson Browne model was being developed. While this is really a large dose of speculation, the breakup may have been enough to have the project fall by the wayside.

Peter:

Thanks for the info. Your theory is interesting, and from what I understand about Jackson Browne's personality, it does make a lot of sense.

Actually, Rickenbacker is more "across town"
[being in Santa Ana] from Anaheim, than "across the street"....

How about a Dave Gregory (XTC) model 1993?
Look up http://www.guitargonauts.com and, under Pick Of The Month, look up Miss December, 2000.
