And in less than 2 hours too Bob. The joy of sharing, it's hard to beat. To the kind soul who is sending along the book, thanks from all of us.

I remember that Norm's Rare Guitars had a left-handed Jetglo 370v/12v64 on eBay a couple of years ago. The bidding got to rich for my pocketbook at the time.

Here's that Rittor book advert...........

Flame body & neck!! Gold Pickguards, Oh those lucky people!

Those are sweet! The stickers lend credence to the idea of the guards being factory. Is it a trick of the scan, or are the TRCs white?
I wonder what NRG Custom means.

They are available in "Firegrow & Maplegrow". How funny is that?

What year was that book released? 1994 or so? I can;t wait to get my copy after all these years.

"...I wonder what NRG Custom means...."

Hmm..... Norm's Rare Guitars?

*smacks head* geez, of course.

So that means there must have been more than one run from Norm's.

I believe the limited run made for Norm's Rare Guitars in the early to mid-90s consisted of thirty guitars. I was told that some were produced with unusual features but all had a wider neck. Here is a photo of one that has a bound neck with dot inlays. I had a chance to buy this one a few years ago but couldn't afford it at the time.

Excellent info and photo, Kevin. Is it a trick of the photo or is the headstock unusually shaped?

Great thread. As usual I am learning more from you gusy than you are from me. I love it!

Bob, I don't know for sure about the headstock. I believe it is a normal shaped headstock for that era. This picture is a scan of a 35 mm photo that the guitar owner mailed me. The tip of the headstock is cut-off in the photo and it is difficult to tell more.

I wonder if Mr. Hall would be willing to chime in with any data on this.

Here's a pic of the 1993 12-string I owned, made in April 1987:

These actually predated the PT series by a few months, I now recall. The 6 and the 12 were both from April. Note the R tailpiece.

By the way, I was a bit muddle-headed in an earlier post. I believe that a fellow named Jimmy D. was the person at Sam Ash who ordered the guitars. Shirley Swanson was supposedly the person at Rickenbacker who took the order.

Kevin, from the look of the pic you posted, that guitar has the wider neck you speak of...with binding too. Cool!
