John Fogerty's Rickenbacker

What model Rickenbacker did John Fogerty use in the the late 60's? I think it is a 360. But, it has the three pick-ups and what looks like a
Bigsby bridge. I am looking to customize a Rick to Fogerty's specifications, but I don't know what they are. Anybody know?

You could ask Hideo Kamimoto what was done .I believe that he did all of Fogerty's work for years .

And tell him hello for me if you do ask him.

His shop is now in SanJose Calif and is called Kamimoto strings.

I have that Guitar World poster and have examined it quite closely. It looks like he put the Bigsby tail and bridge on and had a Gibson Humbucker installed in the rear position. He says in that same interview that he was trying to get a Rick to do things it wasn't made to do.

An inspection of the close-up photo of his guitar would be consistent with the Humbucker in the bridge position of which you speak.
